Alice Digital Stamps

Hey guys,

I have a new digi for everyone today.

She was a bit on the stubborn side. I changed my mind at least a dozen times while sketching her. I erased so much I almost put a hole in my paper.
At first she was a vampire with slicked back hair holding a goblet.
(Why would a vampire need to hold a goblet? I don't know but it looked cute, lol)

I liked everything but her hair. I really enjoy drawing hair but this one just didn't have enough pizazz for me. So I fluffed and softened it a bit. That however, made me question the glass. It was very ornate and almost to goth for my style. So I tried a few different goblets and even a potion bottle. 

Once I decided on the perfect drinking glass, I couldn't make up my mind if I still wanted her to be a vampire. She made a stunning vamp, but she also looked beautiful without fangs. I could see myself using her for just about any other holiday too.

So since I am having such an indecisive week, 
I just decided to do both.
Romantic and Pretty 
as well as 
Stunning Vampire

And in the future, I think I might go ahead and redraw the potion one too. Make it all heart shaped and cutesie with a little tag hanging down that says Love Potion.  Wouldn't that be cute for Valentines Day.

New Stamp Time!!!
Today I have a new Halloween digi, I almost had two but my second one was just being down right stubborn. I'll have that one for you guys by this weekend.

For today, how does a kitty costumed cutie sound?

Kitty Mac Cuddlebug Cuties

This is a recreation of Mac. Every time I looked at her I just thought she would make the cutest cat. I couldn't wait for Halloween to come around so that I could recreate her.


Isn't this paper adorable? I found it at the bottom of my paper stack. It's from K&Companies Halloween collection from last year.

Boo!!


Patience is a virtue.
It is one that I was not born with. 
Maybe it's a learned behavior, 
but I haven't really leaned it yet either, 
lol

When I first decided to make a Halloween collection, I figured I'd draw several digis and put them up in my store. Then I would would make a few more and post them on my blog as freebies over the weeks that followed. 

However....

It's not really that much fun spending days creating something and then tucking it into a folder to save for later.

So now I've decided to break my collection up a bit and put them up as I make them.  Today I have a free digi on my blog and a new one in my store.

This one's called Boo. She's just sitting in the shadows telling spooking stories for the enjoyment of her friends.

 I added a little bit of shadow and turned the flashlight on in this one.

This is a Smashbook page I'm working on. So much paper cutting, but I love how it looks.

I have also added Raven to my store.
 I really wanted a cute reaper for Halloween.

 I am so happy with how my scythe turned out. When I showed it to my dad the first thing he said was, "Awesome, I like the weapon. Guess all that time playing World of Warcraft paid off."
All I could do was laugh. I never would have dreamed that either of my parents would tell me something good came from me playing a video game. I don't think I could hold a candle to the W.O.W. graphic designers but it made for a good laugh.
