HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American Friends!
To mark the occasion I created this little Snag with the wonderful artwork of Rion Jordon AKA PinupToons and my Fairy Dreams in the Woods and Fairy Dreams in the Fall kits. The pumpkin is by Malily.

AMY BROWN TAGS

Some of my designer friends also guest CT for me, for example the talented Lisa of Sassy Scraps Designs who made me this beautiful Tag with an exclusive Amy Brown Christmas tube and my Krafty Christmas kit.

So this weekend I decided to return the favor and do some guest CT-ing for Sassy Scraps Designs. I chose 2 of her latest Winter kits, Snow Angels and Snowflake Sweeties which are both super cute and are on sale now! As she's an Amy Brown fan I used fairies from Amy Brown Pack D available HERE

Here are the tags I have made with the other fairies from this pack. This is a great pack if you wanted to make tags with my Fairy Dreams in the Moonlight kit as the colours match perfectly.

...and this book fairy from the pack works great with my Fairy Dreams in the Fall and Add-on kits:

MAXINE GADD

I have just discovered the wonderful artwork of Maxine Gadd and thought I'd share one of her illustrations with you. She is a graphic designer and illustrator based in Australia who creates stunning fantasy characters using Photoshop.

I had been looking everywhere for some web-friendly Marie Antoinette artwork to use with my Pretty Princess Marie Kit and was delighted when I found this beautiful Cinderella tube by Maxine.

You can find the image I used in this piece HERE. Everything else is from my Pretty Princess Marie Kit. The silhoutte in the background is a stamp that comes with the kit that you can use as a brush, clipping mask or simply recolor the png to match your artwork. The glitter wings and tiara are flourishes that come with the kit and are not part of the tube.

Pretty Princess Marie comes in Full and Tagger Size and is available HERE
