Sea Dragon's Treasure

Sea Dragon's Treasure is my latest stamp design being offered by Queen Kat Designs. I originally painted this cute little fellow as a book mark design. Hence his most prized possession is a book.

Hello Monday

work work work....gotta get to the day job....so just a few pics for you then i will come back later in the week and put directions  on my blog....thanks have a happy paper crafting kind of day....=0) jeanie

Along came a Spider is whimsical steam punk piece I did for the Enchanted Visions Project. I enjoyed making Little Miss Muffet into a grown woman who can take care of herself, even if she has an irrational fear of spiders. I suspect the aether gun might be overkill for the little brass spider though. And the stamp featuring this design was very recently released at QKD.

hello Monday

an art journal page i did on Saturday...at 5am was just not feeling well and wanted something bright and happy! =0) I used gelatos for the color and doodled alot....used my love to create and word background stamps at QKD...add color to a paper with whatever medium you have (watercolor, gelatos, ink etc) then add some stamps and stencils --it is very freeing to just let go and create....no self criticism allowed! =0)
 set the artist inside of you free

Lazy Dragon

My newest stamp with QKD came from an Artist Trading Card ink drawing that I did on tinted paper. My favorite thing about this drawing is how the tree becomes the frame and the little dragon's tail wraps around it. I think this is the first piece I did that with, but it has become something I have done in several of my drawings and paintings since. I like the formal framing and then having the subject blend, interact and flow beyond the frame.

Lots of news!!

Party Time

This weekend I am in Dallas for the big anime party they hold here each year called A-kon. I have been having a crazy wonderful time surrounded by lots of pretty costumes and folks enjoying themselves. So keeping with all the bring colors that have been part of my life this weekend, I am sharing one of the cards I made with my QKD stamps.
I used my little fairy cat with the cupcake and the swirls and circle background stamps on this. I even decorated the envie and colored in the circles to match the paper I used on the card. And I used the swirl green on green card stock to fancy up the plain card stock.

Thursday Thoughts

Well, another Thursday, and it is super super hot here! It has hit 100, and it is only the beginning of June! I hate to see what July is going to look like!

So, I am thinking cool thoughts today. So, what can we find in the QKD store that is "cool." Well, everything is cool just because it is QKD. Before I head off to the store to show you some fabulous find for today, just a reminder that the shipping department will be closed May 31st - June 8th. All orders received May 30th-June 8th will begin to ship June 9th. Each order placed during that time will receive a free gift with purchase.

So, just think, you can go ahead and shop now, and get a free gift just for waiting. MMMM, sounds like a good deal to me!

Here are my "cool" picks for today:

What about a trip to the Artic -- Artic Blue Mermaid Stamp



or Winter Greetings



Well, here are two cool finds for today; go fishing in the store itself and see what you can find!!!

Pop Dragon Card

I love this card by Kimme from the gallery at QKD. It is such a happy card with the pinks and greens. And I love how she reinforced the bubble design with the circle pattern paper.

Welcome Ann Hsiao-Yen Howard

Today we are proud to welcome Ann Hsiao- Yen Howard to our team. Her asian flare is perfect for rubber stamps. Lets meet Ann...I am originally from Taiwan and now living in California. I am a full-time artist and mother of two. I do gallery shows and also enjoy selling my work on eBay. I like realistic paintings, but I prefer to paint what I feel and think rather than just what I see. My paintings can be colorful but I don't use more than 7 colors in each piece of my work. I want my paintings to be colorful but not overwhelming. I love to create cheerful artworks to soothe bumps and lumps or just simply bring smiles to people. I am the kind of artist who gets bored by painting the same subject over and over again, so I am always searching for new themes.

Jump over to Jan's blog for the start of our blog hop. :) Please join us tonight at 7pm PST on our Facebook Fan page. There will be fun and prizes.

Have a fantastic day!
