If you've ever wondered how I paint, here's a little video!

Crafty Christmas

If you fancy having some of my pin up ladies adorning your Christmas cards there's only one way to go about it! I currently have 3 Christmas digital crafting kits available for sale on Daisytrail.com, they feature a huge selection of hand-drawn character illustrations and supporting embellishments, background papers, alphabets and brushes, and all work with a piece of software called CraftArtist. You can download a FREE compact version of the CraftArtist software to give it a try and make your own DIY Christmas Cards and crafts for your dinner table. 

It allows you to quickly and easily make greetings cards and other crafty items on your PC, to print at home, using the illustrations etc from these kits. It's a lot of fun and if you're artistically inclined you can import your own illustrations, photos etc to make a fully customizable project.

Anyway enough babble, here's some of my pretty pictures from the kits! 
My kits are "Traditional"  "Retro" and "Homebaked" (I baked all the cookies and iced them myself!).

A crafty update!

I've been a busy bee of late so I'm aware my blog is well overdue an update!

Late September we spent 2 and a half weeks in the USA on a little roadtrip from San Francisco to Las Vegas via Yellowstone and lots of other scenic places, it was hugely inspirational.
Here's me with 3 Elvises and a man dressed as the Vegas sign!

While I was away my latest digital scrapbooking kits were released on Ideal World's Create and Craft TV. The kits were....PIN UP THEMED! I had to keep that a secret far too long! There were 5 kits in total on different themes, here's a little selection of images from the different kits.

We're also celebrating my promotion to Senior Creative Illustrator at Serif and the release of my Christmas scrapbooking kits for Craft Artist, now available to buy on Daisytrail.com. My kits are "Traditional"  "Retro" and "Homebaked" but more about those in a future blog!

That just leaves me to say a belated Happy Halloween!
