A little bit of Jammin'

Introducing "Angie Jam" from the Saturated Canary range of digital stamps.  This stamp was a custom design by another Saturated Canary fan, Angie Vallee, my new crafting gal pal from California.  This stamp sooooo looks like Angie.

I firstly coloured her with fluorescent pink and then decided that maybe she'd look better in purple :)

The Stamping Chef

Introducing "Alyce the Copic Fairy", special celebration image from "The Stamping Chef".
This image was created for Alyce Keegan, owner of Kit and Clowder.  I had a lot of fun colouring this image.  I received an incredible amount of comments and feedback on this piece (on the Kit and Clowder facebook page).  It's so wonderful to receive messages from all over the world.  One particular private message was from a fellow colouring gal pal in Salt Lake City which made my day :)

My Custom Image from the amazing Krista Smith, Saturated Canary


Recently I was given the opportunity to have a custom image designed by Krista Smith, Artist and Owner of Saturated Canary.  All I had to do was provide Krista with as much detail about my vision of an image, which she would then create for me and of course, her ever so popular business.  I asked Krista to design a Parisian Fashionista given my love of Paris.  Krista captured all the elements and my description beautifully.  Here is the digital image called "Denise" which is available to purchase in digital format through the Saturated Canary Store.  I just adore her.

Je M'Appelle Denise
