Two new cute originals and a time lapse!

 Happy Tuesday, friends! I've been having fun painting messy sweet faces again. I'm only posting videos to instagram because pictures are grayed out and look terrible. My guess is that instagram's algo' only shows videos so that is what I'm posting. And songs too. I feel like I'm back in the Myspace days. 

So here are some pics

They are now available in my etsy shop!

New Original artwork!

 Hi friends, I've been having a blast painting on tags again! I have some new work up in my etsy shop:

I couldn't be more grateful to create work that heals me every day. Your support over the last 18 years has meant the world to me. 

When you put your heart out there and someone responds to it emotionally, it is the most incredible gift. 

What joy my art brings to me and I'm so happy that you respond to it. 

Love you all !

Basketball Stickers!!

 This cute basketball themed die cut sticker and sticker sheet feature some of my latest journal illustrations. 

(Did you know that I played basketball? We were back-to-back state champs 1991-1992 and I went on to play four years in college for the Harding Bisons in Searcy, Arkansas.)

I've recently gotten back into watching the NBA after taking a long hiatus after Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson retired. It has been a blast to get to know the game again! I also am getting into watching the WNBA. My favorite team is the Minnesota Lynx.....and Nephesha Collier.

This sticker sheet features 9 stickers on a court themed background. My number was the lucky 13 so of course I had this cutie wear this number!

Get them here!

New Collage paper digital download

 Happy Wednesday ! 

I've been working on some new painted papers and wanted to share them digitally. These are great for using as a background in your junk journal. 

You can also print on sheets of sticker paper. I like the matte finish sticker sheets from online labels.

Here are the clear sticker papers from online labels. just click the pic. These are for inkjet printers. This paper is wonderful because you don't have to fuss-cut because the paper simply blends into your journal papers. Really awesome and learned how cool these are from Tangie Baxter!
