News from Quixotic Paperie: Tina Wenke and more…

No card today I’m afraid – I had hoped to be able to show you one with another of the gorgeous images from Mo’s Digital Pencil.  Sadly a mild grumble at the back of my head yesterday has evolved into something rather more angry, so I’m going to take my headache and retire to the [...]

Spike – The Addiction is Official

When I saw this little guy in Mo’s Etsy shop, I simply couldn’t resist.  I am a sucker for all things canine, and I love images imbued with a sense of humour.  Spike has been coloured using Copic Markers (list at the end, as usual), cut out and popped up on foam pads for a little [...]

Mo's Digital Pencil Goes Challenge Crazy!

Over the weekend I came across some digital stamps so gorgeous and so very “me” that I just had to have them!  Wandering by Jami’s blog, I discovered Mo’s Digital Pencil.   I simply had to play with the images right away.  I particularly love the elf illustrations; they remind me of a favourite book of [...]

Mermaid Emma – Friday Sketchers #62

Whoo!  A card!  Finally… Seems the old mojo needed a good kickstart, but I think we’re back in business!

Designs.  Mermaid Emma is such fun to [...]

Lots of lovely stash!

It’s amazing how a toothache can turn into a week or more of anxiety and stress (I am a complete baby about going to the dentist), and a complete loss of mojo!  Thankfully I’ve managed to drag myself off the sofa and catch up on all the not so fun tasks that piled up.  Now [...]

Pink Cat Studio – Cowboy Ethan – Quixotic Goes Digi!

Last year I abandoned my faithful Epson printer and went with an HP all-in-one for convenience sake.  Never again!  The number of problems I had with that printer, I was just about ready to throw it through a window.  So, after a lot of research and pondering, I finally bought a new printer last week, and [...]
