#Faebruary Loves
Hooray, got a review of my first planner sticker set! ★★★★★ Woohoo! That's very encouraging, I'm new to this and don't have the whole planner thing all down yet. But I think I have a unique style to offer to the planner community and hope they love what I have. I'm going for a niche section of the planner community. The gothic planner! There are a few other dedicated goth planner designers out there, but the community could use one more. My style is more arty goth than true goth. As I will go with whatever shall inspire me.
This set was inspired by a February birthday gift for Vanessa. The pink and peach with grey is from painted papers I designed to decorate her gift box. She makes such lovely gift boxes, I had to return the favor. And #Faebruary I wanted to hop on the artist challenge with a few of my faeries. Not certain what the March tag will be, but they are always fun to follow. There are usually a few different art challenges going on every month. I try to always participate in the #Inktober ones, and once started my own #junecalligraphy challenge on deviantART with a few friends.
February is ending so this monthly kit shall be going on sale. It is undated, so will still be good for next year. When the listing expires, I may relist again in January.
March Releases
 |
| Coming soon - "Late Winter's Lament" |
No release date as of yet on my next kit. I'm almost finished designing, but admittedly, got sidetracked. First, I wanted to make new art for the deco stickers, so made a set of watercolor ATCs. Now, deciding what to do with the originals. I am thinking I will include as March freebies for all shipped purchases. There are only 8, so limited available. After they are gone, I may make prints available in my Etsy store.

ATC Stickers and originals - "Spiders in My Hair" |
Love is in the Air - Pt. 3
Speaking of prints.
iprintfromhome.com is doing their annual "Love is in the Air" promotion. I didn't enter the art contest this time. But they have s promotion for their loyal customers with a referral program called "Thank You Dollars". Via their new customer promotion, all new accounts get $10 credit, and for everyone I refer, I get $12 "Thank You Dollars" in my account. "Thank You Dollars" go towards restocking my print inventory. I am very small business and cannot afford to stock my 'shelves' without this.
Please consider using this company for your fine art prints as well as excellent everyday photo printing. They have great customer service and excellent quality with fair prices. It is a family owned business that cares about their customers, especially artists and photographers and supports their work.
Silhouette Font Creator

| I fixed the hideous "H" |
And here is how else I got sidetracked. Silhouette Studio Business Edition had an update which included Silhouette Font Creator! I had to try it out. So, you might be seeing some fancy font action from me! A chance to practice my calligraphy. May make it easier for me to design a monogram font as well.
I adapted this to be a cut file so I could make several at once and on chipboard for the boys to paint with me. Assembly was pretty easy. Just a bit of hot glue. Other materials we used: craft paint, tacky
/craftbond glue
, ribbon, and I attempted to make a dimensional 'paint' with DAS air-dry clay
, but used too much water.
