Owl Illustration for Girls Rooms

My newest mixed media creation. Chevron, stripes, gold, pink, dots, patterns washi tapes... make up a cool striped look for the background.

I then painted and used inks to create my owl illustration.

Then I uploaded the design to be a printable wall poster that can be customized by you!! This poster art is affordable and available in Extra Large to small size!! You can easily change the name to be that of your daughter's or friends... or put any wording you like on it... it's completely up to you!!

Alice in Wonderland Tea Party Ideas

On my Alice Page you'll find things like:

New Designer Bags!

Zazzle have done it again!  They've just this weekend released a whole bunch of fabulous new bags/clutches that can be custom made with anything printed on them!  There's wristlets, coin purses, make up bags... the works... all with zippers!  They're called Bagettes and they're gorgeous! Can't wait to order one... I just can't decide which Pip Pip Hooray designs to order.  Maybe I'll do a giveaway!

And if that wasn't cool enough news... I then found out that Zazzle used my design to feature on the largest water resistant canvas bag on the landing page!! That is HUGE and I was beyond thrilled... absolutely over the moon!!!  Check it out....

here's where you can do it...

Photoshop Doodling

Just playing around with photoshop and this was the result!  Took all of 15 minutes.

I love that I can doodle on my computer using my wacom pen tablet!!

This kind of thing I just love to do... where I start with a blank background to fill (in this case I used the open graph book as my canvas) and just go from there... using my gut instinct to just add whatever I want.  SOOOO much fun!

New Pip Pip Hooray Designs.

Boy have I been on a designing streak of late... I just can't stop! When I'm a roll like this... I don't like to stop & keep myself kind of in my designing bubble (which I'm sure frustrates my fella... I hope he understands)... cause it doesn't happen too often where I just keep going and going and going!

Here's just a few of my most recent new designs.... Was feeling the cute vibe it seems.

This first was a request from a lovely lady in Sydney, Australia for her daughters christening. It matches her cake somewhat...

Keep an eye out for this one to soon be appearing on a number of different products for different occasions.

And because I was feeling the cute vibe I decided to try my hand at a children's farm animal party theme design... here's what I came up with...  It's a mixed media design... with the fence being made up of an actual photograph of wood planks.  The rest is my own vector design created with my wacom pen tablet.

I'll post some more when my design streak wears off some :)

The Muppets Party Extravaganza!

Thought I'd talk about my latest labour of love which is a page full of all the best Muppets party ideas, free printables and party ware you'll find anywhere on the web!!

Since I was a young girl I have always been a massive Jim Henson fan. Anything muppet related I just seemed to adore. Brian Froud had a lot to do with it too... as I was and am still a very big fan. Brian Froud is the artist behind the Dark Crystal and the Labyrinth... his art is unique and filled with so much wonderful fantasy!

So as you may know... on top of having my designs selling in my zazzle stores I also write articles on Squidoo. I've found myself mostly gravitating towards creating pages to help other parents with their own kids party ideas.. mostly because I'm finding making the pages the most fun to do! :)

My latest Muppets page was one that has been in the making for many many months. It was the one of the first pages I wanted to do but thought there wasn't enough muppets resources on the internet for me to make the kind of detailed party pages I usually like to make. But I perservered and feel happy with this latest party ideas page... it's definitely my most favourite so far!!

Thanks to the latest brilliant Muppet Movie as well as Disney now owning the brand... it's having a resurgence the likes that haven't been seen for a very long time... which makes me very happy! And watching the new movie makes me happy too... I absolutely adore it. I have to say... I think its the best Muppet Movie yet! The perfect mix of funny, silly, corny, muppet old school and muppet new school to keep everyone entertained. But I think especially us old school Muppet Fans will be the ones to appreciate it most!

So this new Muppets Party Page.... is filled with so much Muppets party inspiration that anyone wanting to hold a Muppets theme party for their child will hopefully find this page beyond invaluable!!
