more illustrator creations

Hello! I've been having so much fun with my illustrator class so I have a few more creations to share. I feel like since the course started I haven't done anything creative except illustrator, but I am just having so much fun and its so addicting.

I was nervous for the class, since I am not happy drawing in "real life", I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to draw "on the computer", so I am so excited to see that it is a totally different way of "drawing" and computer drawing is oh so much easier than real drawing.

Thanks for visiting!

and then I drew a giraffe

I've been having so much fun playing in Illustrator, and I was so happy with how my birds came out the other day, so I decided to draw a giraffe. I'm really happy with how he came out too.

Illustrator Course

Hello! Most of my creative time lately has been eaten up with an online Adobe Illustrator Class I am taking. I am loving it so much! Such a fun new way to play.I was worried I wouldn't enjoy the course since I don't draw well, but it is such a different way of drawing. These are some of the graphics I have been working on.

I have so many creative ideas swimming in my head these days. I am enjoying the creative process and where it takes me. Today I am oh so happy it has taken me to the digital world of Illustrator.

a few cards

Hola darlings. This week has been mostly unproductive craft wise for me. Work has been crazy, so I'm tired at the end of the day. A couple of weekends ago I made some teabag cards, it was one of those lovely days when one card inspires the next, and so on. A wonderfully fun creating time was had.

And, just because I miss my sister.

Inspiration Journal

I've been hugely inspired by Donna Downey, especially her 'Inspiration Journals'. A couple of weeks ago I finally made my own inspiration journal as a spot where I can paint and play with ideas and just create.

'Be You Tiful' I painted a while ago when I still lived in Edmonton, but I modified it a bit so it would fit in my journal.

'Life goes on, things change' is a line from one of my favorite Tim McGraw songs, and reminded me of the beautiful fall leaves. It was fun including the beautiful fall leaves I've been enjoying lately.

I was inspired by my journal fabric to play with some poppies:

Well thats it for now, thanks for visiting - have a great weekend!

Color Cue

Happy long weekend Monday! I've spent quite a bit of this weekend playing and being creative, and I decided to play along with a couple color challenges.

This is not a color combination I use often, so I figured it was a good challenge to play along with. I ended up making 2 very simple cards.

Thats it for now, thanks for visiting!
