Back From California

I spent the better part (emphasize on the word BETTER) of last week in California with my WMWH Todd. He let us extend our trip an extra day so that I would be able to attend an SCS (Splitcoaststampers) function called SCSMV (Southern California Stamp Mania 5). WOW! What a trip. You can read about it on my blog.

Needless to say, a few days of no internet left me behind on some of my projects. I have not forgotten about ANYONE. Please send me an email silaika @ gmail dot com to let me know where you stand on your project. I will happily finish things up!

In the mean time, our 2 year old has come down with a case of CHICKEN POX! (Yes, she was vaccinated). So I am home for the next few days, trying to keep her away from her siblings. I will periodically check my email!
Thank you for your patience!

Doodlebuggin' Banner


One of my favorite things is getting an email from someone requesting a banner and giving me SPECIFIC information on what they are looking for. That was the case with Lauri, who sent me links to her favorite brand of designer {doodlebug} papers. I whipped up the banner and she really liked it. I love the bright colors on the black background.

Kylie's Blossoms

Kylie contacted me with an image of a card which she had seen on a popular stamping website. Although those images are copyright, I was able to create a design very similar using my computer. It was really easy, and through the magic of digital design, I was able to come up with this design which even *I* fell in love with. The brush was hand drawn and then the leaves and the flowers were added on afterwards. The colors were selected by Kylie. I am proud of this one! {wipes tears as she sends this one off in to the big blogging world}

Bevie Pearl

My good friend Beverly contacted me to help design a fun and unique banner for her blog. This is the design we came up with - she is a fan of pink and is kind of possessive of her scissors. So watch out! Check out her blog
