Today's new digital stamp is "Cupcake Birdie"!  I really love the birdie design I created with "Balloon Birdie" digital stamp that I needed to start making more cute designs with this little guy!  I think my favorite part is that is little party hat is tilted off to the side!  I am planning on creating more designs with this little guy and hoping I can create my own Birdie pattern!  Cupcake Birdie is now available in the 2 Cute Ink Digi Shop! 

To tell you the truth I have been struggling so much this week!  I had no motivation, I felt like I didn't know what to work on next and just didn't even feel like drawing!  I took two days to step away and try to clear my head but that really didn't work!   I then did a little shopping for myself, bought new gym shoes and pj's and 5 new books!  I thought it was about time I treat myself to a few new items.  At the book store I really got inspired and bought a book on polymer clay beads, a creativity workbook, doodle stitching book, a how to sell your crafts online book and the latest 2013 artist's market and graphic designer's market book!  I think I just needed some "New' items to get inspired and also some good books to help me get where I want to be!  I have realized I don't always want to draw draw draw but I want to be crafty and start making things again!  My Fiance Brandon and I also bought ourselves some bicycles so we can now go bike riding together for exercise and enjoyment and I am loving it so much!  I do love the outdoors and being outside seeing all the scenery and feeling the sun beam down on me.  So I am happy to say I am starting to feel better and getting back in the swing of things!

For this weeks digital stamp I decided I wanted to start making more designs with some of my favorite 2 Cute Ink digital stamp characters!  My main goal here is to try and create "collections" using the same characters in different poses!  Can you guess what this week digital stamp is?  Be the first one to guess right here or on the 2 Cute Ink Facebook page and you will get this digital stamp FREE! :)

So my mom was in for a visit last weekend!  The time flew by as usual and we really only had 1 day to visit, watch the Super Bowl, watch movies and craft but we managed to squeeze in everything!  We didn't get to make cards until almost midnight but I was just so excited we did something.  My mom brought her copic markers and papers so we went to work.  I haven't really made many cards and not any using copic markers so I took a more simple approach. I used my newest digital stamp "Puppy Love" and my mom used "Panda Love" to create our cards.  I managed to get marks on my card after I finished and was a bit frustrated, I spent all that time and then I messed it up lol.  I managed to fix it a bit and felt better!  I don't know how everyone makes cards lol, it takes me so long and and then I would probably mess them all up!   I did have fun with my mom but I think I will let the professional card makers make cards and I will stick to the drawing part! 

So I been having a little artist block the last couple of days! I just have had no 'visions' of what to draw. I usually can sometimes "see" what I want to create but my mind has been blank. So I forced myself to sketch just know and this is what I came up with. A cute girl good luck monster based off my monster balloon character design!

My new digital stamp for today is of a cute little squirrel holding an acorn!  I think the thick and thin lines really work for this little squirrel and it reminds me more of my older inking style!  Squirrel Present digital stamp is now for sale in my 2 Cute Ink Digi Shop!  I am hoping to add some color to this squirrel today so check back tomorrow to see how he turned out!
