May Day bank holiday

Here in UK its a holiday and for once the sun is shining and its a beautiful day even up here in Scotland

Elisabeth's stamps will be available in a few weeks, I don't think Funkykits will be doing pre orders for this range as they will be for the next new range.

At this point I want to add music to this blog, so that I can play you "CANDY MAN" but personally I don't like music on blogs as it slows it up for my computer.

SO sing it to yourselves, sing it out load, louder, wiggle about a bit.......................don't you feel better already.

Who would make good use of some candy from the new range by Elisabeth? Please post you
comment and i will pick a winner.

Pickin Apples

Here is your peek for Friday, I think these darling stamps are just made to be coloured in.

In answer to Dee in Oklahoma's question about the water mark over the top of black and white images, these are there to protect copyright, unfortunately there are naughty crafters who will copy and print images from the computer rather than buy stamps. This is very very naughty and I urge you never to put a black & white image of a stamp on your blog for others steal.

Knowing that you will now understand why companies such as Whipper Snapper only have coloured images in their online catalogue. And on the subject of naughty crafters it is against most Angel Policies to sell stamped images.

But lucky for us we have such a lovely group of sugar addicts and we love to see what you all make with your sweet rubber stamps. Remember that we add to the gallery often and you can sent you images to info@sugarnellie.com

These new stamps by Elisabeth will be available mid May and I am sure that you will love these.

There are even some Christmas ones with the characters Honey and Pip still to come.

More new peek

Designing beautiful children's illustrations and whimsical imagery is my passion. I studied at the Queensland College of Art, Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia and received a BA in Animation. My current portfolio is mostly hand illustrated with a small but growing line of digital art work. From classic animation cells and cartooning, I have continued to use my illustrative skills in portraiture, graphic imaging, custom illustrations, decorative wall art and children's art instruction.
My developed style is a melding of a Disney-esque charm to an essence of rustic Holly Hobbie sentimentality. Needless to say, these artists have influenced me in a prominent way as I love the nostalgic sense of innocence, whimsy and sweetness that arise from their work. Childhood is so fleeting and I endeavor to tap into that charming, forgotten realm through my fanciful creations.
A principle of mine is to bring joy and a sense of remembrance to individuals and families, young and old, of the essence and timelessness of youth suggested within my pieces. My aim is to eternalize such memories on my canvas and into those young at heart.
I hope you enjoy my whimsical compositions.
Elisabeth.
