The Hunt for Cute Creatures

These common monsters are all around us. Have they been of help to you today?

After a busy weekend of Valentine’s Day on Saturday and playing board games on Sunday, I almost forgot about my weekly Monster Parade post! Monster Parade was started back in November 2008 as a means of displaying some of my random creature sketches that get turned into vectors.

Without further delay here is Nema, who didn’t have a very good weekend and is currently feeling unloved.

Roses are red, Violets are blue,
Oh it’s this time of year again, What did you all do?

I spent this morning making cupcakes. I’m quite pleased how they turned out. It’s been ages since I’ve made buttercream.

Hope you all have a happy Valentine’s Day!

Here is my first contribution to Inspire Me Thursday.
This week’s theme is Fold.

Here are some heart shaped boxes for V-Day next Saturday. Admittedly they are cut and fold (no glue though!).

I felt I was cheating somehow by introducing the cutting aspect. So I decided to revisit and retry making some of the origami things I used to fold years ago.

I hope the photos look okay to you folks. I always feel that artificial lighting makes things more prone to being blurry -_-…

With V-Day being less than a week away – what will you be giving? What will you get?

Here are some V-Day related images I made recently, some of which I’ve entered into Tigerprint’s online card competition.

After all the red and pink hearts I decided that other colours of hearts should exist too!

I also stumbled across this rather amusing article on Guidespot which outlines 15 Ways to Ruin Valentine’s Day. It makes a good reminder of the things one should try to avoid!

Now dont forget: Valentine’s Day is next Saturday, 14th February

All this sudden snow in Britain…

Just makes me want to eat more and wish for brighter days…

After yet another failed diet attempt Droolzilla finds herself in a chocolate and cream cafe. She proceeds to ignores the curious and dismayed glances of fellow customers as she tucks into yet another high calorie snack!
