Thanks for UStreaming with Jackie!
Many thanks to those of you who could join me for my first JackieDraws UStream! Unfortunately, the recording software I use only recorded 10 minutes of my two hour digital painting adventure (sigh), but I can at least show you the finished product!
My small press/artist collective, Lovesick Robot Studios needs a new logo/mascot and logotype rather badly, and I think this little guy fits the bill perfectly. I'm strongly considering offering this painterly style in the Design Builder store, but it's rather labor intensive and time consuming… if you'd like a custom illustration or logo done in this style, please feel free to email me expressing your interest!
Next scheduled show for JackieDraws is for Tuesday, March 23rd at 7PM Central. If you have a suggestion for something you'd like me to paint or draw, just leave a comment and I'll consider it! 
Happy St. Patrick’s day!
Well, I was trying to decide which finished blog to post today, St. Patrick's day. I only have one finished blog that has green in it that I didn't post yet, but it is a tropical style blog… quite unsuitable for St. Patty's day.
So I suppose I'll feature the closest I can get to Ireland…. which geographically would be the UK in terms of Stampin' Up! lol
So I hope the UK demos forgive me for posting their blogs on St. Patrick's day.

Classy black and red design for Peg in the UK!
Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Peg Coombes in lovely Worcestershire, UK has a classy new blog design in sophisticated black and grey with red as an accent color. I love this look. The gray background makes her imagees "pop".
Please visit Peg here and say hello!

Collage art banner for Rachel Brumley!
One of my all time favorite styles of blog banners (and rubber stamp art) is collage. I love putting a shabby collection of images together in an appealing composition. It's lots of fun! Rachel asked for a shabby chic banner in pinks, saffron, olive and perfect plum.
I just sort of pulled a bunch of images I had and started playing with composition. When I started her banner, I had no real idea how it would end up looking… in fact, when I sent Rachel her banner draft I told her to feel free to let me know if she wants me to start over with a different design because I wasn't sure it was suitable for her. But she said she likes it. cool! Collage art is my favorite style. It's just so fun to create collages!!!!
Here is Rachel's blog if you'd like to take a look!
