Shiny NEW Sesame Street Aquadoodle

Whoo Hoo..Its about time this Sesame Street mat is out and available on market! 
B- is for Buy yours now..as Elmo would say ;)
I've been waiting super patiently for this one to come out on market.  I designed this product approximately 9 months ago- I'm proud of it!  During all the revisions I decided that Abby Cadabby is my favourite Sesame St. character :)  But of course its always about Elmo.   There are secret Elmo's hidden in the drawing surface... scribble away to play hide and seek with him!

Spotted on the Toys R Us site! 
For all you competitive price shoppers- I kindly did your hw.  You save a big shiny 5cents if you get it at Walmart.  Alternatively TRU is offering 15% with free shipping if you spend over a $100 bucks.   
YES YES Y'all need 4 mats.

On the right was was my concept board for this product.  Side note: I added extra finger room tabs on the stencils for y'all kids to doodle perfect squares!

Alright.. now go get yours and scribble away and come back with perfect shapes including hearts for me :)

Mom's Birthday- My UnBirthday!

It's my Mom's Birthday and she made it quite obvious that she wanted a bow accessory to match the one I made for my Dad.  This is what I came up with! A bow ring! She loves hers- and obviously I wanted one too.  Here's the one I made myself- Its MY Happy Unbirthday!
I painted my nails just for this picture...

Pretty Girly Jewellery


So... who's got a little girl I can play dress up with??   Look at all this fun stuff I made with buttons, ribbon and tulle. 


Sometimes I wanna be a little princess! I would love to have pink and purple tulle fabric coming out from every direction  :)



These are probably some designs that showcase the more girly side of me.  Hot pink is actually my favourite colour.  Seriously- ask all my best friends! :)

New Elephant Friends!

Best friends at first sight!! 

In the making...

My 'Service Electro' logo  This elephant is for my special friend Harriet.

Wonderful Colourful Weekend!

I got asked to work on the most Wonderful & Colourful freelance project this week!  It involves all of this and more!!

Marker time...

Sometimes I get nervous using marker because you can never go back once the paper is marked.  I drew a faint outline in pencil first for this one.  but now..i think this sketch looks a little too stiff.  I should of just went for it! Who cares if it looks a imperfect..its art! :)

Did some doodling today....



I have a thing for girls with freckles :)! 

I picked up a pack of 4 colour crayons from a diner on a recent trip to Chicago..who says crayon is for kids only :) ... I'm loving them!  

Colour Blast Bow Ties!

I came up with a great design IDEA today! How would you like to customize your very own bow ties and make numerous variations? 
Colour Blast Bow Tie Kit: 3 big bows, 4 small bows, 1 loop 

Place 2 bows together, slip the loop through...

Ta Da!

Use 2 small bows and get a baby bow tie..


Feeling fancy...layer up 3 


How much fun is this! It makes dressing up so much more delightful.  Im sorry for those indecisive individuals, I've just provided you with many more options ;)

AquaDoodle Buddies

Just want to bring to your attention that my AquaDoodle Buddies are waiting at Toys "R" Us & Walmart patiently for you to come take them home!  You can doodle over, and over, and give them 17 different kinds of moustache or spectacles without making a mess :) 

Spotted at Toys "R" Us!..how cute are they!

Penguin in the making....

Look at their little boots! I had a blast working on this project!

Character overload at the good ol' office! :)  
If you look closely you can see some of the variations in design before we settled on the current one.

AquaDoodle- Travel N Doodle

On a recent trip to my favourite hangout Chapters,  I spotted Aquadoodle- Travel N Doodle! I was on the design team for this brand and product during my time at Spin Master.  It's always exciting to see it on shelf :)
Go get yours!

Sick Day Rino




I got into an accident over the weekend, just taking some time off work to recover.  Look what come out of today's sick day :)!!

I made a Rino! It's a test piece-I put rice in his feet and tail for weight and structure.  Thinking of making some character book ends down the road.
