Paparazzi Princesses- Ariel

Over the weekend during the football game I got suckered into coloring Disney Princesses with a 6 year old.  I'm not going to lie, I loved it.  A friend of mine started joking while she colored Belle, "You should draw up these princesses without makeup!"

Thank you for the awesome idea Ashlee! She creates the most beautiful natural light photography, please take a minute to have a look at her work! Her website - Sincere Snapshots - click to link



Ok back to the Princesses!  I had 4 hours to stall today so I decided to get started.
I decided to call this series Paparazzi Princesses- Disney Princesses Without Makeup. 

I absolutely LOVE Disney, and I figured I would start off with my favorite Princess Ariel!

Each Princess' "glamor" photo will be as we are used to seeing them, flowing hair, perfect makeup, and a smile of glowing royalty. 

Their "paparazzi" snagged photo will be of them being caught in the act of being normal women doing normal things.  Like in Ariel's case ... getting coffee.

I can imagine these photos being in "PEOPLE of the Happiest Place on Earth" magazine.
"Ariel was seen coming out of Starfish Coffee on her way to film a scene in her new movie Love's Undercurrent, coming summer 2014.

I'm going to try and be productive and do one princess a week.  Tune in next week for Cinderella!

Disney Cards & More!

It's time to get the ball rolling on this blog!  I've been busy making cards, some with 3-D aspects, some just good 'ol fashioned digital painting (haha).  Figured it was time to share them!

This first card was for a baby shower/garden tea party.  All she asked for was for it to be filled with different shades of pink!  So I thought I would give it an "Alice in Wonderland" kind of feel yet keep it doused in pink.  So it became a Happy Unbirthday for their soon to be expected baby girl, equipped with all the tea pots and tea time amenities you'll ever need!

Here is the actual card minus their personal info!

Next up ... another baby shower card!  For this baby boy's card I wanted to give his family a piece of my favorite scene in Disney's "Dumbo". 

 

This image is actually 3 separate layers, the back circle, dumbo/tub, and bubbles.  He also has clear reflective water droplets on his cheeks but they aren't showing up in these photos.

And a lil closer ...

I absolutely love this card . . . I think I might make it again just so I can have one!

And yet ANOTHER baby shower card!  This time for a baby girl in October, so I decided to give her family a blustery day with Disney's "Winnie the Pooh".  The leaves on this card are separately attached to give it some dimension.

And now for a card that ISN'T for a baby shower, but a WEDDING!  I wanted to give them a lil romantic card so I put them on a swing, perched like two little love birds

~~~~~~~~~~

And last but not least... a Birthday card!  I always want Birthday cards to be light and whimsical, so why not a sea horse blowing out the candle on his bubble cake!

Now to get to work on some new stuff...  I'm thinking about a couple little paintings of my Adventures in Domestic Life!  Cause so far it has been hilarious to say the least ...

Til next post... Happy Thanksgiving!

Save the Date Mugshot-

So I'm designing our "Save The Date" cards and first came up with this ...

Then decided why be conventional?  So I came up with this!

I'm likin this idea better!
