Gamer Drink, the 1UP!

Introductions!

For those of you following me on Twitter, you probably already know what went down yesterday because I wouldn’t shut up about it. But for those of you that missed it, WE GOT A DOG! Say hello to Sweetpea!

First off, the Guitar Hero scarf is almost done. [...]

Space Invaders Valentine HELP!

Are you ready for another Valentine? I bet you are! Don’t get your hopes up, quite yet, however. I haven’t made this one available for download because I’m STUCK. I’ve been wracking my brain trying to think about what could I say on the inside of the card with this design:

New Fangled Computers

I need to just take a full class on how Adobe Illustrator works. I have been piddling around with it enough to make simple things, but I just cannot get this thing to do what I want it to do! And my design guru of a husband has gone off to work so [...]
