Template Tuesday - Circus Bear

I'm super excited about this little guy. He's a dancing bear. Sometimes the squirrel likes to join him. I think, once a month, for template tuesday I'll try to do a circus themed one this year. I love the circus.

Here's what the template will look like. If you don't want the squirrel on his nose, you can just not cut out the squirrel. It's that simple!

Molly Bosley

I saw Molly Bosley's work the other day on Paper Crave and I was so jealous! Dang it, I need to up my game! Go check out her beautiful paper cuts.

Salt Lake Art Center

Today I did something very exciting. I went to the Salt Lake Art Center and dropped of these four pieces for them to sell in their gift shop. I kind of hate handing over art knowing that there's a possibility that I may never see it again. Particularly this first Alice piece. I love pretty much everything about it. If you live around Salt Lake and are downtown, go check them out! There will be prints there for sale as well.

Template Tuesday - Kitties

I was mapping out a plan for the year of what I should do for Template Tuesdays and I realized that I had kind of neglected the birthday area. My mom's birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I wanted to make something for her that I could put on a card. I don't know if this is exactly what I would give her since she isn't much of a cat person, maybe a bird person, so maybe I'll do another birthday one. But I thought there might be a few cat lovers amongst you, so I did this little kitty scene which could also double as something one might put on a card.

Here's what the template will looks like. It's a pretty simple one. Enjoy!

Template Tuesday - Jonah

So, a little while ago, I was sitting in Sunday School and we were talking about Jonah and all I can do when I hear about Jonah is think of the song from my mission that some Pentecostals sang at a party once. It's stuck in my head and will forever be there, I think. It goes something like this:

Talkin' 'bout Daniel in the den of the lion
Jonah in the belly of the whale
Talkin' 'bout three Hebrew children in the furnace
And the fire didn't burn them.

Dang, I love that song. I found all the lyrics online a little while ago and it pleased me. So, here's my Jonah sketch from when I wasn't paying attention in class.

This is what the template would look like:

Template Tuesday - Rapunzel

The other day, my roommate Kim and I went to see Disney's newest princess movie, Tangled. I enjoyed it. It was really pretty and very full of zippy adventure, romance and animal friends. Although I couldn't help but sneer my lip a little. I love the original. I love the poor man stealing vegetables from the witch's garden. I love that Rapunzel lets it slip to the witch that she's being visited by the prince by remarking how much lighter he was. I love how she gets knocked up and bears twins in the wilderness. I didn't realize that they were fooling around up in that tower until I was much older. It was like watching Grease when I get the innuendo. So, I thought I'd do a little Rapunzel cut in honor of the new and the old.

Here's what the template will look like:
