Today’s look is all about a cute teddy bear loving its child and protecting her at night from all the monsters. Creative Shop always has such amazing quality etched images on their plates. They go all the way from adorable to very naughty and buying from them is supporting a Read More
Today’s look just didn’t want to come together in my head. The prompt was Dead the Halls and I had plenty of ideas that I could paint for it, but nothing really stood out to me. My sticking point was that I had this monster Christmas wreath image I wanted Read More
