MMedel Illustrations at Outlawz Challenges

This week on Twisted Thursday at Outlawz Challenges it is ANYTHING GOES! Our sponsor this month is:

"Hi there! I've doodled since I can remember (on table cloths, street guides, text books, walls and finally, for my parent's relief, sketchbooks). What I love the most is to create adorable characters for both adults and children and bring them to life. That's why I became an animator and illustrator.

I decided to create a shop to free all the characters that were trapped in my sketchbooks, unfinished. So, I took them, refurbished and sparkling, and share them to the world. They are ready to be adopted and willing to be part of your crafts.

All my illustrations are 100 % handmade by me, scanned from my sketchbooks and finished in Photoshop with my beloved Wacom Cintiq.

I hope you like what you see and come back soon.

Introduction

I’m Angela, the crafty gal behind Taste of Craftiness. I started this blog on February 5th 2010. My paper crafting hobby really began when I found Marty Horn, a veteran who started Anysoldier.com and in his forums I found the Anysoldier Card swaps. The group bought or hand made cards to send to each other to include in care packages we would send overseas to our chosen Anysoldier.com soldiers serving. The card swaps fizzled after almost 10 years going strong. I then joined in paper craft challenges. I have been at Outlawz Challenges since 2011. I am at Outlawz Challenges for the Twisted Thursdays design team. I do love to make all sorts of crafts. If you’re looking for a fun paper or digital card challenge, interested in being a guest designer for our challenges, any crochet patterns for your family or your home, I’ve got you covered! When there’s not a paper cutter or crochet hook in my hand, you can find me painting, reading, or snuggling with my two cats or playing with my two fluffy Pomeranians.
