Celebrating Torico Blog Hop

     If you've hung around here for any time at all you know that I adore the amazing images drawn by Torico.  I am so blessed to be able to work with her stamps through TSG, but I also love her digital images sold through her Birdie Brown etsy store.  Sadly Torico has decided to close her etsy store at the end of November so if you want any of those great digis you better grab em before then.  You can find the Birdie Brown blog here (there are some freebies there) and the announcement she made about the store closing with all the details here.

     The lovely Lesley Croghan has organized this blog hop of Torico's friends to celebrate her by creating some projects using our favorite Birdie Brown images. 

     If you came here from the super sweet Vera of Ling's Design Studio, you're on the right track.  If not you can go back to the beginning of the hop that starts with Lesley.

     For my card I chose to work with these adorable "Winter Bears".  I just love their faces and matching outfits.  All Torico's images have such wonderful character to them and it doesn't hurt that they are SUPER fun to color!  

     I found an awesome video tutorial on coloring white done by Sandy Allnock.  It really helped me create my winter scene.

     I sure hope you can find the time to visit all the participants cause I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.

     Next up is my awesome boss at There She Goes, Jessica Knutsen.  Have fun hopping and celebrating our truly talented friend!
