Meet Mia!

Thankyou for all your lovely Facebook likes, tweets and comments on the design I posted yesterday! I couldn’t resist staying up until the early hours (again!!! what is happening to me?!!!) to play around with some more ideas.

I am just so excited by this collection and after playing last night, a second collection has now evolved! As promised, above is the second design in the collection.

Here are the two designs I have shown you from this collection as iPhone cases and stationary cards, they are available to buy over at Society6.com/ClaireSmillie

Don’t you just love the direction of this collection?

So many creative possibility’s πŸ™‚

I have other design’s from this collection ready for you, but for now I gotta love ya and leave ya…although if you join me on Facebook or Twitter I *may* just give you guys a sneaky peak later today!

Roll on September

Feeling SO inspired and motivated right now, I can see GOOD things are going to happen in September…it’s going to be the absolute BEST month!

Last night, I didn’t go to bed until nearly 3am…I didn’t need to…heck I didn’t want to! I was too excited for the ideas that have been whirling round my head…trying to put steps in motion to make them happen πŸ™‚

Can.not.wait

and the answer….

Stamped iPhone Case


Fly

For me, the freedom that the imagery of birds represent totally calls out to me….so much so, I am *really* tempted to get a bird tattoo on my wrist like Sienna Miller.

Anyhow, daydreams of tattoos aside, I am still on that roll and I am seriously kicking butt this week putting every ounce of energyΒ  I have into some (hopefully) rocking designs. Here is another new design from yesterday, which is now on Society 6.

Styled Hawaiian

I’m on a roll right now and have just uploaded another design to Society6 this morning! I am actually in love with this summery design and already have my iphone case on order!!

Can.not.wait for it to arrive.

Anyone that knows me, knows I’m a bit of a sucker for stationary and so I am really tempted to chuck these notecards of the same design into my basket too…after all they are only $20 for 10.

Love weekends full of creating beautiful designs….Happy days πŸ™‚

Wonder what tomorrows post will bring?!


Doily full o’flowers

I have just added a new design over on the wonderful ‘Society6‘ which can be brought right nowΒ as an iphone/ipad/laptop case, stationary cards and art print.

I LOVE uploading new designs and seeing them as actual products!

They always look so purposeful and different from been just a pretty pattern.


London Love

I have a little love for that place named London! And with all the celebrations upcoming this year, it was time to do a little surface pattern design on my favorite place. Hope you like πŸ™‚

Soar

Another surface pattern design, Soar, created by me! Love how the iphone case turned out for this one…

Ohhh and those Dotty crowns, look how they turned into Stationary Cards!

Totally LOVE! I’m having so much fun creating all these designs at the moment…although my other artsy addictions are suffering slightly *but* I sooo just received Suzi Blu’s new book in the post from Amazon and it looks really good! Can’t wait to try out some of the ideas.


Dotty Crowns

A fun Surface Pattern Designed by Claire Smillie (www.clairesmillie.com)

Last Wednesday, we had a special visitor to our little town in the heart of the country! Someone I don’t think who has visited here within my lifetime (well not that I can remember anyway!)

The kids were given the morning off school……the streets were lined with people waving flags and a HUGE event was organised in the local national park for the children. The kids absolutly loved it….certainly not your ordinary Wednesday!

Three Generations…Obie, Great Grandad, Roxie and Auntie Sammi awaiting the special arrival


PinLight Flowers

Thankyou so much to everyone that visit and participated in the bloghop this weekend, it was great to see you all! Come back later today, when I will be posting the winner of the PanPastels πŸ™‚

For now, here is a new design called PinLight Flowers, inspired by my previous design Daffodil Flowers.

This design can be brought from Society6 as an iphone/ipod/ipad/laptop cases, stationary cards, art prints (framed/unframed)
