Victoria Case Blog Candy

Victoria has a new release coming up at SCACD on the 28th and she is offering some awesome candy over at her blog.  One lucky winner will receive the entire release!  I am so crossing my fingers for this one as I just love Victoria's images and artwork (if you ever want a custom drawing, I DEFINITELY recommend checking her site out!).

Custom Portrait drawn by Victoria Case

I know it's way too early to be thinking about Father's Day but I had to get a start on it since I wasn't sure how long it would take.  I wanted to give Brian something that he wouldn't ever expect and of course he has no clue who Victoria Case is so I knew I was on the right track LOL  I contacted Victoria on Wednesday about drawing up a sketch of Abby and what you see is the final copy that will be mailed out today/tomorrow.

I am amazed at how much it does look like Abby and how it captured her personality (and chubby checks) perfectly.  Brian is a huge Philadelphia Eagles Fan so when Victoria said she put Abby in the Eagles shirt, I knew Brian would LOVE it!

I of course can't keep a secret so I showed Brian today and he is VERY excited to get it this week.

Who doesn't love a cowboy....

especially when he looks like this? ;)  This image is from Victoria Case and can be found here.  I just love her images and how vesitle they are.  I'm actually having her draw up a picture of Abby to give to Brian for Father's Day, the sketches I've seen so far are awesome and I can't wait to see the finished product.

Do you love Victoria Case images???

Then come join me in this brand new yahoo where we can all get together and share our creations using her stamps/images and just have some fun.   Make sure you pass this along to your friends :)
