Also, the Etsy store is no longer being used but have no fear! You can still purchase your favorite images HERE!

Lelani & Other Conie Fong Artworks!

HI bloggie friends!

So recently I have teamed up with the very talented Conie Fong and am her new coordinator!

Some of you may know, that Conie's art was once apart of the Sweet Pea Stamps line. Well since they have sadly closed down, Conie has opened her own Etsy store so her images are still available!

We are in the works of finilizing a few things but I'm happy to say that we will soon be looking for Design Team members AND there will be NEW releases! 

Actually, here is one of them now:

This beautiful image is called Lelani and you can find her HERE.


BUT WAIT! 
Head on over to our group page and you can find a 30% discount code, good on your ENTIRE purchase!!

So head on over to our Facebook Group to grab it - but hurry it only lasts for a couple more days!

Not familar with Conie's work? Let me show you a few more images I have colored:

Snowy is an adorable penguin available by itself and in a great combo deal!


This beauty is called Lavender's Blue

This one is called: Bow Tie in my Hair

This is the ever so adorable: Precious!

Thanks for peeking at my blog today! Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Weekend!
