 Now here is a some information about Miranda!


My name is Miranda van den Bosch and I’m 47 years old. I have been drawing nearly all my life. At the age of 4 I was making drawings on a blackboard, but because my parents thought it was a pity that I had to erase all my drawings they got me paper and colour pencils. And I’ve never stopped drawing since. When I was little I used to draw portraits and Disney characters. After that I started to draw fairies and dragons. In time, I joined an art group and learned to draw nudes and still life portraits too. When I was in my 30ties I became interested in birds and started to draw them as well. And last year I published my first children’s book. It’s an ABC of birds and 26 birds tell you about birdlife in general. A good friend of mine wrote the text. About 2 years ago, I discovered card making and how I could use stamps with my colouring technique and style. I really enjoy colouring up all the cute images with watercolour or with regular colour pencils. Every week I discover new brands of stamps and I just decided to draw some digi stamps to see if other people liked them. A new world of being creative is opening up for me.


As always thanks for stopping by, if you have any questions feel free to leave us a message with a way to contact you (email or blog address)!
Have a wonderfully creative two weeks!

We would LOVE to see all types of creations, whether it is a Card, Scrapbook Page, Fat Book Page, Tag, ATC (Artist Trading Card), Box, Bag, 3D ~ Altered Art, or Other Crafting Projects that has some form of paper on it!

All of our Design Team's inspiration is listed above, along with Inlinkz. This challenge will run until Monday, April 30, 2012 at 6pm CST. And for an added bonus, we will be looking for some works of art to Spotlight!

Our Sponsor for this challenge is Tiffany Doodles, Tiffany (Owner) has so graciously offered 3 images from her online store! Isn't that an awesome prize for one lucky person? We hope that you like our creations! 

 Original Digital Stamps

Tiffany has some blog candy to give away, you can find it here! And she has an awesome special running for the month of April! Be sure to hop over and check them out!



Here is a little bit about Tiffany and Tiffany Doodles ...
Hi! I'm Tiffany, owner of TiffanyDoodles. My background is web design, graphic design & photography. I have been self employed for nine years and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my work! Since childhood, I've always been creative and taken great pleasure in drawing and painting. In 2009, I discovered the stamping and paper crafting world and just fell in love!! In a very short order, I began transforming some of my drawings and doodles into "digis". It has truly been a joy to share them with folks. I get so thrilled every time I see something new that someone has created with one of my stamps!! Each design is like a child of mine and it's really neat to see it all grown up and out in the world being all it can be... LOL!

All of my digital stamps are originally created by me and of the multiple styles I offer, most are hand-drawn images. Some are brushed up in Photoshop using the pen tool to produce very clean lines and others are left with a sketchy, rustic, hand-drawn look. An additional digi-style is one that I've dubbed as PhotoSketches and these are images from my photographs which I transformed into sketches with a little help from Photoshop. These beauties make splendid realistic images for stamping!

One of the ways that I wish to say "thank you" to all of the folks that follow Tiffany Doodles is by offering a brand new Freebie every Thursday. I've received a hefty response from this, which has encouraged me to continue creating even more!! I hope you find something you like here!

Sponsorship Requirements…
Tiffany Doodles has been proud to sponsor many challenges since we started in May of 2010. I'm looking to fill our sponsorship calendar for 2011/2012 and welcome your challenge site to inquire with me! I have some time left for the remainder of this year if you need to fill a sponsorship spot.

Some past sponsorships include:
If you would like Tiffany Doodles to sponsor your challenge, just send me an email along with the following info: 

  • your blog link
  • your name
  • how many prizes (1st, 2nd, 3rd place, etc.)
  • start & end date of the event you want me to sponsor; length of challenge
  • where I can find your logo/blinkie
Special Note: If your Design Team wants to use my digital stamps *exclusively for the event, each member will receive 1 digi of their choice to use as the main focus of the card or project. I have a certain amount of these spots allocated for the year.  Please inquire soon as these spots fill up quickly.

In exchange for the complimentary use of my digital stamps I kindly ask that each of your team members post their project in the 
Tiffany Doodles Flickr Gallery!  If your DT members do not have a Flickr account or are unable to post their project I can post the project for them with their link back. This is the best way to showcase cards made with my digital stamps in my online portfolio!

*Exclusively means that my digital stamp must be the main focus of the project.  It also means that if one of your team members uses a stamp from me then all of your team members must use one.  You must also state in your post that the Design Team is featuring all digital stamps by Tiffany Doodles.


As always thanks for stopping by, if you have any questions feel free to leave us a message with a way to contact you (email or blog address)!
