99cent Apple

Arthur Apple papercraft project! He's now only $0.99 cents in my shop.

I've been influenced by the fun of buying great apps on my iphone lately that I thought to myself "Why don't I make something at 99 cents?".

I'm hoping the discount down from $3 will help to get Arthur into more hands. He is very photogenic once made, takes pride in making your home cute as home decor and is generally just a fun little paper craft project to do!

Get him now for only 99 cents!

Sneak Peek!

Here's a sneak peek of my newest illustration for Frankie magazine. You'll have to pick up their next issue to see the full thing!<3

Birthday bash!

Life Stylist and Photographer Alejandra Sarmiento recently celebrated her son's birthday using my papercraft TOUGHIE cameras, Girlie Pains garland and pieces from the Birthday Kit.


She was even kind enough to take some cute photos for me!

I loved that she stuffed all that cool swag into the cameras like party favor boxes. What lucky kids!

Thanks Alejandra! <3

Bunny, Bear & Kitten garland

Yes I know what you're thinking.. "another garland, Mel? really?".
Well hold your horses because this one is cute! It's based on three of my plushies Walter Bear, Boun Bunny and Vera Kitten. And if you click this link right here you can see more pics and even buy it if you want!

In other news, I'm on Pinterest! But I am very annoyed at the 'Melanie' that took the name 'melstringer'. Grr. So it's girliepains instead. Follow me! Pinterest.com/girliepains
