Happy Halloween Cupcake Toppers

Happy October everyone!  Time for a spooooky and fun Halloween post!  This month we've made cupcake toppers and they're free to download for personal use.  Simply print them onto card stock, carefully cut out each topper and tape a toothpick or cocktail stick to the back and stick the topper into a yummy cupcake.  Be sure to send us pictures of your creations :)

And we're very pleased to have a special guest illustrator with us this month, the very talented Tamara Henderson!  She has also designed the brilliant banner for October.  Be sure to visit her fab blog.

Have a creative October and a happy Halloween!

Circus Fun!

Hello lovelies! Summer is officially here and we hope you're having a blast! This month we all decided on a fun, colorful circus-themed post to head up the summer. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the WLTI circus performance hehe! :)

We'd also like to welcome back our new mommy, Bee Strong, to this month's post. We missed you and glad to have you back! :)

And last but not least, incase you haven't heard, We Love To Illustrate is now on Blog of Note. Too cool! We are all extremely excited and feel honored to have been chosen. Thank you Blogger Team!

Have a wonderful month!

**FREE Summer desktop calendar downloads!

Hello June! We have a lot to celebrate this month! The 1st big thing is the arrival of Elora Jayne Strong, born on May 21st, to We Love to Illustrate member, Bee Strong! Congrats to Bee and her husband Marty on the birth of their beautiful baby girl. Bee has her hands full right now with the new baby, so she won't be participating in this month's post, but don't worry, she'll be back in July.

The 2nd big thing is - it's our 1st year anniversary this month! Whooo-hooo! Yep, it's been one year since we started our blog and we want to celebrate with a FREE download of summer themed desktop calendar wallpapers. We all created something summery to liven up your computers for the month of June. Some calendars even go through August, if you're like me and don't get around to changing it as often as every month.

Just choose the design you like, right click on the link for the size monitor that you have and choose Set as Desktop Background, to download it to your desktop. Every browser has a slightly different version of how to do this, so yours might not work exactly like this.

Enjoy and Happy Summer!
