High Hopes Stamps = Leo Meets Lana

Howdy -

This new High Hopes Stamps "Live Love Laugh" release is just so adorable! Can't wait to color each one of them! This week I am having fun with two cute turtles - "Leo Meets Lana"


Are they not just too sweet? I colored with my Copics (colors below) I went with pink and greens - just love that combo. A white card stock base with green card stock for the mats. A piece of My Minds Eye Baby Girl papers. I punched out a tag and used the sentiment "Me & You". Now I dug deep into the stash and pulled out some jewelry spacers with heart shaped brads for embellishments. Been a LONG time since I used them.

Inside the card same papers.


Copic colors used -



Love this collection so much... Visit the Store HERE and see all of the sweetness!

Have a wonderfully blessed day!

Another great release today! Whimsy Stamps Digital Release! And today I just HAD to color up the the Crissy Armstrong image "Am I Forgiven"


Seriously adorable isn't he? I colored with my Copics and then found papers from Paper Studio's Theodosia Square collection. Then sewed down the layers with my sewing machine. A pretty ribbon and some Viva Decor Black Pearl Pen for embellishment. And a little lace with the Whimsy Stamps Shapeology "Doodled Doily die". And that wonderful new sentiment from the Cats and Dog Sentiment collection!

Animal Crackers - First week of 2016 Smiles

Howdy -

First week of the year has been just as busy and nuts as the last year... normal. But a little time out with my "children" makes everything wonderful.

Starting with my baby boy Autie.


 My little love. He is a dirty mess here, but still adorable.

Chicken time... This lady was perched on her pole. Isn't she a beauty...


We are very proud of our "girls".. the egg production has been way up!! We have change food last month and from what we are seeing we are liking the results.

Now the new food must be good cuz we need to spill it out everywhere and enjoy it to the fullest!


 How funny... and I just love those fuzzy rear ends!

Now this is what we call modern goat dating....


Head butting with a fence!! Now how romantic is that?

Rico was trying hard to get attention.. now how can you not adore that face.



This is such a calm sweet man. Well unless he "accidentally" gets out of his pen and finds freedom... then he runs, bucks and kicks with glee... and it isn't easy to get him to understand he is safer in his pen. LOL

And here is Daisy and her adult kids Jackie and Liz chillin' in the sun.



Still a sweet trio.. Momma and her girls.

I hope you enjoyed this week again.... Big Hugs from all my kids and me!

Whimsy Stamps - My Significant Otter

Howdy -

Now tell me this Whimsy Stamp is not a perfect image for your sweetheart? An anniversary, a Valentine or just a great I Love You card!

"My Significant Otter"


"There is No Otter One for Me" ... how adorable! I colored up the sweet Otter with my Copics and then cut it out. Now to be honest I cut out about four different pattern papers from the Paper Studios collection, then it just didn't feel right... I finally after some major rearranging that this one just needed to be a simple layout. This otter just wanted one pattern to work with. I sewed down the paper on to a purple core'dinations card stock then it all onto a white card stock base. The sentiment comes with this Otter.. actually there are quite a few sentiments with the set!

Inside one of those patterns I cut out to match -


Copic colors used -


I hope you enjoyed my Otter card - and made you grin. Make sure to visit the Whimsy Stamps Store and see all the images available! There is a BIG SALE going on!... So Hurry!

Have a blessed day -
