Whimsy Stamps - Flower Fairy

Howdy -

Today a little Fairy Fun... the new Whimsy Stamps image by Marina Fedotova"Flower Fairy". 

I colored with my Copics (colors below) matching up with papers from First Edition Spring Drop collection. I sewed down the layers and added some bling with Rangers Stickles. Fairy's must have bling right?  Three buttons in the corner and then for the sentiment I used Whimsy Stamps die cut "Heartfelt".

A close up of that bling...

High Hopes Stamps - Bessie Boo

Howdy -

Ever have one of those weeks where life just would be nice to stay in PJ's with your hair in rollers and those comfortable cushy house shoes. Mine are on right now!

This is "Bessie Boo" and I think she is just precious.

I colored with my Copics (colors below) and paper pieced the outfit with the papers from First Editions Spring Drop collection to match the card. I found my thread and sewed down my layers of pattern papers on a white card stock base. Three dots of Viva Decor Paint Pen Green for some embellishment to finish it off. I love this image and decided to leave her as the main focus.

Animal Crackers - A little old age...

Howdy -

Cold weather is a really big issue lately everywhere.... in Texas we get fronts that blow through and then leave. But recently cold has hung around. And for those that are a bit "older" that really makes our joints not want to move and work well. And yes... I am adding myself into that statement. But our concern this week has been Annie. Poor thing has really had some achy knees and issues getting up and down.

A little extra Minerals and Vitamins, a heat lamp at night and a private place to be and she is doing a bit better, and the little warmer weather isn't hurting either! It is really a pain to get old and move around in the cold isn't it?

Was doing a bit of laundry yesterday, I know better but was under the weather and not thinking... I washed a load of our black tablecloths for our upcoming antique show... and now they have cat hair on them.... sigh.

I really do know better... she loves the warm laundry. Oh well I couldn't disturb her could I? gunna have to dig out that lint brush I suppose.

Found this photo I took of Moxie.. and it just cracked me up. Are those ears or what?

 Such a wonderful girl. Love her so much!

 I wanted to share a photo I snapped with my phone this last week. We were leaving the house and found this guy on the top of our neighbors gate.

I just love seeing these beautiful hawks... aren't they just gorgeous!

I wanted to show off a present we got for Christmas from a dear friend Leah - she made this for us!1

Love my Donkey Stain Glass piece! It hangs proudly in our dining room window where you can see it as soon as you come up on our porch! I adore it!! Thanks you so much Leah!! FABULOUS!

Sorry not any really new photos this week, I have been a bit under the weather the past few days and honestly.... with the holidays and the days off and such... well I lost track of the days. Duh... It has been a rough week what can I say? New year I will try and keep up with the days better...

Hope you have had a good week, and did get a smile this week.
Have a blessed weekend and thanks so much for visiting!

Whimsy Stamps - Penguin's Cute Chick

Howdy -

2nd post today! Whimsy Stamps is still showing off the new January Release images and for my card I got to play with "Penguins Cute Chicks"  from Crissy Armstrong.

 How can you not fall for a Penguin with three cute little chicks! I colored with my Copics, colors below, and then cut out with my Nestie. The papers I used were from Paper Studios and sewed down the layers with a zig zag stitch. Some older Corner dies, and then one of newer favorites dies from Whimsy "Leaf Foliage 2 Dies" You must go see these and put them in your next cart! I promise you will LOVE them! Then three mulberry flowers to top it off.

High Hopes Stamps - Lg. Puff Kitty

Howdy -

I am having so much fun playing with some older favorite High Hopes Stamps! This is Lg. Puff Kitty... so adorable! 

Just love this little kitty! I colored with my Copics,  colors below,  and then found some papers from My Minds Eye with some beige card stock. Love this paper it has all kinds of glitter on it. I used the sentiment "Lg. Script Thank You!" then 3 vintage buttons to finish it off. Almost made me twitch to not sew on this card... but oh my... I ran out of thread!! I know I have a new one here somewhere... I guess it is time to clean off the desk... and the shelves... sigh. I would rather color and craft!

Here are the Copic colors -

Make sure to pop over to the High Hopes Stamps Web site HERE.... I promise you will find LOTS to fall in love with!

Whimsy Stamps - New Release - Best Buds

Howdy - Second Post today! Above is the new High Hopes Stamps post and now my Whimsy Stamps post!

 I just ADORE this image from Whimsy Stamps - Best Buds from Crissy Armstrong Collection!

You know me and country feeling images! And how can you not fall in love with a little cowboy and his dog? I colored with my Copics (colors below) and then found some country patriotic feeling paper from Rusty Pickles... it was really really deep in my stash for sure! I matched it up with kraft card stock and a piece of red card stock and sewed down the layers. A couple of Whimsy  Dies from the "Smiles Happy Celebrate" set of dies for a sentiment. And then three Whimsy Enamel Dots in the top corner to finish it off. Can you be addicted to Enamel Dots? I think I am :0)

I hope you have a very Happy New Years Day -

Happy New Year!!! And with a new year a new month there is a new challenge at the High Hopes Stamps blog HERE. And for this challenge it is an anything goes... for me I found the image "Birthday Quick Card" stamp. An older stamp that is perfect for those cards you need quick. 

Love this image - can make it girlie or for that guy in your life. I colored up to match my scraps of pattern paper. Copic colors used below - then I sewed down all the layers with zig zag and straight stitch. Then for just a quick little embellishment I added some dot of Snow paint.
