Whimsy Stamps - Love Ewe!

Howdy -

Another new image that I just adore from Whimsy Stamps!! This is "Love Ewe!" by Krista Heij-Barber. Adorable right?

I colored with my Copics (colors below). The image is so cute I wanted to keep the card simple. I used a piece of Paper Studio papers along with White and Black card stock that I sewed down the layers. Then a few small dots Viva Decor Black Pearl Pen in the corners. .... Love this one!

High Hopes Stamps - Bubbles

Howdy -

Have you gone to see all the new Darling Divas at High Hopes Stamps? You must! Today I did a little coloring with "Bubbles"

Isn't she pretty? Enjoying luxury! I colored with my Copics (colors below) and of course for all those bubbles we needed lots of Rangers Diamond Stickles! I matched up with some papers from Paper Studio with white and dark pink card stock that are all sewed together with a zig zag stitch. The sentiment is a Whimsy Digital and then mulberry roses and a Martha Stewart large leaf punch.

Whimsy Stamps Digital Release - Gertie

Howdy -

New Month and that means lots of new images to play with! There is a new Whimsy Stamps Digital Release and this month there are a couple of all time favorites! I fell in love with Gertie once before and was so thrilled to have her back.

Thought I would show off my card with Crissy Armstrong's Gertie from a while back.

Isn't she just too fabulous?? I colored her with my Copic. Yes colored boldly! And added her to some DCWV papers that are sewn down with lots of mats. A satin ribbon and a die cut sentiment of "What's Up?". Then Gertie needed just a bit more fun... so I colored a second image (just her face) then pop dotted it over the main image and then added some dimensional glaze to her eyes so they would pop.. and some pearl adhesive dots for bubbles.

She is so much fun! Make sure to click over to the Whimsy Stamps site and see all the digital fun! HERE

High Hopes Stamps - New Release! Apple

Howdy -

There is a new release today at High Hopes Stamps! A bunch of really sweet girls to color up! I started out with the very pretty "Apple"

While scanning some of my pattern papers I ran across this piece from Paper Studio's Mixed Kitchen collection. I think that is the name... lost the cover sheet. Seemed to perfect with those apples in the corner. So my theme went black white and red with the pattern paper and I colored with my Copic Markers. Then cut out with an oval Spellbinders Nestie. Matted with another Spellbinders die.

All my layers down with a zig zag stitch, and then used a Whimsy Stamps Die cut "hello" for my sentiment. Three dots of Viva Decor Black pearl pen.

Animal Crackers - Here Chickie...

Howdy -

I can't believe how big the chicks are! Almost full grown ladies now. Ok we are a few months from egg layers, but they are such pretty young ladies! They are loving their new outdoor pen. Of course they have not encountered rain yet... or cold weather.... or really hot weather... but they will get use to it all.

These girls are beginning to figure out me and my camera coming at them. Can't you see the look in her eye... Uh Oh... here she comes again!

Then she started strutting a little runway walk for me.

Such a pretty lady...

I found one of the little reds checking out their new hut.

Can't you see her thinking.. Nice new house, can we get a tv, maybe a feather bed and air now? 

Now this older chicken was more interested in a bath. A Dirt Bath!

They all do it.. Chickens, Goats, Donkeys... that cool loose dirt just makes you feel so good! Not! But I guess it is good for them. This lady had the dirt really flying! LOL

Thought I would show off one of Hubby's favorite ladies...

He loves his Guineas. We only have two of the original three, but they seem to be healthy and going strong. They rule the goat pen and have control over all goats, except for the oldest, Paintbrush. They seem to respect her and never peck or chase her. They may not be gorgeous, but they are smart!

And it looks like we have some new temporary birdies....

 This is a wood carving hanging on my back porch, and it seems that a wren has made herself a large nest with that "wood" wood duck to protect it. Can't wait to see if there are babies in there but for now we are giving Momma a little privacy.  Will try and sneak a shot in the coming weeks now and then.

Hope you enjoyed my birdies this week. A little cold front is coming today.. whew. Was in the 90's here yesterday! I am so not ready for summer to hit. Liking our spring this year and would love for it to stick around a bit longer!

Thanks so much for joining me today - Hope you got a smile!

Whimsy Stamps - Penguin Birthday

Howdy -

Just lovin' Whimsy Stamps Crissy Armstrongs Penguins!!! Today I am using Penguin Birthday.

Adorable image for any birthday card!

Sweet image right? I colored with my Copics and found some PERFECT papers from Whimsy Stamps "It's A Party" 6x6 paper pad. I sewed to a purple mat on a light pink card stock base. Then for my sentiment I used the Whimsy Word Die Sets. "Birthday, Wishes and Magical" and "Smiles, Happy and Celebrate" I dotted the "i" in birthday with a Whimsy Stamps Enamel Dot. LOVE these!
