Whimsy Digital Stamps New Release - Penguin Bubble Bath

Howdy -

Another new release Digital stamp from Whimsy Stamps and artist Crissy Armstrong - Penguin Bubble Bath.


Now is that the life or what!??! I printed my digital image on or with my Pattern paper from Whimsy Stamps new Digital Wonky Circles collection

Love the flat one page image - I colored with my Copics and then added LOTS and LOTS  of Ranger Stickles Bling for those bubbles.

For the sentiment I went with another of Whimsy stamps Word Dies "celebrate"

Whimsy Stamps Digital - August Release - Pups in a Basket

Howdy -

We have a new release at Whimsy Stamps! And for my card today I used the brand new Digital Stamp by Crissy Armstrong "Pups in a Basket"


Aren't they cuties? I printed my image on a Digital piece of paper from Whimsy Stamps collection Christmas Cool Mix Papers.  Love the one piece thing.. All flat! I colored the doggies and their basket with my copics (colors below) and then added it to a red piece of paper I highlighted with a dark red copic on the corners. Then a Black card stock card base. My sentiment is from the Whimsy Word Dies   and then some Enamel Dots in the corner.

Copic colors used -

Puppies make me smile don't the you?

Hope you enjoyed!

High Hopes Stamps - Harvest Harry & Cawnie and Cawrls

Howdy -

 Playing with some of my favorite Fall stamps this month from High Hopes Stamps - Couldn't narrow down to one.. so two came out to play - :0)

Harvest Harry and Cawnie and Cawrls Lunch


First off I stamped Cawnie and Cawrls Lunch then masked it off and stamped Harvest Harry. Creating a little scene... Seems Scarecrow Harry is sleeping on the job and those pesky birds are getting to enjoy the corn! I colored with my Copics (colors below) then I added the fun High Hopes stamps sentiment "Ears to you!"  I found a scrap gingham paper in my stash that I sewed my image onto. Then I decided that the scarecrows shirt needed to match up so I stamped it and cut it out and glued it to the image. A kraft card stock base and then some dots of Nuvo Crystal dots in the corners.

I have always had a crush on Harvest Harry... :0) Hope you did too...

Animal Crackers - Gossiping around the Water Cooler?

Howdy -

I wish I could hear what they were discussing... LOL They crack me up they always approach the water barrels all at once and then take turns slurping. Too funny..


We've been a bit concerned about Cocoa this week. Ground is hard with all the heat - and she must have had stepped on a rock or twisted her leg.. she has been limping for over a week. A little medicine but can't give it to her too much. Each day she gets a bit better and last night she was almost back to normal speed. Hope she is healed up now.

My super model was modeling in the breeze for me... are those some horns or what on Miss Gracie?


Such a beauty!

Speaking of a beauty.. this is one handsome old man.


Now I know it isn't the best shot of his face, but I finally got a photo that really shows how gorgeous his coat has been looking since on his geriatric old man food for the last few months. He looked skinny and dry and dull and now look at that coat... I skipped the belly... trust me he has put back on his weight. :0)

Hubby was fixing Bitsy and Specks water bowl... they once in a while peck something loose in the auto water thingy... or they peck on the pipe until it unscrews and we spring a leak... well they had a little puddle last night from the pipe. So Hubby was in fixing things and Bitsy is so calm and tame that she is allowed to come out and clean up what ever has been dropped outside the fence.


She is such a love. So sweet.

Her pen mate Speck is very sweet too... just not as trusted to roam to far out of the pen....


 Lets just say she gets much farther away than Bitsy and is harder to request her going back in. But she is allowed to come out if we are right there watching. Such a beautiful chicken!

And our beautiful Gato...


 Now that box... I just shake my head... I ordered some padded envelopes and they came in a couple of weeks ago. The box came in the back door and that very night she claimed it. Over a few days she smooshed it in and made if fit her perfectly. I have tried to take the box and put it up... and Hubby brings it right back and tells me to leave her new bed alone. Seriously! We even had people to dinner the other night and he refused to let me take the box away. So there it sits... I am going to have to get into it and use those envelopes soon... I will be in trouble then with Gato and Hubby!

Hope you enjoyed and got another smile this week!

Whimsy Digital Stamps - Penguin Campfire

Howdy -

Who doesn't love a Camp out? Ok.. if I have a trailer, air conditioning, shower and a real bed.. I''M IN! But sitting around the campfire roasting marshmallows is a totally awesome part! Here Crissy Armstrong's Whimsy Stamps Digital Penguin Campfire - Such a cutie! 


I printed my digital image and then colored with my Copics (colors below).  And for my papers I was excited to use one of the Whimsy Digital Paper from the Great Outdoors Collection. Love having paper instantly stored in my computer! I sewed down the layers and put them on a Black card stock. My sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps Word Dies - I think roasting a marshmallow is magical don't you? Especially when you add it to a piece of chocolate and Graham cracker! The a couple of fern dies from the Leaf Folliage 2 ! Oh that I think needed some sparkle so I used my Nuvo Green Glitter Pen.

Copic colors used -


Uh oh.. now I am craving a smore! LOL

Have a blessed day -

High Hopes Stamps - Joy Ride

Howdy -

Now this is a Joy Ride! A little Christmas holiday Joy Ride


I looks to me like maybe these cheerful couple are riding in the Christmas Parade... doesn't it? LOL
Sometimes an image just needs to have all the focus on it, and needs a CAS (Clean and Simple) card. So I gave in and went with it. I had fun coloring up the image with lots of Copic colors! (colors below) And you know I just had to add some bling with Viva decor sparkle and pearl pens. My sentiment "We wish you a Merry Christmas" is perfect for your Christmas Cards! A few Enamel Dots after sewing my card to the red mat. Now about that red mat..... well... I couldn't find any red paper that didn't look like the wrong color. So... I took a scrap of white and used my Copics and colored the edges! cheating? yes, but also makes things match and go farther!

Copic colors used -

Hope you enjoyed!

Animal Crackers - It's gunna get loud around here...

Howdy -

The time is coming real close, actually past time for Domino. Yep... it is weaning time next week. Domino should have been weaned first part of this week. But since all three boys will be staying in the pen they are in now and we will be removing the Moms we decided to do them all at once. So later next week the Mom's will go back into the Ladies pen and the boys will have to grow up a bit.


So I went into their pen to have some lovin' time and let them know they better enjoy this weekend of milk and moms cuz it is coming to an end.


Now Abigail was talking non stop... Was it "Hurry let's go ahead and do this!" Or was it "Don't you take my boys!" Not sure... But I am sure I will hear about it lots next week.

Domino and Waylan were just seriously into head butting me and being obnoxiously friendly. I think I may have a couple more of those blue polka dots on my leg now... Their little horns are really getting big and pointed!

They are SOOO Hard to get photos of they are always moving, trying to climb on me and pushing and shoving me! Here Domino was trying to get to the lens of my camera... he must like close ups!


And then suddenly I just about lost my camera... He discovered the strap... whew I caught it in time!
 

Waylan is just as funny, but just  a bit more calm... a tiny tiny tiny bit more calm than Domino.


It has been decided that Waylan is going to be the future Buck for us... I am glad I got Hubby on board. He kept going back and forth. But I knew Waylan and I would get him to agree. We haven't told Domino or Willie that they will be visiting the vet and ahem... yeah we haven't told them.

But Waylan is a happy boy... Love that little grin he has! 


Willie is just as cute, but much much more reserved and standoffish. Just like his Mom.


Still a handsome boy though...

Came out of the goat pen to find Chica laying out in the long grass in the sun. Now it was just about 100 degrees... she isn't super smart. Good thing she is so cute!


 Libbie on the other hand was relaxed and comfortable laying in the shade of the tree.


 Yep she is one smart cookie! oops.. don't say cookie... too late  now we have to pass them out to all three dogs. Once the word is said it is a must you know.

Hope you got a smile this week. I can't believe my babies are already so big and ready to leave their Moms! They grow up so fast!

Have a blessed weekend -
