Animal Crackers - Boys - Pure Entertainment!

Howdy -

These three boys are the best of buddies, brothers and sparing partners! We had a trio of who is the toughest going on the other day - 

Now Waylan is the smallest of the three, but don't let that fool you. He is one tough cookie!

 They move round and round - then BAM raring up and head butting! Here is a round and round... They look like a Merry Go Round!

They are so cute, they all put their heads together and have some making sure all is good and no one is hurt. They do care for each other even though they try and crack heads!

OOPs.. Domino spotted me... 

Boy loves head scratches! And is great at being a great Photo Bomb!

A couple shots of chickens.. Speck is such a beauty!

She is such a sweetie!

And Miss Wyandotte... ok so we have had a few Miss Wyandottes and at the same too. But honestly they all look the same most of the time.. so that way I have the right name!

Love her bold colors- That red nearly glows! Happy chickens... Happy Mom cuz we then we have lots of eggs!

Hope you have a wonderfully blessed weekend -

High Hopes Stamps - Willy One Eye

Howdy -

This week I am sharing a little birthday card I made for my nephew... I try and do something fun colorful and silly... and how can you not get silly with "Willy One Eye"?

I just love this guy... We have a lot in common I suppose, LOL I colored with my Copics and then found some fun bright color papers from My Minds Eye Kids collection. I sewed the layers together with a mat from Whimsy Doily  Die.

The Eye and the Mouth have Nuvo Clear Shine on them... hard to tell in the photo.. but they have a shine! Then a sentiment "I've Got my Eye on You!

Copic colors -

I just love Willy One Eye! Hope you found him cute too!

Have a great day -

Whimsy Stamps New Release - Penguin Coffee Break

Howdy -

Having fun with the new release at Whimsy Stamps!!! And this new Digital image is just fun for winter cards! This is Crissy Armstrong's Penguin Coffee Break -

Isn't he just precious? Now I did my tech playing.... and I pulled up the Penguin in my program and then I went on the internet and found a freeware image as a background. Sadly I lost the mountain scene from the bottom when I put it all together... but it was cute. I printed the two together as one and then colored the Penguin with my Copics. I added some Nuvo white dots to the hat and scarf. Then I sewed all things together with my machine.

For some added chill... I used the Whimsy Snowflakes Dies for the top corner... after gluing them down I added stickles to to them. brrrrrrr... and then 

 The sentiment is an older die "Warm Wishes" as that looks like what Mr. Penguin seems to be thinking.

Copic colors used -

I do hope you will run right over to the Whimsy store and see all the new fun! And then stay around to see all the wonderful items in the store. HERE 

Have a blessed day-

Whimsy Stamps - Scruffy Cat

Howdy -

Another new release image from Whimsy Stamps!! This is one of the new Whimsy digital images from Crissy Armstrong called "Scruffy Cat"

I ADORE this guy! he just screams I have personality! I colored with my Copics (colors below) and decided this guy just had too much going on with that grin and he needed to be on a CAS card (Clean and Simple). And with that a very simple sentiment "hello" from an older set. And then a "handstitch" Doodle around the edge. I just love this cat! And can't wait to use another of him in this new release. Look forward to that next week.

Now head over to the Whimsy Stamps Store HERE and see all the FUN!

Animal Crackers - Now that is a face!

Howdy -

Fall temps are showing up here in Texas. Yes... goodbye 90+ temps and Hello cooler weather. Now I was out yesterday and found that the doggies were really enjoying the sun that has been hiding for a while and the breeze. Now isn't that the face of pure enjoyment?

Guess it was the perfect temperature and a really nice breeze huh? LOL I love this little Queen Bee... Small and in charge!

OH wait... Chica was enjoying things too.. but with the panting with that LONG tongue sticking out the temperature must be a little to warm for her...

 Now my boy Autie ... he had gotten in trouble for rolling in the wet grass. So he was trying to pull off that "Who Me?" look.

Dirty and grass all over him and he is still adorable. Bath is coming Autie regardless of that handsome cute innocent look. 

Now with all the rains.. we look a bit overgrown and honestly it looks like Spring! Black Jack was playing a little hide and seek!

We will mow soon Black Jack as soon as the tractor can get in and the mud dries up!

Little Miss Louise... She was suppose to be bred last Spring. And for some reason it didn't take. And where is she now? Flirting with the young boys...

Flirt now Louise... we will be trying again really really soon! I really want little babies from this pretty little girl!

And then there is this photo of Chloe. LOL!

Now not the clearest photo, she was really taking care of that itch on her back with those long gorgeous horns! But seriously - do you think that tongue helps?

Hope you got a giggle this week and have a blessed weekend.

High Hopes Stamps - Pumpkin Patch

Howdy -

It is official Fall now.. and so out come the pumpkins! This sweet image from High Hopes Stamps "Pumpkin Patch" is a great way to color up that seasonal feeling.

I colored the image with my Copics and then pulled out one of my favorite pattern papers, from My Minds Eye,  that I love with the Pumpkin images.  I sewed all the layers down with mats in dark brown and bright gree.

For a little embellishments I added Viva Decor Dots in the same colors. Was trying to put a sentiment with the card and then decided that the sign was enough. You think?

Copic colors -

Hope you enjoyed ... And have a little fall feeling~ Love that crisp fall feeling don't you?

Have a blessed day -

Whimsy Stamps - Christmas Mermaid

Howdy -

Now that Fall is here it is time to start preparing for Christmas right? And there are so many wonderful Christmas images at Whimsy Stamps to play with. And this image was really fun to play with as a Digital image. This is Christmas Mermaid by Crissy Armstrong...

I have been having so much fun playing with Digital images! And this Mermaid... well lets just say I tried a few oceans on her before I decided on this one! LOL I chose a free iamge and then placed her over it before printing. Printed it out then colored her with my Copics (colors below) I love how she becomes a part of the ocean! Her and her little swimming friends. Then they all had to have some Rangers Stickles added to their hats for some bling!

My pattern papers are scraps from long ago that I sewed together. I pulled out all my leaf dies and found a couple that looked like they could be under the water plants.  The green leaves are from Whimsy's Leaf Foliage 2 Die Set. And the purple is a retired die. For my sentiment at Merry Christmas -

I think she is fun.. and a great image for someone that loves a little under the sea adventures!

Here is my Copic colors used -
