Whimsy Stamps - Basket of Bunnies

Howdy -

Whimsy Stamps has a new Digital Stamp Release!! And it is cute overload!!

I decided to play with "Basket of Bunnies" first! Who wouldn't want to play with a basket of bunnies?

Aren't they too cute??? I printed the image with the background of the new Digital paper "April Showers"  LOVE these papers. With a little Photoshop it is so fun to print the image with the background papers!

I colored with my Copics (colors below) and then I just HAD to add Marvy Snow Marker to that bunny tail!! Love how fluffy it is!! I cut out papers from Paper studio for the pattern paper, with a pink card stock and kraft card stock. Then Whimsy Stamps Shapeology Double Scallop Doily Die. Love that die! I cut out the image and had the one bunny's ears pop off the top of the cut image.

I used a Martha Stewart Large leaf punch and flower dies. Dots of Viva Decor Pearl Pen for the centers. The Whimsy Shapeology Card Builder Many Thanks set "Thanks".

Love this image... and don't you love how the digital is so instant!

High Hopes Stamps - Pretty Gladiolas

Howdy -

High Hopes Stamps is having a new release!! Party Time! Yes to Party.. but the release is called Party time. And for my first card this week I got to color up "Pretty Gladiolas"

Love how pretty this image is. I colored with my Copics (colors below) to match with the My Minds Eye Nursery Girl papers. Matted with a Core'dinations card stock and placed on a white card base. The sentiment is also a new stamp from High Hopes Stamps "Celebrate the Joys" A truly beautiful sentiment. I sewed all the layers down, and then added a satin ribbon, and three enamel dots.

Animal Crackers - Making Me Smile

Howdy -

These "children" of mine each have a way of making me smile. They each have their own personalities and show them off in there own way. Some are down right hysterical... some a calm and beautiful. Some are just trying to get the most attention -

Juliet and Lacey were at the fence pushing... shoving and both working to get the first head scratch and the largest share of attention. Juliet usually wins at this as she is a standard donkey among miniatures... but Lacey said NOPE not this time girlfriend!

And with a grin like that you just have to laugh out loud and let her have that first rub! LOL good thing I have two hands though... Juliet wasn't giving up that easy!

Lacey's grown daughter Gabby was working the big brown eyes for attention.

This girl can rock both the sweet batting eyes for attention or the pushy shove attention depending on her mood. Today it was the calm beautiful look working best....

Now Ellie Mae's personality is usually calm and beautiful. She always looks so pretty..... but she gets the biggest grins from Hubby and I when she calls out to us.

This gal has a yell that can scare some. Sounds like a two or three year old child scream at the top of her lungs. Makes you jump for sure if you aren't use to it. I love it... she is the only one with this distinctive voice. And even when I am in the house I hear it far out in the pasture and it makes me smile.

Rhett can be listed as one of those pushy personalities....

But this girl can also stand perfectly still and make me laugh. I always get this feeling she is saying "Look deep into my eyes... good and now bring me some treats" Those eyes can melt you ....

And I know Spartacus has been shown more than once wearing his hay... But seriously if you are going to list ones that make me smile... Spartacus is for sure in list!

Usually it is breakfast he enjoys storing on his... but this week I found him out there scooping up and walking around with a small pile of hay late in the day. Guess he was just proud he found a little late afternoon snack... or it was just a fashion statement... LOL

Now Autie's fashion statement was not too funny... Ok so I laughed a little... but Hubby, nope he was not happy.... You see Autie had a bath the night before I snapped this photo. 

He decided that his fluffy clean fur would feel good rolling around outside... yep Hubby was not thrilled with the boy. But who are we kidding... he really wasn't too mad... you can never stay upset with that sweet face! 

One of the outdoor kitties, Samantha was not kidding around with me though... LOL She was reaching out to me... or was it the can food I told her about?

LOL Check out those claws! LOL Sweetest kitty alive in reality... well unless you are holding back some can food! She did let me give her some loving before her meal though. So all is good.

Hope you got a smile this week. Maybe a chuckle or two....
Have a wonderfully blessed weekend!

Whimsy Stamps - Poppy

Howdy -

Whimsy Stamps just has soooo many fabulous artist! It is so hard to choose one favorite, and you don't have too! This week I was so excited to color up "Poppy" by Sylvia Zet.

Now I colored with my Copics (colors below) and then used papers from Paper Studio. Sewing down the layers. Now I have been playing with Whimsy's new "Honeycomb Pattern" Die. I wanted it to have a thick look to it so I painted it with dimensional glaze. And since my Large Martha Stewart large leaf punch and Marvy flowers punch were on my desk I thought they would be pretty with "Poppy" as well. I added Stickles to her wings and lots of stickles for the image to sparkle. I guess sweet little fairies and lady bugs should sparkle? Not sure why I thought this but is does sparkle!

High Hopes Stamps - Kovu Drops In

Howdy -

Enjoying playing with more High Hopes Stamps this week. And this week "Kovu Drops In"

Isn't he just adorable! I saw that sweet little blanket he is dropping in with as an opportunity paper pieced effect. Picked my papers from Pebbles Front Porch collection. Love that gingham with the flowers papers. So I colored with my copics (colors below) and then stamped and cut out the blanket out of the gingham paper and the red pattern paper.  Then glued the pieces onto the image. I sewed the papers down with zig zag stitches. Some Martha Stewart Large leaf punches and Marvy small flowers for embellishment. White paint dotted for centers. Finished off with the great High Hopes sentiment "Falling For You"

Animal Crackers - Cozy Bed

Howdy -

The doggies got a couple of new beds this week. I just love a clearance sale... and They LOVE the new beds...

This was seconds after it landed on the floor. And all three dogs have been moving from bed to bed and stretching out and enjoying them. Now honestly... When Libbie wants one the others usually give it up... but well... when Gato wants one....

 Yep she isn't as easily persuaded to pass it up. But with Libbie's high pitch constant barking she does end up deciding the noise was just not worth it... She can sleep just about anywhere...

And the warm laundry I just got out of the dryer was purrrrrrfect! Now how she thinks this position is comfortable I have no idea... but she was like that for hours. No worries this was Hubby's laundry not mine... I would have made her leave if it had been mine, wouldn't have wanted to all that cat hair on my clean laundry. :0)

Louise was lounging and posing pretty for me too...

Such a pretty little girl. Those ice blue eyes and those jet black "boots" she is wearing... just stunning.

Was heading back inside when Rico called out to me...

Now honestly it was more that he wanted some afternoon hay, but he did call out. Handsome man. And seems like lately he has been wanting to have more than his share of blog time. But it is ok Rico... you are a handsome stud and I love showing you off... :0)

Hope you enjoyed this week. I didn't venture out to the far pens.. Been a bit under the weather and walking out too far would have been just more than I had in me. Wish I could find out who gave me this so I can give it back!! I felt I needed a nap after typing this up! Thinking jammies, a blanket and a good old movie sounds good today.... Oh in a Cozy Bed.... Not Libbie's though....

Have a blessed day - HUGS and

Whimsy Stamps - From Me to You

Howdy -

Whimsy Stamps has a new artist! Kirsten Winkelbauer is joining all the wonderful talented artist at Whimsy and her stuff is just perfect! 

From Me to You 

Isn't she just too cute! I first went off to pull out the reds and pinks and decided that I needed to try and go a different color combo. I used a pattern paper from Die Cut With a View Baby Boy collection and matched it up with baby blue, brown and yellow card stock. I colored with my copics and then die cut the word love from the new Whimsy Card Builder Die Set Hearts of Love. All the layers are sewn down. And then added three Whimsy Enamel Dots I love these don't you???
