High Hopes Stamps - Butterfly Fairy

Howdy -

A little more magic from High Hopes Stamps today! Today we have "Butterfly Fairy" Such a pretty little fairy!

Now honestly I had intended to go soft and sweet with a light pink color... but then I saw this pattern paper in my stash from EchoPapers and suddenly she need to be bright and bold! Love double sided papers too cuz it all matches so well.  I colored with my copics (colors below) I sewed down the layers and added the new High Hopes Stamps sentiment "Magical Moments are Everywhere"  To finish it off lots of stickles on those wings... cuz Fairies just have to have LOTS of bling and sparkle!

Whimsy Stamps - New Release - Spring Bouquet Bunny

Howdy -

Another new release from Whimsy Stamps!! And who doesn't love the start of Spring? And for my first card for this release I colored up the Spring Bouquet Bunny! 

Adorable Bunny right? I colored with my Copics (colors below) and then found a country feeling paper 

Now I cute that cute frame and the decoration impressed on it is from the new Whimsy Shaker Maker Circle Square Combo Die set. Kind of hard to see the empressed mark in the photo on the dark jean pattern paper, but trust me it looks cool. Then I added the Whimsy Stamp Word Die Celebrate from the "Smiles Happy Celebrate" Set.

Animal Crackers - Gorgeous Sleepy Morning

Howdy -

Oh my after a couple of VERY stormy days earlier in the week, we have had a couple of absolutely gorgeous days! Perfect temp and sunny! So the "children" were out enjoying life. ok... many were snoozing which is what I wanted to do! Man I wish we had a hammock... but that is why we don't have a hammock. I would use it too much!

Rhett looks like she was sleeping in her breakfast. But actually she was chewing and pulling bites of hay - maybe she is sleep eating? I think she was just really enjoying the day -

Crissy was on top of the largest hut loving the breeze and just chillin' - Such a pretty lady.

Jorge was screaming.... LOUD!

Me MOM! ME! Attention Attention NOW! As soon as I snapped the photo and reached out for him, just like his Dad Black Jack... He pulled his head back and turned around. Hiney scratches! Such a funny boy. And despite that he was a bit muddy from some wet dirt baths rolls, I did give him some much needed hiney scratches.

Rare glimpse of a wild animal here!

Its Fraidy Cat!
Out in the open!

Ok.. he ran as soon I said how proud I was that he was out showing himself... but that few seconds was fabulous! Such a scrappy handsome man!

And then there is my baby... my Autie Boy

He too was out lounging and enjoying the sun and breeze! He got his first longer puppy cut a couple weeks ago... such a cutie pie! Once it warms up more he will get his shorter real puppy cut that just melts me. But here he was just right! Love that face!

And one more photo this week... Bad Bad Teddy!

If you remember last week Ted wouldn't let us pull in as he was wanting a treat... well Hubby came in with a load of hay...FOR EVERYONE In the coming week.... And well MR. TED E. BEAR figured he would take a really large bale of Alfalfa and knock it off the truck for himself. Of course Hubby had to grab his camera and snap a photo before telling him bad donkey and taking it away from him. He is too cute to be upset with... silly boy. And he did get a couple of quick bites :0)

Well I hope you all have a wonderfully blessed Easter Weekend -

Whimsy Stamps - Window and Water Mill

Howdy -

I think the hardest card to make for me is a Sympathy card - I never know how far to go with it. And usually I decided simple is best. For my card this week for Whimsy Stamps I used two of the new DoveArt stamps - The new Window stamp just screams to have something else placed behind it to show off the Window as well as the beauty through the window!

And through the window today I wanted to peaceful a beautiful DoveArt image Water Mill 

Love how the two work so well together, and honestly most all the DoveArt images will match up with the Window! I colored with my copics - then cut out the window and the Water Mill to layer on top of my pattern paper to resemble a sort of wall paper. I sewed down the papers and then glued the window down. For my sentiment I used Whimsy Die "Sympathy" from the Sympathy/Heartfelt/Condolences set.   Three enamel dots for just a bit more embellishments - Simple but calming.

High Hopes Stamps - 3 Little Garden Gnomes

Howdy -

Today I have a really fun guy card - The new release at High Hopes Stamps is so Magical! And "3 Little Garden Gnomes" is just too much fun!

How can you not love three Gnomes all together over a crystal ball. I colored with my copics ( I took a chance and colored a really bold background to pull the yellow out of the background pattern paper. I added some stickles to that crystal ball.. and that is where the magic is! And the new sentiment from High Hopes Stamps is absolutely perfect for these "dudes" - "Chillin' with the Gnomies"

Copic colors used -

Hope you have a blessed and Magical day!

Animal Crackers - Did you bring me anything?

Howdy -

As we came home the other day Teddy decided we were not allowed to pull in unless we have some sort of payment... Did you bring me anything? A carrot, peppermint??

When he doesn't want to move... he doesn't! We ended up parking about 10 feet back... sigh... gotta love him.

Sweet Pea was looking mighty cute yesterday afternoon.

 I see what I am hoping is a baby bump there! She gave us such a gorgeous little boy last time... But when you are that cute... you have to pass down cute right?

Boy that better be a baby bump there on Olive Oyl...

Her first time as a Mom and hoping so much she passes down friendliness and personality - along with all the colors she carries.

We decided to move in Macie to live with Darlene in the pen up near the house. She has helped settle down Darlene... and she is loving that special feeding!

Now she doesn't need to put on weight.. as you see. But well she is doing a job supporting her old friend Darlene.. so a few extra calories is worth it. LOL

Got a great shot of our outdoor kitty Samantha "Sam" - 

Those eyes almost glow in the dark! She is so luxurious with that black fur. Beautiful -

Hubby has a new friend -

 He has been out in the garage refinishing a piece of furniture... and last Sunday a pretty white bird showed up and has been keeping him company in and on the garage... every day he comes and visits and then late in the day he flies away... all week he has showed up. Hangs out while Hubby talks to him, and then flies away later in the day he goes home, wherever that is.

It is nice to make new friends -

Well I hope you have wonderful plans for this weekend. Make sure to spend some time enjoying a furry or feathered friend -

Hugs and -
