Whimsy Stamps New Release - Penguin Floating

Howdy -

Another day to show of the new fun at Whimsy Stamps! New Release time! And today it is all about relaxing and floating in the water! Summer Fun ... Penguin Floating is just so cute!

Sweet huh? I colored with my copics (colors below) I just love how cute those little penguin faces are! I found paper from My Mind's Eye with cream card stock and red card stock. I sewed all the layers down and then found a sentiment from Whimsy Stamps Clear stamps Bold Statements. Then I punched it out with EK Success punch. Three red enamel dots that are some of my favorite embellishments. You can find them HERE on the Whimsy site.

High Hopes Stamps - Party Donkey

Howdy -

Now if you asked me to list some of my favorite things Stamps would be on my short list. And top of any list would of course be Donkeys! So when I have a chance to mix two favorites it is very special! Today I am working with High Hopes Stamps Party Donkey (S113)!

Love this guy!! One of my first High Hopes Stamps - I colored with my Copics (colors below) I used kraft card stock, coredinations red card stock and papers from Dovecraft Curiosity Corner. I inked the edges of everything and sewed all the layers together. Then that Donkey needs to hold something up right? So I added the fun cake from High Hopes Stamps Three Candle Cake H187. Would would love that birthday cake? I then added Whimsy Stamps Dies Birthday Wishes, then made flowers for the corner with the Whimsy Stamps Peony flower die. Love how this card came out -

Here are my Copic colors used -

Animal Crackers - How about them blue eyes?

Howdy -

Wow summer is here! Went out yesterday afternoon and the heat was horrible! Ok heat was bad humidity was horrible! In my little walk the goat pen is always first, right out the back door. Lizzie trotted over to the fence to see if she could get a little head scratch. Ok she was seeing if I brought any treats, they are always looking for treats, but let me think it was just for me ok?

Now isn't a face you just have to love! Look at how beautiful she is! And sweet! Those eyes just melt your heart... she got those from her Momma you know...

Daisy has those same stunning blue eyes!

She always does give us stunning babies! She is on the fall breeding list for sure. Heck Lizzie is old enough too.. maybe she should be on that list!

Now after I left the goat pen I passed by the back "mens" pen. Wish I had volume on my camera!

Wow Sergio was really screaming it out "HEEEELLLLLOOOO" sounded more like a Hee Haw but I know it was Hello. He is my special guy you know. My orphan that became my baby years ago is still very attached.. as I am to him! Sorry he was talking with his mouth full...

Then I walked back to the back pasture to see if by any chance I could find the girls. Now it was mid afternoon so my chances weren't good as it was pretty hot and sunny, usually they are far back in hiding.... But look at what I spotted!!

Shhhh they don't know I can see them! Now I am pretty sure the one on the left is Jazz... and I think that one on the right is Lacey... maybe. LOL Hey if it keeps them cooler to hide back in there I am all for it.

Found Juliet sort of in the shade...

I bet she was totally in the shade when she stopped there, but when I first saw her she was asleep in her standing pose. Shade moved past her... and once she saw me I barely got a chance to snap before she was right there at me pushing shoving and insisting on 100% attention. Hard to take photographs from then on but Love Juliet!

Then on my way back up front I checked on Raffie... now yesterday was his first day back into bachelor status. Yep his three ladies were released back into the girls pen. We are pretty sure they are all pregnant now... Oh I so hope they are, they should be!

One day on his own with no lady friends in his pen... and this boy is reaching through the fence trying to convince Macie to come closer and say hi....

Guess he is a man to the end huh? LOL Too hot for new lady friends now Raffie... Fall will come soon and then you can have new girlfriends!

One more photo... an update on our little Keets.

 They are doing great! A little bit bigger, not much. They are still very skittish but getting very chatting for sure!

Hope you have a wonderfully blessed weekend, hug on a furry or feathered friend!

High Hopes Stamps - Posey's For Ewe

Howdy -

I love new stamps at High Hopes Stamps. But I giggle when I get to pull out all my old favorites from High Hopes as well. Like playing with old friends!

Today I pulled out "Posey's For Ewe"

Simple little card, but perfect to put onto a gift for a friend. I colored with my copics (colors below) then sewed onto layers of white and purple card stock with a pretty dotted pattern paper from Paper Studio. My "For Ewe" is die cut letters from a Whimsy Stamps Brush Script alphabet die set. 

Colors of Copics used - 

Make sure to visit the High Hopes Stamps web site and fall in love with so many images!! HERE

Have a blessed day -

Animal Crackers - Clean Doggies

Howdy -

Well my three inside babies had baths this week. I love when they are so pretty, soft and clean. It doesn't last long...

Libbie is such looker anyway, but clean and her fur blowing in the breeze... such a pretty girl.

Now despite Libbie being nearly blind she still sees light, dark and shapes when it is bright. But either it was too bright or it just felt really nice in the sun yesterday afternoon.

Autie was laying there watching the chickens. Love that long mane on him. But it is getting really warm, heck HOT,  here so it is time for his puppy cut! Hoping Hubby has time to help me this weekend to do that.

Can't leave Miss Chica out today. She is so silky soft!

This girl fights a bath like no other! Hides, cries, then falls over in the tub and shakes. But once clean and dry... she is stunning.

Now last week I showed off the new guineas and I just felt I needed to show off how big my "Chicks" have gotten!

Can you believe how big they are?? And then look at how big our home grown little Banty chicks are!

 Itsy and Bitsy... I keep chanting "please be girls please be girls.. please"  We will love them no matter what, but we seriously do not need or have a place for another rooster. So far, neither of them are acting "boyish" towards the other chicks... so maybe we will be lucky!

Snapped a photo of Old Miss Paintbrush. Been keeping a watch on her little boo boo on her nose. Not sure how our old lady got her wound, but it hasn't seemed to effect her.

For our oldest girl she still is trotting, and getting in there for her share of the hay. And if a younger goat tries to push her out... she tells them differently. Maybe that is how she got her boo boo... Head butting does create ouches once in a while.  I hope she continues on for a long time! Love this girl!

Tried to snap some donkey photos this week, but everyone was snoozing in the shade yesterday afternoon. I was a nice afternoon for a nap.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend planned. Not sure what is on our to do list. We always have a to do list you know.... now if we will mark anything off... not sure. Suppose to be nice weather so we should do a few things. Should but will we? Ha... depends on Hubby's mood I guess, poor guy has been working so much lately he deserves a down day now and then.

Have a blessed weekend -

Whimsy Stamps - Furever Friends Slider

Howdy -

This week I made another card with out any coloring! Insert Shocked Face Here! But I had so much fun with this one! A first slider card for me. And with Whimsy Stamps "Slip 'n Slide" Die Set it is just too easy!

And to make my slide across my card I used the new "Furever Friend" Die Set. Love this cute set.

I cut out all the pieces from the "Furever Friends" Die set. The Doggie with a piece of core d'nations black card stock and the rest from a dark red card stock. I sanded the doggie to show off a little kraft card stock below. A piece of red behind him to create a red collar and a Whimsy Enamel Dot for a tag on his collar. Then I cut out a grass hill side and a blue sky. I sanded them both, and then cut  out the slider from the grass. A few pieces of foam behind the grass and then some foam dots with the dots from the die set on the dog that makes him "slide" so easy!

See here he is on the other side of the card.

I used a black pen to create a stitch look around the edges.

Fun card and I just love the little doggie "running" back and forth on it!

Hope you have a wonderfully blessed day!!

High Hopes Stamps - Peeking Kitty

Howdy -

New challenge at High Hopes Stamps today! I went through my favorite stamps and found one I haven't inked in ages! Peeking Kitty is one that is just too cute and was "peeking" out saying ink me ink me!

Isn't he just adorable?? I colored with my copics (colors below) and then cut it out with an oval Nestie. I then found papers from Paper Studio and sewed down the layers. I cut the bottom of the oval off to have it peeking from over the tape measure tape. I matched the kitty up with the sentiment "Pawsing to say hello!" LOVE this sentiment with cat images.  Then for some added embellishment I added dots of Viva Decor Pearl Pen.

Inside more of the same papers.
