Whimsy Stamps - New Release - Bath Cat

Howdy -

Another new image from the new Release at Whimsy Stamps! This is Bath Cat by Crissy Armstrong.  

 I just adore this image... too funny! I used some Making Memories papers that I sewed together with a zig zag stitch and used a grey card stock base. The image I cut out with a Whimsy Basic Stitched Ovals Die set. Great dies! I added lots of Ranger Stickles for the bubbles... cuz bubbles need to sparkle!

A few punched leaves and then old mulberry flowers with silver brads. And for the sentiment one of my new favorites "Thanks Word and Shadow Dies set" Love this sentiment set. All thought when with this image I think it may have a bit of a sarcastic feel to it. LOL

A couple of papers from my scraps that felt a bit like a beach paradise, a ribbon with three antique buttons and then the fabulous sentiment "Smile".  Such a cute image that just gives you a smile right?

High Hopes Stamps - Keep Calm and Fish On

Howdy -


A fun "Man" card this week for High Hopes Stamps. I just love this image "Fisherman Fred" and his tiny little fish!

Isn't he adorable! I colored with my Copics (colors below) matching up to to pattern papers from Authentique Cuddle Boy collection. I sewed the layers down with a loose zig zag stitch. The sentiment from the Sentiment Set #1 - love that this set has multiple sentiments for the sporting cards. A few enamel dots for additional fun.

Copic colors -

Love it when a guy card comes together and makes me happy. Guy cards are tough sometimes. And there are so many great guy images that just are perfect for that man in your life.

Animal Crackers - Goat Wrangling

Howdy -

Well this week we finally got our Goat Wrangling done. Between Work, Shows and weather everything was coming up, but now we have places set. So last week Frank went to live with all the ladies, he is very happy and settled in well. So in his pen went our future "daddy" Waylon and our oops "daddy" Domino.
 

They will still be pen mates for now while we are not sure when or who we will be breeding Waylon with at this time.

All though Domino says he did give us a great baby in Penelope... so he is good to go if we are ready for more babies from him too... LOL love this guy!

So that freed up the boys pen to move Abigail and Penelope into, a bit bigger and more running and bouncing room for our gorgeous younger kid.  I finally got a photo showing off more of her colors... Such a pretty little girl... And yes.. he is loving the running room and taking full advantage of it!

Sooooo that freed up the small Momma/Baby pen to move Thelma into...

We left Alice and Mary in with Alvin for now so Thelma has some private time. She is the only one really showing and her milk bag has gotten really large. By my dates we are sometime within the next couple of weeks give or take... Hopefully Alice and Mary are not far behind and will have their time in the Momma pen soon.

Thelma wasn't to happy about moving. She never is and she is always vocal in her resistance. Then yells about it for days every time she sees us. We are SO looking forward to happy healthy and GORGEOUS babies from her and Alvin!

Speaking of babies... Things have gotten quiet in Black Jacks pen for now. Very calm so we are hoping that means babies are in the works...

Peaceful right? Spring lots of green and all are happy. Caught Bella and Black Jack together grazing under the trees. So peaceful!

As I came inside from visiting all my fur kids. I found Gato enjoying the front of the refrigerator. She loves this spot. I thought it was cute her on my old rag rug, with "Chica's Flea"... yep when we are outside with the dogs in the yard. Gato gets a bit lonely, even if just a few minutes. She always finds Chica's toy Flea and drags it around the house til someone is back inside. If we leave even just one of the dogs inside she is fine... but the moment everyone is just feet out the door... she needs someone to comfort her I suppose.  Silly kitty...

Hubby's big job this week has been his veggie garden. He started off last week with a few Tomatoes and Peppers in pots. And yes.. he always sticks in some flowers of some sort, just cuz he can.

This this week he has been working on the big in ground vegetable garden - not much to see yet. And well it was muddy out there and I did't want to get my shoes all nasty.. so I didn't go out there for a photo. Soon we should have More Tomatoes, Peppers, Squash, Zucchini, Watermelon, and a couple others I can't think of now...

Pulling out some of my favorite recipes and getting ready!

Hope you have a blessed weekend - hug a furry friend!

High Hopes Stamps - Goat Your Back

Howdy -

Now We have a little "GOAT watch" going on here... With three pregnant goats and one of them ready to pop any minute the High Hopes Stamps "Goat Your Back" was just too perfect for me to color up this week! LOVE this STAMP!

Now with this image I went with some very colorful goats... hoping for a few multi colored kids - So with my copics (colors below) I went with a bunch of blacks, greys and reds. I found some papers from Paper Studios that seemed to feel good with the image. The sentiment "Hoping your Day"seemed Special for this trio of goats. I sewed all the layers down with a zig zag stitch and then found a ribbon that somehow just matched perfectly.

Copic colors used -

Getting so excited for baby goats ... or more baby goats!! They are coming soon!

Have a wonderfully blessed day -

Whimsy Stamps - Bird Swing

Howdy -

Happy Easter! 

Had some fun coloring some cute little birdies on a swing. This is Whimsy Stamps - "Bird Swing" by Sylvia Zet. Love playing with Whimsy Stamps Digital Stamps - instant versatile and easy storage!

Such a sweet image... now I started to go with light pastel colors, and then somehow I found a piece of paper from Paper Studios Petals and Blooms collection and those bright fun bold colors well I just had to go pink and black with this one! Fun right? I colored with Copics (colors below) and then cut out with a oval die cut and used an older Spellbinders mat. Layered up the papers with black card stock and pink card stock base, then sewed all the layers down with a zig zag stitch. Found a black and white gingham ribbon.. now it just didn't pop enough. So I colored it with my Copic - so it matched up to the bright pink and black! Love that!

For my sentiment I used the Whimsy Stamps Thanks Word and Shadow Die set.  I LOVE these dies sets! They really make a statement on your cards! They POP! A retired vine die for the leaves and then some mulberry roses cuz every vine needs some roses to match that paper and image!

I had so much fun with this one, just made me feel happy.

Copics used -

 I hope you have a wonderfully blessed Sunday - Enjoy your family and friends on this blessed day!

Animal Crackers - Gorgeous

Howdy -

This little Girl is just too Gorgeous!

She really is a sweet baby - she loves to get her close ups... sometimes a bit too close...

Humor is for sure in this girls personality! Love her!!

I guess the big news this week has been step one in moving around and getting the pens ready for the Moms in the goat pen. So step one Frankie has retired into the larger pen with all the ladies. I was a little nervous at first, I didn't want our old man to get hurt trying to "be a man" and run around and hurt himself.

But he was released and after he ran around for a few minutes to smell and rub his own smell on a few huts and plants... he was bored and ate a bit then claimed one of the best huts as his new Man Hut. Old man is happy and calm... So I am happy and calm!

 Love that grin on his face... Happy Happy Happy!

Crissy... she decided to stay clear and watch it all from one of the igloo's. This girl is such a sweetie - 

It was a beautiful sunny afternoon yesterday - We had some pretty loud storms come through a few nights ago. Takes the kids a while to get back to normal after long stormy nights. So an afternoon nap under a shady tree was just what was needed.

Irene was totally asleep when I first went out, but then she yawned and then gave me that look like I had interrupted her nice rest. One snap then I moved on so she could get back to sleep. Pretty Lady!

As I made my way back to the house - I found Autie and Chica on the porch ready to go back in. They love to be outside, running from each side of the yard, checking on their goats, donkeys and chickens. And then barking at all the dangers.. you know Moxie, butterflies, cars on the road... But then after all the things are checked off the list... they are ready to head back in and get to the air conditioning, and their cushy beds. Not that my children are lazy and spoiled... nope.

Chica was a bit in the sun on the porch, but still a pretty shot. Still blows me away how grey she is going! She is my baby! 

Autie.. he had the shady section, fair though, he has 10 times thicker hair so the sun gets to much for him to deal with and even in the shade he was hot and ready to head back inside to comfort!

 Love my fur babies! They bring such joy and happiness!

I hope you all have a wonderfully blessed Easter weekend  - Time with family and friends and hugs from those furry kids too!
