Happiness.....

Happy Saturday!!!  I have a card I made using one of the fabulous sentiments from Whimsy Stamps New Smile Sentiments
This is a great sentiment set with lovely sentiments.  I mostly chose to coloring images on my cards, but I have to day I have been enjoying using larger sentiments only on cards lately.  For this card I cut out the sentiment with a circle die and before removing it sponged with Memento Cantaloupe ink.  The card stock is all from scrapes with I didn't cut so I designed the layout from their shapes and sizing.  I was fun to see what I could come up with.  The dp is from My Minds Eye, Dolled Up.  Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Love..

Hello I hope you are having a fabulous weekend.  I have a card to share today using one of the new digital sentiments from Whimsy Stamps called Oval Scallop Hearts.

I have been in the mood for making Valentines cards lately and in my favorite V-Day color combo of red, black and white. I keep this very simple and it is a super quick card to put together.  The paper is My Minds Eye's Christmas pack that I found at Michaels.  I love that Michaels is now carry MME paper.  I have added a very cool and sparkly ribbon slide from Whimsy Stamps, I love these and I now have a big bunch of them I will be using.  I hope you have a chance to check out the January release there are a ton of very cool images and we have two new artist.  Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Sweetness of Friendship

 Hello I have a card today to share that I made for this weeks Timeless Tuesday Challenge for Flourishes.  The challenge is to be inspire by one of the DT members cards from last years Timeless Tuesday Challenges.  I picked Denise Marzec's beautiful card from Challenge #177 back on July 10th.

I basically cased Denise's card.  I loved how she used kraft card stock witht eh pretty dp to create such a pretty card.   I changed up the paper, the ribbon treatment on the tag and left off the lace.  My sewing is nowhere near as good and Denise's.  In fact I wish I hadn't tried it again.  Sewing on paper is something I have yet to master.  I love this sentiment stamp from Flourishes.  Thank you for stopping by.

Whimsy Digi Stamps January Release

 Hello it is time for some new digital images from Whimsy Stamps!!  There are some wonderful images this month. I picked this darling little bird.  It reminds me of the birds I have in my backyard.  They love to splash and bath in our bird bath.  St time there can be as many as a dozen of them in the bath at one time.
I also have four blueberry plants that I love to get berries from.  That is if I can get to them before the birds eat them all.  I have colored him with copics and sponged the background with Memento toffee crunch.  Thank you for stopping by.
