Well here we are at the last weekend of MerMay and we are wrapping the month up with a special Sweet November Vault release. We've brought back the Merbabies that originally released back in 2011 and have given them a major update. Splash and Wave used to be paired together but we have separated them and given each a new aquatic friend. Another change is that Pebble has grown sleepy and decided to take a nap in her clam shell bed. So now we have Splash and Wiggles, Wave and Happy, Shelly and Bebe and Pebble with Jumbo, Gumbo and Little Fry.
For my first card I've colored Pebble into a bright and cheery clam shell nursery where the little shrimp are making sure her nap time goes uninterrupted. Nobody wants to have a cranky merbaby on their hands, LOL!
Next we have Shelly and Bebe, the young beluga whale. From sun up to sun down these two friends 'swim so wild and swim so free' (just like the song says). ;)
Finally today, we have Wave and her axolotl friend, Happy. It's hard not to smile when you have a silly little 'walking fish' by your side who is always ready for fun and good times.
Now be sure to go check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group
on Facebook for even more Merbabies inspiration from Caitlin, Melissa, and our wonderful guest, Davinia! I will also be coloring the fourth merbaby Live later this morning at 11am PST on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page and I hope to see you there!
