Mornin' friends!
How much fun is this Bowl Of digi stamp from Mo's? The original image has this little sneak thief holding an empty bowl and there are several different things for you to fill it with. For this birthday card she needed to be absconding with a giant mint chip and hot fudge ice cream sundae. Hey... birthday girls are allowed to be a bit selfish and overindulgent on the big day, right? LOL she sure seems to think so any way, just look at her run! I kept the card clean and simple with a sprinkling of enamel dots to mimic drops of hot fudge flying off that sundae. I gotta say that this little gal totally makes me smile. :)
Laters!

Hello, hello!
I have some exciting news to share today... I've been invited to be a guest designer for Whimsy Stamps the next two months! They have many, many cute character stamps that I have so much coloring and creating with and I am thrilled to join the fun. I'm kicking things off a bit early with this adorable little country girl stamp called Farmer's Market. Seeing those apples in her basket I knew that I wanted to give her an orchard to live in so I grabbed this Rolling Hills background and drew in the trees up at the top of the hill. I can't even tell you how much this card feels like home to me. Even though our apple orchards may be outnumbered by vineyards these days I still feel like I live in the heart of apple country. This little Farmer could be strolling right down the road from me. LOL
And I know it's short notice but if you haven't seen that Whimsy is currently having a Design Team call there is still one more day to get your application in. I can tell you just from a guest perspective that they are wonderful to work with and super generous. So if you've been on the fence at all, don't be! :)
Thanks for stopping by and sharing in my joy today!

Hi there!
It's Tuesday and you know what that means... time for my weekly 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store card creation. I've inked up a new-to-me stamp company called Dreamerland Crafts today and I mean come on... how cute is this guy?! The set is called So Much to be Joyful About and it comes with a handful of different images that can be masked into that box he is carrying. I couldn't resist giving him a box full of puppies and as I was coloring them up I could imagine this sweet boy taking the pups to meet their new fur-ever families. Thus the farm house scene in the distance just kinda sprang from that. So yea, I got a little carried away with the coloring because by the time I was done all I needed to do was add a sentiment and glue it to a card base. :)
Alrighty, there is still a little over a week to play along in the August 'anything goes' challenge so head on over to the 7 Kids blog
and play along! Also Kelly is running a special sale now through September 4th. Use the code Texas to get 15% off your entire order and 30% of the proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross in aid of the Hurricane Harvey victims.

Good morning!
I have been on the run all weekend and I can't wait for my day off tomorrow. I had plans to color a much more involved image for today's card but just didn't have the time to tackle it. So instead I grabbed this tiny cutie from the Little Heroes set from TGF that I had previously stamped up. I love the little masks that are included in the set because with a little stamp masking I could easily give this super girl open eyes just by adding that mask. I paired her up with this cool Time Warp stamp from Neat and Tangled which really pulls focus right to her in a very cool way. So there you have it, another simple and quick card done on the fly... hope you like it!
Later gators!

TGIF!
I'm ending the week with a card that I've made for today's Bellarific Challenge which is a photo/color inspiration. The photo showed a rainbow of bright, happy colors so I grabbed Tiny Townie Sammy is Sweet to make a colorful birthday card. Once she was colored up I masked her off and stamped the streamers behind her. I don't know why the red ones are reading as more of a pink in this photo but in real life they are a better match to her dress. Alrighty friends, I've got to run... got a busy weekend ahead of me.
Thanks for stopping by and have fun!

Olo!
My cousin is expecting her first child in a couple months and I wanted to make a special card to go with her baby shower gift. Because they are already calling the new little guy their bear, I grabbed the Birthday Bears set and hopped on over to the MFT challenge blog to see what the new sketch was. It was definitely something I could work with, I just had to scoot the domed image piece to the left so that mama bear wasn't staring off the side of the card. I stamped mama and cub in desert sand ink so I could practice doing animal stamps in no-line and I fell like I've still got a lot of practice ahead of me to really nail the look but they will do. Next I decided to color in a mountainside of fall trees behind them since her baby is due in October. I'm pretty happy with it and I think it will put a smile on my cousin's face, which is all that really matters. :)
Later gators!

Hey there!
Yesterday I was super busy and I didn't end up with a lot of time in the crafty room. With only half an hour to put a card together I was glad to have just gotten this Cat's Meow stamp set. I actually got it for the main image which is a large group of kitties all crowded together but this single peeking kitty totally caught my eye and stole my heart. So for a quick card with minimal coloring this little guy was the way to go. I wanted him to peek out a window with a fun mix of sentiment elements beneath. Clean and simple all the way. :)
Alrighty, I'm outta here. Have a good one!
