Extraordinarily happy...

Hello again!

It's a review at Sweet November Stamps and I was feeling like inking up the Spring Window again. This time I chose the excited little guy from the Postage Pals: Landscape set and the pudgy guinea pig to keep him company. After stamping the plant and guinea pig I masked them off and stamped the boy slightly higher up in the window so I wouldn't lose his hands behind them. This left a bit of space that I drew in by hand completing his shirt and his pants. I borrowed the sentiment from the Extraordinarily Happy set because it seemed to match this little cutie's energy.  :)

Thanks for popping by!

Big birthday wishes...

Hello!

It's Scenic Saturday on the Bellariffic blog and today we are celebrating a birthday with the Mini Oddball has a Present and Mini Oddball and His Frogs.

I wanted it to look like this cute pair have arrived at a party with their gifts in tow so I stamped Mini Oddball and His Frogs first then masked him off. Then I stamped Mini Oddball has a Present so that she slightly overlapped. Once I removed the mask she now appears to be standing slightly behind her brother. I also masked the party hat so that I could stamp the party streamers hanging on the wall behind them both. A simple white wall and wood floor for them to stand on and this party scene was complete. Hopefully the birthday kid really likes frogs, LOL! 

Stay crafty my friends!

Be a unicorn...

TGIF! 

I'm playing along in this month's challenge at The Greeting Farm and the theme this time is 'rule of threes'. These OG unicorns will forever have my heart and this particular cutie is from the Magical Day set. I paired her with some flowers from the Bouquet set to help create an enchanting meadow for this little unicorn to live in. I pulled the colorful striped paper before I started coloring so that I could color match back to it. To meet the requirement of the challenge I added three flowers as the final embellishments on the card. Now that I've colored up one, I've got a few more ideas that I want to do with the other sweet unicorns, sooner rather than later.  :)

Have a great weekend!

Best wishes...

Hey, hey!    

My yard is currently full of golden dandelions and even though they haven't gone to seed yet, they still inspired me to ink up this classic Wishing mouse from Purple Onion Designs. She is so sweet in her little dress and stockings as she makes a wish on that big dandelion. I know that dandelions are considered weeds but whenever I see them I think of a description I read once that said the humble dandelion represents the very heavens above. First as the golden sun, then transforming into a silvery moon before finally blowing away to fill the sky like stars. Isn't that magical? Thus why dandelions get to live wild and free in my yard. ;)

Later gators!

Our friendship...

Hello there!

This past weekend we added the enchanting Fairwee Petal Party digi collection to the Sweet November Stamps store and to celebrate I colored this adorable scene during my Saturday Live over on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. For this scene I paired up Gina with her camellia and Lolly with her daisy along with the coordinating flowers from the Petal Party Flowers set. All of the pretty pinks and purples were suggested by my fellow crafters and I love how bright the whole scene turned out. I can practically feel the sunshine.  :)

Hey, hey!

How sweet is this pretty little girl from the Sister Stamps range of stamps at Impronte d'Autore? I've been a long time fan of these stamps and I was actually able to order mine from Hanko Designs. This little sweetie is Rieko and she comes with the wisteria flowers that I used in the upper corner of the scene. I also grabbed the birds from the Misako set and the squirrel from the Kiyomi set to give her some friends to enjoy the spring sunshine with. :)

Toodles!

I'm here for you...

Good morning!

This is the last card that I made for the Spring release at Stamping Bella. I couldn't stay away from the Spring Bundle Girl Peekers but this time I only used one of them and stamped her into the Window. It was the perfect fit and I love how it looks like she is just popping by to say hello. I colored a sunny spring day behind this Spring Bundle Girl Peeker and stamped a decorative background on the wallpaper of the room she is looking in to. All of which comes together into a sweet heart warming scene.

Have a great week!
