First Day digi release at Sweet November!

 

Hello friends!

It's been a minute but we are back with a new digital stamp release at Sweet November Stamps. The First Day collection is all about celebrating the back to school season with four cute kiddos to choose from as well as a wise teacher and friendly crossing guard. And don't think that we forgot to include some background builders to go with these little scholars, there is also lockers, desks and a chalk board to help you create the perfect back to school scenes.

First up we have First Day: Mrs. James welcoming First Day: Eliza to her class room. Behind them you can see the Teacher's Desk and Chalk Board with a special message for everybody's favorite teacher.

Next, First Day: Crossing Guard Tony is out front of the school every morning to make sure that the students all arrive safe and sound for another day of learning. At the moment he is ushering First Day: Tanner and First Day: Lainey across the cross walk... no dilly dallying Tanner!
 

Finally for today we have First Day: Kenny and First Day: Eliza hanging out in front of their lockers before class starts.

Now be sure to check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook for even more First Day fun from the rest of our talented design team. Also, don't forget, I will be coloring Live today at 11am PDT over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page and I hope to see ya there!

 

Dropping you a line...

TGIF! 

I'm heading back to the lake today, with these cute critters from the Fishing Buddies set at Hello Bluebird. I paired this duo of fishing friends with the Skating Pond Scene die, though I didn't use the scene die in the traditional way. Because I still wanted to do my usual background coloring, I used a scrap piece of card stock to cut it out then I traced the tree and shoreline pieces, using a brown multi liner pen, directly onto the card front. It really was a pretty quick and easy way to get a background started. Next, I added the fish and lily pads before coloring up the entire scene. The final touch was adding the sentiment that is also part of the Fishing Buddies set. I've been having so much fun with this release that it is going to be sad seeing summer come to an end. ;)

Have a good one!

The summer sun...

Hey friends! 

I made this card for my July Pen Pal at Sweet November Stamps last month and I'm hoping she has received it by now. This pool scene was put together using stamps from the Sunny Smiles and Water Park Party sets that released last summer. The cute kiddo here is soaking in the sunshine as the water sparkles all around her. The ripples in the water were created by using a stencil and the Copic air brush system.  I completed the card using a sentiment from Papertrey Ink that sent the perfect message to my Pen Pal. :)

Hope your day is a good one!
