Holds my heart...

Hi friends! 

I recently received my stamps from the Love Notes release at Hello Bluebird and as always, I couldn't wait to get inky. The cute critters from the Candy Hearts set looked to be the perfect size to use with the Santa Postage die, especially when I inked up just the top half of the adorable mole so that it looks like he is popping out of the ground. I did my best to color the candy hearts they are holding in the same soft pastels that the real candies come in, then I stamped the massages in red ink. The postage themed finishing touches came from the Postage Collage Valentine set from Waffle Flower and the Year Round Post Marks from Sweet November Stamps. The sentiment is from the Kissing Booth set and I thought it went perfect with these heart holding cuties.  :)

Later gators!

Fairy dust wishes...

Hey, hey!

The first of four Fae-bruary Fairy digis just released at Sweet November Stamps. Each Wednesday of this month, a new fairy will be added to the store and a weekly fairy themed challenge will be added in the Friends of Sweet November Stamps Facebook group. For this first week we are introducing Winsome Sparkledust, a coy little fairy full of sweetness and delight. Because she is seated on a mushroom I paired her with more mushrooms from the Toadstool Background set. I then proceeded to color her into a fresh spring scene full of blue skies, happy clouds and pretty purple toadstools. With such a cute look on her face, I can practically hear her high, tinkling voice say, "Why, hello there".  ;)

 So be sure to to check out Winsome Sparkledust, and who knows... maybe you'll want to use her to participate in the Sweet November Fae-bruary challenges.  ;)

Toodles!

The Purrrfect friend...

Good morning!

Saturday was a review at Sweet November Stamps and during my Live over on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page I shared some sneak peeks from the clear release coming on February 7th. This is the scene that we colored up and I paired the girl and cat from the older Postage Pals: Portrait set with the soon to be released Spring Window set. It is a fun scene builder set that creates more opportunities to use all of the cute kiddos from the various Postage Pals sets. After the Live was over I added a sentiment from the Kitty Cuddles set as a final finishing touch to the card. 

Don't forget that not only do we have a clear release this month but it is also Fae-bruary so be watching the store for some mid-week digi magic flying into the store every week.  ;)

Thanks for popping by!

My heart is full...

Hello again!

As the team and I are gearing up to start sharing sneak peeks of the upcoming clear release later in the week, I thought it would be fun to give you a bit of an early preview of one of the new sets today. There is a new add on set designed to go with the Front Porch Background and it is called Front Porch Spring Decor. The set includes both Valentine and Easter themed items to decorate with. I used the Valentine items on this card featuring the lovely SN Gal Val posing in front of her home. She has gone all out with the happy hearts theme and can't wait for her big date night. The sentiment is from another new set that is on its way called, Ruffles and Roses. If you would like to see more sneak peeks today, join me during my Live coloring at 11am PST over on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page, where we will be creating with another mix of old and new.  ;)

Laters!
