One amazing friend...

Good morning!

I've been holding off on sharing this card to see if my March PenPal had received it yet. She hasn't posted in the Friends of Sweet November Stamps Facebook group but I'm hopeful that it has arrived by now. The theme for the swap was fairies and I thought it would be cute to place Milly and Tia from the Fairy Cute Day digi collection on the Mushroom Tree Background that was a prize during this year's Faebruary challenges. Being digital stamps I could easily resize each of them to fit perfectly on their individual mushroom caps. It looks like these two besties have met up in their favorite spot for a magical day together. :)

Have a good one!

Happy Easter...

A very happy Easter to all my friends who are celebrating today!

Yesterday we introduced the Spring Woodland digi release at Sweet November Stamps. So for my Live coloring on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page I paired up Spring Woodland Alice and Bird with the bunny from the Spring Woodland Fawn, Bunny and Hedgehog set for one final Easter card. The Spring Woodland Background sets the scene and I was able to share how I create the atmospheric effect in the sky. I love all of the great color suggestions that came in and they all came together into a very pretty wrap up to this Easter season. I hope you are enjoying some delicious chocolate eggs on this joyful day!  :)

Toodles!

Spring Woodland digi release at Sweet November!

 

Hello friends!

We are celebrating the beauty of Spring with the latest digi release at Sweet November Stamps. The flowers are in full bloom and we've got four sets of cute critters and characters that have been busy picking bouquets in the Spring Woodland. The collection includes the Spring Woodland Background, Spring Woodland Squirrel, Cub and Raccoon, Spring Woodland Fawn, Bunny and Hedgehog, Spring Woodland Chipmunk, Fox and Skunk and Spring Woodland Alice and Bird.

My first card finds the Squirrel, Cub and Raccoon gathered together in the Spring Woodland clearing which they have picked clean of all its wildflowers.

 

Next, the Fawn, Bunny and Hedgehog are delighted to find that the flowers they've collected are attracting delicate and colorful butterflies to their corner of the Woodland.

 

It looks like the Chipmunk, Fox and Skunk are comparing their bouquets to see whose is the most beautiful, only to decide that they are all uniquely wonderful just like themselves.

 

Finally, little Alice has wandered into the Woodland adding flowers to her ever growing bouquet. A little bird has joined her and is bringing a gift of one last little blossom.

 

Now be sure to check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook for even more Spring Woodland sweetness 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!

 
 
 

Hello Spring...

TGIF!

When I pulled out the Bunnies and Robin set from Colorado Craft Company last week, I also spotted the Tiny Birds Worm set and had an idea to combine the two. The extra bird stamp in the Bunnies and Robin set was perfect to become a mama bird to these little ones. I even added the worm from the Tiny Birds Worm set to her beak. For the extra branches in the upper corner I repeatedly stamped the branch with the nest, minus the nest. With the smaller space on this die cut, that was all I needed to complete this charming spring scene.

Have a great weekend!
