Around the campfire...

Hello! 

I'm still working my way through all of the scenes that I stamped up using stamps from the Great Outdoors release at Hello Bluebird. This fun night scene is centered around the raccoon, beaver and fox from the Campfire Stories set. I did some masking to gather them all around the campfire and then I added the big tree trunk and bushes from the Pathway Background and the smaller tree and tree stump from the Forest Fawns set behind them. The rest of the forest scene was colored by hand in twilight hues. I always enjoy coloring a fire lit scene and adding the warm glow that it casts to everyone around it. Afterwards, I stamped in the music notes to help tell the story of these friendly critters singing campfire songs on a warm summer night.  :)

Have a good one!  :)

Happiness comes in waves...

Good morning!

Because this past Saturday was a bonus review day at Sweet November Stamps, I was able to take on a request and share how I color a large ocean wave during the Live coloring on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page. This cute surfer girl from the Summer on the Go: Surfing digi set was the perfect choice for the scene, especially since I wanted to have another go at coloring a tie dye print. Now, the Summer on the Go: Surfing kiddos do come with a small wave drawn in behind them but since we wanted to go big I cropped off the small wave before printing her out, leaving me with the entire card front to fill with a spectacular wave. Not only were we able to add some sunshine filtering through the water and create her tie dye tankini but we also added a fun tropical print to her beloved surf board as well. I'm so glad that we had time to make this cute card happen and who knows what kind of coloring adventures we will get into next Saturday.  ;)

Have a great week!

Hi friends!

It's another review weekend at Sweet November Stamps and since today is the last day to take advantage of the Christmas in July sale I thought it would be fun to create a Christmas card. The sale is 25% OFF all Christmas themed digital stamps and 20% OFF all Christmas themed clear stamps, plus placing a sale order also gets you the exclusive Candy Cane Kisses digi stamp for free. 

This festive under the sea Christmas scene combines Mimi and her crab pal from the Merwee Shellebration: Mimi digi set with the tree and gifts from the Angelina and her Seaweed Christmas Tree digi set. This is yet another card front that I've had printed out and sitting on my desk for a few years and now it feels like it was just waiting for the perfect time to remind everyone about the holiday sale, LOL! :)

Toodles!
