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!

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.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

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!

You're invited to the Petal Party!

 

Hello friends!

Sweet November Stamps is inviting you to a Fairwee Petal Party for this weekend's digi release. Five adorable fairwees are happily swinging, drifting, and dancing through the sky with their favorite flowers. There is Cher with her mum, Dotty with her sunflower, Ellie with her poppy, Gina with her camellia and Lolly with her daisy. There is also a Petal Party Flowers set and for the next three days there is a special deal in the store where if you buy the entire Petal Party collection you get the Petal Party Flowers set for free.  

My first card is a mini slimline where I paired Ellie and Lolly together and surrounded them with extra falling flowers from the Petal Party Flowers set. Of course I had to color the poppies into my favorite orange California Poppies. I love how sunny and cheery they look, especially with the bright white daisies.

My next card is another mini slimline and this one finds Cher and Gina floating on the breeze surrounded by colorful blooms from the Petal Party Flowers set.

Finally, Dotty is all on her own as she is surrounded by golden sunflowers. Both Dotty and the flowers shine like the sun against that beautiful blue sky. So much happiness in one simple little card. :) 

Now be sure to check out the Friends of Sweet November Stamps group on Facebook for even more Petal Party cuteness 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!

 

Howdy...

TGIF!

Last Sunday I did a Live coloring on the Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page celebrating the Spring release at Stamping Bella. I thought it would be fun to take one of the new Oddball Zodiac girls and create a non astrological themed card with her. I settled on Oddball Zodiac Aries with her ram and paired them both with the older Cowboy Backdrop for a down on the farm scene. Before stamping Aries I wiped the ink off of the star constellation on her shirt and the symbol necklace she is wearing, which left me with a blank shirt and the option to turn the necklace string into a shirt collar. It's such a simple alteration and it really opens up the possibilities with these quirky Oddballs. After the Live, I found the perfect greeting in the Country Western Sentiment set and stamped it on a speech bubble die cut to complete the card.

Have a great weekend!
