Summer wishes...

TGIF!

This sweet summer scene is another one that I found when I was going through the stack of stamped and ready to color card fronts that I keep on the corner of my desk. Even though Dreamerland Crafts is no longer in business, I still adore the Dreamerland stamps that I have in my stash and this free spirited little guy is called Swinging Away. I always imagined him swinging into a lake on a hot summer day, so to help create the background I masked the boy off before stamping the Art Impressions Lake House behind him. Now this cutie is busy filling his summer vacation days with adventure and wonder. The sentiment I used to complete the card is from Papertrey Ink. It sure feels great to be making a dent in that stack of projects again.  :)

Have a great weekend!

Sweet heart...

Hey there!

Even though Dreamerland Crafts is no longer in business, I still adore the Dreamerland stamps that I have in my stash. This cute couple called Comforting Friends, has been in the stack of stamped and ready to color card fronts that I keep on the corner of my desk for at least a few years. Their sweet pose and little bouquet of flowers made them perfect for a Valentine's Day card. Before coloring, I decided to mask them off and add the house and trees from Art Impressions behind them. Having that cozy cottage off in the distance really adds to the overall story. The sentiment is from an old Simon Says Stamp set and I used a pink ink on the heart before stamping the rest in black to add to the sweetness. I gotta say, it feels like I am really making a dent in that stack of images this year and we are still in January, woot, woot! ;)

Alrighty, well thanks so much for stopping by today!

Sending you every happiness...

Hey there!

I found this Let's Explore cutie from Dreamerland Crafts in the stack of stamped and ready to color card fronts that I keep on the corner of my desk and figured it was the perfect time to finally get her on a card. I had even had the foresight to stamp a mask and stick it to the card stock so all I had to do was cut it out and re-apply it before easily adding the covered bridge from Art Impressions behind her. She looks so sweet and happy while she is out exploring the great wide world beyond her back yard. The sentiment is from a May Favorite Things set and I left enough space in the grassy field for it to fit right there in front of her. I gotta say, it feels like I am really making a dent in that stack of images this year, woot, woot! ;)
