TGIF stampin' peeps!
Brrr, brrr, brrr! The temps here haven't risen above the mid twenties all week and I feel positively frozen. No new snow has fallen, knock on wood, but you can't go outside without feeling like it's the new ice age. I wouldn't be surprised to see a woolly mammoth strolling across the yard any day now. ;)
Anywho, I've got another card that I made earlier for the previews at All That Scraps this past week. This one features Li'l Lad Baby Frankie. These four Lolita tots from the January release are the first brand spankin' new designs to be made into rubber since they made the move to ATS from Tickled Pink Stamps and boy are they adorable! I think that little Frankie looks like he just woke up from a nap and is ready to play. And it was fun pairing him up with an older Basic Grey paper pad that has been waiting a long time to see some use... the distressing and darker colors just seemed to suit him well.
Alrighty, time for me to bundle up and get ready for another cold one. I hope you guys are staying a bit warmer! :)

Good morning!
Guess who got to go see The Hobbit on Sunday?! Oh yes it was me and I love, love, loved it! I suppose I should throw out a disclaimer that the LOTR trilogy is my most favorite movie/s of all time, so this isn't much of a leap, but I already can't wait for the second part of The Hobbit to come out. Seriously, I know that the movies are like three hours long but I could have kept on watching by the time the credits rolled. :)
As for today's card, I made this one earlier in the week for the new January CC Designs release. The stamp is actually Baby Bear Beatrice but I think the bear outfit makes for a pretty gender neutral image so I went with a boy card. The design is simple and sweet and it's not often that I get to pull out cute baby papers so it was fun to put the Doodlebug to work.
All of the January release stamps will be available tonight in the ATS store and there is still another day to get entered for a chance to win the Sweet November January stamps below.
I hope the new year is off to a great start for you! :)

So today we are actually going to travel into the world of Sweet November land to see what a magical fairy nursery is like. It's hidden away in the most lovely little garden on the edge of the misty meadows where the bumble bees act as nursemaids to their precious charges.
In the beds of roses bushes there are wee baby fairies tucked away in the leaves. Each one wrapped tight in gossamer swaddling. Over in the walnut grove the squirrels are rocking the baby fairies to sleep in their half shell cradles while the birds up above sing lilting lullabies. And over in the wild flower field where the sweet peas climb an old stone wall, you can spy fairy babies bobbing and swaying in the pea pods as a gentle breeze passes by. They are all so tiny and completely adorable, it's hard to resist the temptation of putting one in your pocket to take home. But those bumble bee nursemaids look as if they would give us a sting or two if we tried, so instead we will just have to be content with one lucky gal taking home a bit of fairy candy instead... take a look...

baby is sleeping as we tip toe into the Sweet November nursery.
Watching over the little bundle of joy are the Safari Nursery Pals. The
stuffed monkey is dangling from a shelf and making funny faces for laughs and giggles. While the
stuffed giraffe is using its long neck to peek into the crib. And the stuffed lion is keeping baby warm and cozy as they snuggle together. These warm and
fuzzy pals know that they have years ahead of them playing and
comforting sweet baby as he grows up and they couldn't ask for anything
more.
As we gently close the nursery door behind us there just so happens to be a bit of candy for one lucky crafter. Take a look...

Shhh... baby is sleeping as we tip toe into the Sweet November nursery. Watching over the little bundle of joy are the Forest Nursery Pals.

Olo!
Well, it was a no go on the movie yesterday. By 9am it was snowing and it didn't let up until the evening. I'm still determined to travel to Middle Earth so Jac and I will try to make the trip today, weather permitting.
As for today's card, I was recently introduced to a new digital stamp shop called Alicia's Crafty Corner. As soon as I saw those big, beautiful eyes I knew that I wanted to use Photographer Alicia blown up and cropped in a 'big head' style. Printing her out this size also made it super fun to color her hair as well.
And if this sweet face isn't enough incentive to check out these new digis then wait 'til you see the challenge that Alicia has going on right now. I'm entering this card into the open challenge which runs until January 7th and up for grabs is a Silhouette Portrait electronic cutting tool... talk about a WOW prize!
Alrighty, wish me luck that the snow stays away and I can make the trip to the movie safe and sound. I'm sure it will be worth the trouble but I'll admit there is a part of me that really wishes these movies came out earlier in the year when the weather is not an issue. ;)
Toodles!

Hidee ho!
I think that I was more tired than anything else yesterday so a bit of a sleep in did me good. No signs of that nasty cold taking me down any time soon. So far there aren't any signs of new snow falling today so I'm thinkin' I'll take advantage of my first Saturday off in months to finally go see The Hobbit.
As for my card, I'm not sure if I've inked up this Sweetheart Gorjuss Girl before or not but she was looking pretty cute so here she is. At first I didn't have much of a direction for the rest of the card but when I pulled out the 5th & Frolic paper pad and decided on this pink sheet with the cross stitch hearts everything else started to fall into place. The cool embroidery hoop stamps are new and I couldn't wait to give them a go. I have some pretty fond memories of my mom cross stitching all the time when I was little so whenever I see Aida cloth and needlework I think of her and my heart does smile. :)
Alrighty time for me to go get my hobbit on, LOL!
Laters!
