A Wee bit of Inspiration!

Hi ya everyone!  I'm excited to tell you that I'm a guest designer this month for Sylvia Zet and Wee Stamps.  I have to be honest, I love these adorable characters that Sylvia the artist and owner of Wee designs.  They are simply the sweetest.  Since I'm a member of the Whimsy Magazine Design team I get to work with Wee Stamps all the time in rubber.  Did you know they come as digitals too?  All month I'll be sharing cards with Wee stamps on the blog.

The above creation was made for Issue 9 of the Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Magazine.  I used the adorable Fluffy Hanging in There and a number of fun embellishments including moon and star charm, ornate corners and the sentiment from the Party Mini Letter Seals.

Thanks for stopping by today and make sure to head over the Wee Stamps blog all month long!

You and Me - New Release at Tiddly Inks

Hi ya everyone! There is a NEW and adorable release at Tiddly Inks this week!  This is just one of the many new images released called Love Fully!  I happened to use the clear stamp set but you can also purchase this gorgeous set in digital!

I colored the image in Copics and used some paper from the My Mind's Eye paper pad Ruby.  The ticket stamps from Whimsy called You're Invited were stamped in Versamagic ink and fussy cut.  The flowers are mostly from Wild Orchard.  The adorable heart is a charm that the lovely Christy Croll sent me!  Make sure to check out the new release images at Tiddly Inks!

Hello Friend with Elisabeth Bell

Hi ya everyone!  Today I want to share this adorable card I made using the ever-so-sweet Elisabeth Bell image Li'l Montana.  I colored her with my Copics and used an Echo Park paper from the Sweet Day pad.  The sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs, A Touch of Elegant Furniture.  My favorite newly discovered item from Whimsy is the lace you see in the background.  I love lace but often hate pulling out my glue gun to adhere it to my creation.  Did you know Whimsy carries a number of awesome lace tapes?  LOVE them and the one I used on this card is called Lace Tape White No. 8.  I hope you enjoyed today's creation and join us for the new release next week!
