'Tis the Season with SP & Company

Hi ya everyone!  Today, I'm sharing a sweet card I created using the adorable Cardinal Cottage stamp from Tina Wenke found at SP & Company.  The sentiment is also from SP & Company and comes with the Carollers Stamp Set.  I colored the image in my Copic markers and used paper from the Echo Park 'Tis the Season 6x6 paper stack.  I hope you'll come over to the SP blog for our new theme, Christmas cards.  I made one that was simple so I could repeat it for other cards!  I love a simple design at Christmas.

What's Up?

Hi ya everyone!  Today, I have the sweetest new image to share with you from Tiddly Inks!  Meet On Top of the World.  She's only $1.50 right now too!  I paired her with Echo Park's paper Perfect Summer.  The sentiment is also from a Tiddly Inks clear stamp Anna Belle Flying High.  I colored her in my Copics and I think I need to work on the hair a bit...I had a hard time!  Always room for improvement!

Thanksgiving Blessings with SP & Company

Hi ya everyone!  There's a new theme at SP & Company this week.  Giving Thanks!  I made this creation using the adorable Mouse with Cornucopia.  This little guy was so fun to color especially with all that scrumptious food.  The sentiment is part of the stamp set too!  The buttons are gorgeous and are also from SP & Company.  The colors are clownfish, blue lagoon, walk the plank and summer sunshine.  I used my Copics to color this cutie!

Take Time to Celebrate with SP & Company

Hi ya everyone!  Today I have the sweetest little card to share with you using all SP & Company products.  I am in love with buttons lately and SP has a TON of gorgeous button colors.  I used Teeny Bikini, Lagoon Blue and Flamingo pink.  I colored the adorable Bird with Balloons image in Copics and paired it with a fabulous sentiment from the Bold Sentiments I stamp set.  The paper is Echo Park called Rough and Tumble.  Make sure to join us at SP & Company for our Celebrate Theme!

A Sweet and Sassy Whimsy Post!

Hi ya everyone!  I made this creation for the July Whimsy Stamps Magazine.  I love Elisabeth Bell images and there are so many beautiful ones at Whimsy Stamps.  I have to say that the sweetie above is one of my all time favorites though.  How adorable is the expression on her sweet face?  Wouldn't you say she's Sweet and Sassy.  I also used the perfect sentiment and die set from Raindrop Echo Designs, Contest Ribbons and Die set.  She was colored in Copics and Echo Park paper was used.  I hope you enjoyed today's post!

Happy Winter and a New Release at SP & Company

Hi ya everyone!  Today there is a new release at SP & Company.  This little cutie by Tina Wenke, Skating Penguin, was top on my must have list from all those adorable images.  I used my Copics to color him.  I also used the new Echo Park paper called Tis' the Season and Turtle Shell colored buttons.

Hope you'll stop by and see all the cute images at SP & Company.

Whimsy Stamps Circle of Friends Blog Hop for Bev!

Hi everyone and welcome to our
Circle of Friends blog hop
especially for our dear DT member and friend
Bev Rochester

Unfortunately, Bev has had to take a little break from crafting over the past few months due to ill health. We are missing her here at Whimsy and want to let her know that we are thinking about her and wishing her a speedy recovery.

Even though the Whimsy family is scattered all around the world, we have come together as a circle of friends to show Bev our love and support by each making her a card.

Although this hop is for Bev, we do hope you will hop along with us to support our wonderful teammate and friend. If you arrived here from Shelby's blog, then you are in the right place! If you’ve happened upon this post by chance and would like to hop with us, hop on over to the Whimsy Stamps blog to begin the hop.

For my creation, I decided to ink up the adorable Furry Friends stamp from 2 Cute Ink.  I thought a bright and sunny scene might cheer the wonderful and talented Bev. 

Now it's time for you to hop over to Patricia's blog.

Finally, here is a full hop list in hopping order:
