Well Hello There

Well, hello there!  I hope you’re having a fabulous week.  My brother is visiting from Michigan, and it has definitely resulted in a fabulous week in this household!  I haven’t had much crafty time, but I’m excited to share this darling Cheeky Girl from The Greeting Farm.  I’ve had this paper in my stash for awhile now, and I found it to be the perfect background for my guest of honor.  A very clean and simple design, but I’m so happy with the outcome!
And finally, be sure to peruse the The Greeting Farm selection at 7 Kids.  This particular stamp is not available, but I think you’ll find all kinds of crafty inspiration in the store.
Short and sweet post today, my friends.  Thank you, thank you, for stopping by!

Hello There Pixies

Sooo excited to share with you that the Sweet November Vault is open, and these sweet Tadpole Pixies are available for the next week at the 7 Kids Store!  Meet Phoebe, Polly, and Lily.  Aren’t they the cutest?  Love their long gangly legs, and the big smiles on their faces.  These beauties sell separately, but the joy with digital stamps is the layout options you’re afforded.  I thought it would be fun to turn these three into a Tadpole Pixie Team United!
They were a blast to create with, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome!  Hope you enjoy, and have a great rest of your week!

Just Sitting Here

Hello there!  I hope you’re enjoying your Sunday.  If you’re in a part of the country that is experiencing extreme heat, my wish for you is that you’re in an air conditioned room surrounded by crafty inspiration! 

I have a quick post for you today.  I couldn’t put my Hello Bluebird stamps away yet, and ended up combining the “Field Mice” and “Strawberry Jam” sets to create this little scene.  Melissa Andrew’s post was my inspiration for this card.  She made a beautiful tunnel card with these stamps.

Are these mice the cutest, or what?  I kept it very CAS because, well, because that’s what my crafty heart chose to do this morning!  You know, it’s important to follow your heart in these matters! 

Both of these sets are available at 7 Kids.  Just click on the above links if you simply can’t resist... lol!  

Thank you, as always, for stopping by my blog.... so appreciated!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

You’re So Kind

TGIF!  I love Fridays, and am looking forward to a little fun in the sun this weekend!
Today I’ve colored Hello Bluebird’s Banner Buddies and Die cut set that I purchased from 7 Kids.  Unfortunately, it’s not currently available at the store, but there’s still a fabulous selection of HB images and companion dies.  I haven’t created with a HB image yet that I haven’t just adored.  They are so darn cute!
There were a few bits and pieces to cut and color with this project, but it was worth it.  I’m so pleased with the outcome, and it truly expresses the gratitude I want to share with the lovely person that will be receiving this card!
I hope you enjoy, and that you’ll get a chance to enjoy your weekend as well!

Happy Birthday

Amazing how a loved one’s birthday can inspire a card maker!  I adored this Stamping Bella Curvy Girl since the moment I laid eyes on her!  But my dear friend, the soon to be recipient of this card, was the catalyst that inspired me to get her colored up. The colors and design are a reflection of my friend, and it makes me think of her every time I look at it.  And I love how Stamping Bella’s stamps give you a great head start to a beautiful outcome just by getting the image on paper!  It all started with this lovely design paper that screamed my friend, and the rest easily fell into place.  I’m happy with the CAS design, and the less than common colors I chose.
Be sure to check out Stamping Bella, and all the lovely crafty inspiration at the 7 Kids Craft Store!  See you next round, and thank you for stopping by!

Sprinkled With Love

Hi there!  I’m on a bit of a Dreamerland trend with my crafty projects lately, but how can you not love these sweet images?  Today I’ve colored “Caring For My Little Ones”, and it was too much fun.  I saw an illustration of an outdoor scene that included a picket fence, so thought I’d give it a try!  And I wanted to make sure this cutie didn’t get lost in that great big landscape, so I thought a patterned dress would help her stand out.  And I think it helped, for sure!  And finally, my friend Amy helped me break up the rolling hills by placing a beautiful row of trees.  I couldn’t be more pleased!  I think this sweet caregiver found a lovely spot to feed her little ones.
And, of course, there is a great selection of Dreamerland Crafts stamps at the 7 Kids Store, which offers an abundance of inspiration!
Have a good one, my friends!

To A Wonderful Friend

Happy day before the 4th of July!  It’s definitely a busy time of year, and I’m so grateful to be staying  close to home this year.  More time to get crafty!
I’m up at 7 Kids today, and I chose to color Dreamerland’s “Bonding Time” from their second 2016 release.  A sweet little image of a girl loving on her dog.  The perfect scene to share with a loved one, don’t you think?  I usually start by coloring the little characters first, as they provide inspiration for the type of background I want to go with.  But I wanted this little cutie to have black hair, so I decided to ensure the background was done first, so black wouldn’t pull into the sky and grass.  A simple little scene, filled with all the good feels!
Be sure to check out the Dreamerland Crafts selection at the 7 Kids Craft Store.  I think you’ll love them!  And I hope you have a lovely 4th!
