A Sketch and Some Love

Happy Friday!

Hope you all had a fabulous week! It was another very cold one here. I tell you, I wish this winter was done already! I am so in need of warmth and sunshine.


Today is new challenge day over at both Just Magnolia and Stamp Something. First up is my Just Magnolia card. This week we have a sketch by the super talented Mina. At first I was a bit unsure how to tackle this sketch but now that I've made my card, I know I will use it again! Thanks Mina! Remember to use either a Magnolia or Hanglar image on your creation to be eligible for the blog candy prize.

I've paired Mina's sketch with some Bo Bunny and My Minds Eye papers. I've stitched the edges and then distressed just a bit. The image is a Hanglar my friend Deb (if you are reading this Deb, miss ya! Hope to catch up soon!) shared with me a while back and she was colored with Copics. I then cut her out and adhered her to the embossed oval centerpiece. I've embellished with ribbons, flowers, a button and twine, and then stamped a small postmark sentiment on the top right corner. This sentiment is part of the new Whimsy Postage Stamp set.

This card fits the challenges at:
Fab 'n' Funky - tempting texture/use texture
Stampavie and More - buttons & lace



Next up is my Stamp Something card and our challenge this week is "Something for your Valentine" or just simply to create something for Valentines or with a love theme. We are sponsored this week by Whiff of Joy so I've gone with a sweet image illustrated by Elisabeth Bell.

The papers are Fancy Pants and perfect for Valentine's. I've colored the image with Copics and then framed with my Nesties (forget the correct name). I've embellished with ribbon, flowers, and sticky gems.

This card fits the challenges at:
Crafts and Me  - red
Creative Craft World - love
Scrapbook Sisters - my Valentine
Sliekjes Card Challenges - love
Stampin' Royalty - hearts
Tiffany Doodles  - Valentine's
Everybody-Art-Challenge - Valentine
Tiddly Inks  - love is in the air

Thanks so much for dropping on over today. I hope you have a wonderful Friday and an even better weekend. Don't forget to check out the Whimsy Blog Hop - which is still in full swing - lots of eye candy to see and prize chances to enter!

Going Dotty in Winter

Good Morning and Happy Friday!

What a busy, busy week and brrrrr, so cold too! Hope you have been having a good week and that it's warmer than it is here. It was a high of 5 the other day! To say that I won't miss winter is an understatement! Spring can't get here soon enough!


Today is new challenge day over at Just Magnolia and Stamp Something. And this week I have combined these challenges to create my DT card. At JM the challenge is "Going Dotty" and at SS our theme is "Winter" so I've used this sweet Tilda in her winter best and combined her with some dotty papers!

These papers are Bo Bunny Tis the Season, which I love and will be very sad when I've used them all up! I've stitched the edges on the sewing machine and then used the sketch from Papertake Weekly when assembling the card. The image was colored with Copics and cut out and adhered to a dry embossed circle frame created with Nesties. I've embellished with sticky gems, ribbon, and a snowflake made with the Whimsy Stamps Winter's Jewel 1 die.

This card also fits over at:
Creative Belli - anything beginning with "P"(pretty papers)
Paper Pretties - sewing
Penny's Paper-Crafty – anything goes
Sisterhood of Crafters - anything goes
My Time To Craft - embossing

Thanks so much for dropping by today. I will be back tomorrow with a special post for a special person! Until then, have a great Friday!

Winter's Joy

Happy Tuesday!

Hope you're having a great week! We've been busy getting back into the routine of life since our holiday vacation. Slowly but surely things are returning back to normal. Hope you are finding your way back to normal too.


Today I want to share a card I created using the Whimsy Stamp's Winter's Joy from our Crissy Armstrong Collection. This is my first time coloring her up, but I know it won't be my last!

I decided I wanted to make a Valentine's themed card with pink and red so I took out my new Bo Bunny papers, thanks Janna! The edges have been stitched on the sewing machine and I've used the sketch from this week's Sunday Sketch and Stamp challenge. I've colored the image with Copics and then framed with Oval Nesties. Then added some glittery touches with Stickles. I've finished off with flowers, sticky pearls, a glitter heart and button with a sentiment from the Friendship Ticket set.

This card also fits the challenges over at:
Papertake Weekly...Anything Goes
Bunny Zoe's Crafts ....Sparkle and Shine
Crafty Emma...Anything Goes
Stamp Insanity....Sparkle
Sentimental Sundays...Friendship
Sundays with Crissy...Winter is Here

Thanks so much for dropping by today! Hope you have a fabulous afternoon!

Timestamp: 2010-12-30 14:18:23 UTC
That would be #40 - Tracey! Congrats to you Tracey! Please contact me to claim your prize!



Now for a card to share too...this is one using the new Whimsy Stamp "I'd Follow You Anywhere" and I just love it! I've been afraid to color this one as I'm not great with the white polar bear coloring, but I've been visiting Crissy's blog and getting some inspiration. You MUST stop by and see her gorgeous cards, you will be happy you did!

I've used some Bo Bunny Tis the Season papers with stitching and glitter on the edges. The image was colored with copics and a white gel pen, then I added more glitter accents. I've embellished with a glitter heart cut from a die and the Big Shot, some snowflakes and gems, and ribbon. The sentiment is from Whimsy's Love Letter Seals.

Thanks again to all who entered my candy and big congrats again to Tracey! Hope you all have a great Thursday!

One for Fun

Please scroll down or click HERE to enter my Thank You blog candy - Open until December 30th!

Good Morning All!

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! We had a lovely Christmas and Santa spoiled us good! And yesterday we were snowed in with a blizzard so everything is white and pretty! Now getting back into the normal routine, well that is taking some time! lol

I did do some crafting yesterday, it felt good to get crafty. My resolution this year will be to take a few minutes each day and do something for me - hopefully crafting. We'll see if I can stick to that! What are your resolutions this year?


Elisabeth Bell is holding a GDT call for her digital stamp line and I love her stamps, so I thought I would make a card and give it a shot. It's been a long time since I've tried out for a design call, but I want to get motivated in the New Year to do more with my crafting so I thought this was a good way to start!Plus it was fun just to create a card for fun.

This is my card using the digital image "Ginnie, Gliding with Butterflies" isn't she sweet! I was in the mood for a non-Christmas card and a chance to use some new Bo Bunny papers. The papers have been stitched on the sewing machine and then I used the sketch from the Digi Bells DT call. There were two options for the sketch and I think this one fit the image better. I've printed the image on Neenah paper and then colored with Copics. The card has been embellished with sticky gems, ribbon, and flowers with some gem stamens.

This card also fits some challenges:
My Time to Craft: Brand New (this digi is new)
Die Cut Dreams: Girlie
Allsorts: Anything Goes

Thanks so much for dropping by today. I hope you have a great Tuesday!

Whimsy New Release - KennyK Collection

Hello and Happy Thursday!

Whimsy Stamps has some excitiing news to share with you today - we have a new rubber artist joining our team.... KENNY KIERNAN!


As many of you will know, KennyK is currently a digital stamp artist (amongst many other things) and although Whimsy will not be carrying any KennyK digis, we are making some of Kenny's existing designs into rubber and then hopefully adding some new designs along the line that will be exclusive to the Whimsy rubber collection!

So to celebrate this wonderful new venture, the Whimsy Stamps DT plus our fab special Whimsy guests Elaine Hughes, Deb, and Janna, are holding a BLOG HOP to showcase the EIGHT images that are being made into rubber:

All That
Devilish Donna
Download Diva
Kitty Katastrophe
Luscious Linda
Movie Star
Rock Chick
Troublemaker

The rubber stamps are available to PRE-ORDER today from the Whimsy store, and will hopefully be in stock and start shipping right after the Christmas holiday! We expect these stamps to arrive and begin shipping during the week of the 27th. 

Our super-talented Ann, of Raindrop Echo Designs, has designed some wonderful digital sentiments, "Fast Lane Sentiments", that work fabulously with these images - thank you Ann! These are also being released today and can be found in the Raindrop Echo Designs Digi Collection!

If you would like to participate in the hop and you didn't arrive here from VICKI's blog, please CLICK HERE to return to the beginning of the hop at Simonne's blog.  The hop started today (Thursday December 16th at noon EST) and ends on Thursday December 23rd at noon EST.

Now on to my creations for this hop using the new KennyK stamps! 


I have created two cards for the hop today, one using "Troublemaker" and the other using "All That". First up is Troublemaker....

I think she's one of my favorite image from this new release. I just love her pretty eyes and playful smile. I've colored the image with Copics. The papers are Bo Bunny, but I forget which collection name they come from. I've distressed the edges with scissors and then embellished with brads, ribbons, flowers, and a tag sentiment from Ann's Fast Lane set.



Next up is my card using "All That"...isn't she fun! She's so sassy and cool!

I've used some BG Olivia papers on this card with black card stock to make it all pop! The image was colored with Copics. I've embellished simply with ribbon and a gemstone charm.

OK, you've reached the end of our new release hop today. You can enter for a chance to win all 8 of the new stamps, by clicking on the blue frog below and adding your name and link below. If you missed the start of the hop and want to join in, there is a link list below of all the stops!

A Couple of Christmas Cards

Happy Friday!!

I am very happy it's almost the weekend. I have loads to get done with my holiday shopping and I'm looking forward to some family time too. Hope you all have a great one!

Today is new challenge day over at Stamp Something and Just Magnolia. The challenges at both are pretty easy too, so we hope you will join in and have some fun with us.



At JM our challenge is to simply make a Christmas card using your favorite holiday Magnolia stamps. Show us your holiday cheer and you could win a fab prize from Quixotic Paperie!

For my card I've used this sweet Tilda with her unwrapped present and some BasicGrey Jovial papers and my new Whimsy Stamps Music Notes background stamp to create my own paper.  I also used a paper doily for an added layer. The image was colored with Copics and cut out and adhered to the music note layer. I've embellished with lace, ribbon, flowers, and a sentiment from the Whimsy Winter Letter Seals set.

This card fits the challenges at:
Fab 'n' Funky - Christmas for children
Stampavie and More - Christmas
Cute Card Thursday: Floral Frenzy


Next is my card for the new SS challenge which this week is Go Digi! It's our monthly digital challenge and all you need to do to participate is use something digi on your project. We have 5 fab sponsors this week and 5 fab prizes up for grabs!


For my card I've used an image from Digi Doodle Shop, which is one of our sponsors. This is Christmas Door and it's been colored with Copics and then I added some glitter and flocking to create some faux snow. The papers are Bo Bunny and have been distressed with scissors. I finished off with some ribbon and flower embellishments.

This card also fits at:
Cooking It Up With Katie - Christmas, red and some layers

A Holiday Color Combo with Some Sparkle

Happy Friday!

Doing the happy dance that the weekend is almost here! It's been a busy week and I am tired! Hoping to get my holiday shopping started this weekend too. Starting to sweat it here as I've not done anything yet and we are what 22 days away now! Hope you all have some fun things planned for your weekend.


Today brings new challenges to both Just Magnolia and Stamp Something! We hope you will visit and play along with us this week, great prizes to win for both of these challenges. I have decided to combine the challenges for one card as time has been tight lately. The challenge at JM this week is our special monthly challenge sponsored by Simon Says Stamp and the theme is Anything Goes or Sparkle! Yep, you guessed it, I went with the sparkle! And over at SS our challenge is to use your favorite holiday color combo, so pretty easy to do with the holidays fast approaching. Our sponsor at SS this week is Kut4U!

I went with the color combo of blue and red from these beautiful Bo Bunny papers. I've stitched the edges on the sewing machine and then sprayed all the layers with glimmer mist. The image was colored with copics and then cut out and glued to the snowflake embossed white layer. I've embellished with ribbon, eyelets, snowflakes and gems, a heart with twinklets, and a Happy Holidays ticket from Whimsy with more twinklets.

This card also fits these challenges:

And speaking of Christmas, I have created another holiday card to share with you today. I still have quite a few I need to make for this year's Christmas list, so you'll be seeing more holiday themed cards in the days and weeks to come. How are your holiday cards coming along? I find them to be some of the most fun to create.

This is a Whiff of Joy gnome which has been colored with Copics and then framed with Oval Nesties. I have used some Bo Bunny papers and then added faux stitching with a white gel pen to all the red card stock layers. The final touches were some polka dotted organdy ribbon, a tag with a sentiment from Whimsy Stamps Winter Letter Seals set, more ribbon, and flowers.

Just Magnolia - A Sketch

Good Morning and Happy Friday!

So who is out shopping today and taking advantage of all the "Black Friday" sales and specials? Did you get up before dawn? I have never done that, not brave enough I guess! Not sure what our plans are today, but we have no work and no school, so it should be great! Hope you have a lovely Friday!


Today is new challenge day over at Just Magnolia! This week we have a fab sketch by our talented DT member Donalda. I know this is one sketch I will be using again too, thanks Donalda! Be sure you also use a Magnolia image when playing along!

I have created another holiday card. I think these are my most favorite cards to make. I have been having so much fun with all the beautiful holiday papers and stamps and embellishments. I think I will be sad when the holiday season is over! For this card I used Hanging Tilda and colored her in red and white and then added some snowy glitter to her little treat pouch. The papers are Bo Bunny and I've embellished with snowflake die cuts, glitter, and a big red rose.

This card also fits the challenges at:
A Spoonful Of Sugar - anything goes
Paper Take Weekly - cut it out
Stamps R Us - sparkle and scallops
Crafty Pad - red and gree
Simon Says Stamp - Let It Snow

Thanks for coming on by today. We hope to see you over at Just Magnolia. And remember the Stamp Something challenge from last week is a two week challenge, so no new challenge this week, but still plenty of time to enter!  Have a great weekend!

Thankful and White

Good Morning and Happy Friday!

It's been another busy week, but I did manage to make a couple of cards for Just Magnolia and Stamp Something this week. I was sad to miss out last week, so I made sure to take a break this week and get some crafting done. Looking forward to a relaxing weekend too and hoping to craft a bit more!


Our challenge at Stamp Something this week is "thankful somethings" in honor of the upcoming US Thanksgiving holiday next week. We are also running this challenge for 2 weeks, so you have plenty of time to enter. The prize this week is a $20 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp!

For my card I have used a bunch of Whimsy Stamps products, starting with the new Holiday Folly papers created by Ann and Crissy. They are beautiful and perfect for holiday/winter creations. I stitched the edges on the sewing machine and then sprayed with Glimmer Mist and added some Stickles dots too. The image is N'ice Friends illustrated by Crissy from our winter collection last year. I've colored with Copics and then highlighted with some Twinklets (thanks Erin!). I embellished this card with beautiful snowflakes created with our new Whimsy Shapeology Die Winter's Jewel 1, created by Crissy. I love how intricate and delicate this snowflake is. I cut them from white card stock and then covered with Star Dust stickles (which you can buy at Simon Says). The ticket was cut with our new Shapeology Ticket Die and the blank ticket from the Holiday Ticket Set and "thank you" from Oval Snippets.

This card also fits challenges at:
Allsorts - sketch
Fab 'n' Funky - forgotten stamp or digi
Paper Pretties - thank you
Simon Says Stamp - sparkle
Stampin' Royalty - patterned paper
Caardvarks - holiday cards using die cuts
Creative Card Crew  - give thanks




Next up is my card for the new JM challenge and this week we want to see lots of White with only one other color. You can color your image with other colors, but please limit your papers and embellishments to only white and one other color. And be sure to use a Magnolia image to qualify for the prize this week.

I went with a red and white combo and used SU whisper white card stock which was embossed with the snowflakes folder and Big Shot. Then I added some polka dot paper from my Bo Bunny stash. The holiday wish list BG is from Whimsy Stamps. I've stitched all the paper edges and then used some nesties to frame my image. The image was colored with copics and highlighted with stickles. I've embellished with snowflakes, gems, and ribbon.

This card fits at:
ABC Challenge - holidays
Creative Cottage - for someone special at Christmas
Anything Goes - Let it Snow
Flourishes - Christmas
Critter Sketch - texture
Little Paper Shop - die cuts
Paper Playtime - use something you love (polka dot ribbon, snowflake embossing folder)

Thanks so much for stopping by this Friday. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
