Spooky and Sweet...

Can you believe that tomorrow is the first day of Autumn??! This whole year has just flown by, it's crazy! Today I have a sweet little card featuring "Halloween Girl" from Whimsy and Stars Studio. This is one of my favorite images, it reminds me of my daughter when she was little. She loved dress up and had lots of costumes, one was a really cute little witch outfit.
I added some hot pink to my Halloween colors, just to change things up a bit. She is colored with Copic Markers. I used several scrap pieces that were on my desk for this card, A Muse Studio Grape, Orange, Orange Petite Stripe, and Berry card stocks. I stamped The polka dots on the Orange paper with Berry ink using "Polka Dots Patterns", also from A Muse Studio. I stamped the tickets with "That's The Ticket" and die cut them with the matching die.
Hope that you are all having a wonderful weekend, Thanks for stopping by! :)

Whimsy and Stars Valentine

Happy New Year! Hope that you all have had a wonderful beginning to this next year. I wanted to share a card I made using one of Mabelle's new Valentine's images, so cute! This one is "Valentine Girly". I added the sentiment on the heart with one of my A Muse stamps. The image comes with the large heart plain, I love that 'cause it offers so many possibilities! It's hard to see in the photo, but I added some lovely glitter here and there, so she is wonderfully sparkly!
Mabelle just posted a Design Team Showcase on her blog, Whimsy and Stars Studio, I hope that you will pop over and take a look, so many adorable creations!
Have a great day!

Whimsy Christmas

Just a quick post today to share another adorable image from Whimsy and Stars Studio, this one is called Winter Friends. So cute! I paired this little cutie with some of my A Muse Studio papers, dies, and stamps. I have been working on a project that uses a bunch of Mabelle's sweet Christmas images, I can't wait to share with you, but I have to put the finishing touches on it first. :)
Hope that you are having a wonderful weekend, I appreciate you stopping by!! :)

Whimsey and Stars Christmas

Today I have another card to share with you, for this one I used a sweet image from Mabelle at Whimsy and Stars Studio. I love her designs so much, they always make me feel happy! This little sweetie is called Jolly Christmas and can be found HERE. I used one of my all time favorite embossing folders with snowflakes, to create the back ground paper. I am really enjoying my embossing folders and plates again since I am using A Muse Studio card stock. It comes in so many lovely colors, and I really like that I can sand it and get the white showing through so easily!

Mabelle has a new digi stamp out today! Isn't she adorable?! She can be found HERE! I can't wait to print her up and color her, wouldn't she make a lovely ornament?!
I will be back soon with a sample using her!! That is if all goes according to my plan, not much has done that lately! :)

Hope that you are having a wonderful day today, can you believe it is already December 1st!? Yikes!!
Thanks for stopping by!

This little cutie is called Little Ladybug . Can't you imagine her in all kinds of different color combinations?! So sweet! I made this card for a good friend of mine, I hope that she likes it!! That wonderful background was made using a new stamp from The Angel Company called Here I Am. I am so excited to have some fun new background stamps in this new catalog, so many possibilities! Sentiment is from one of Mabelle's Angel Company stamp sets called Apple of My Eye.

This card was made using Baby's Teddy, another sweet image that is so much fun to color! Paper was from my scrap bucket, I think it is My Minds Eye and Bo Dot. The flower was made with a new flower punch that TAC is carrying , sentiment from Wonderful Trees.

Lilly's Rainbow

Just wanted to share a few cards I made with this new set Lilly's Rainbow by Mabelle R.O. for The Angel Company.  Isn't she cute!?   I made my background using Background Soup, and the rainbow is popped up with foam tape. This is a card that made it into the new Angel Company catalog! If you don't have a catalog yet, and would like to get one, please contact me!

 

For this card I wanted to focus on the beautiful sentiment in this set, so I tried for a clean and simple look, this is as clean and simple as I am able to do!

Paired with an everyday sentiment, still adorable! And yes, I used those polka dots again! I have polka dot issues, they are happy and fun, they work with almost everything, and I love them!

I hope that you are having a wonderful day!! I appreciate you stopping by!
What do you think?

Birthday Chickie

So yeah, I thought I was going to have more time as soon as school was out, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I know you are laughing with me, or at me, it's okay. Every year I delude myself into thinking that. Every year I am shocked when the 'circus' is suddenly set up in my house! Until two days ago it has been unseasonably cool here, and raining, very strange. So I had two children with lots of free time, stuck inside. Need I say more...
Thankfully, the sun is shinning and the neighbors pool is "open" again!! All will be well! And I hope that next year I will remember the "crazy" first week of Summer break rule. :)
So today I have a sweet little card to share with you, this card was made for someone special, who inspires  me with their beautiful writing all the time. I hope that she likes it!
I made this card using one of Mabelle's adorable images, this one is called "Birthday Chickie".  This image was part of the Spring release, so many cute images in this release, you should check it out! I just got word yesterday that Mabelle has been working on a bunch more cute images for an upcoming Summer release, this month!! Personally, I can't wait, I just love her art work, such a joy to color!
Polka dots and sentiment are from The Angel Company, the sets are "Background Soup" and "Thinking of You". I colored with Copic Markers, added a little stickles to the hat, and a bit of pink ribbon to finish it off.
What do you think?
Thanks for stopping by, hope that you have a lovely day! I will be back tomorrow,( really!) with another fun (exciting to me!) post. There is also another Blog Hop this weekend, starting tomorrow on The Savvy Projects Blog. If you would like to join in the fun, get out your favorite Angel Company Stamps and share your creation by adding it to the link at the bottom of the post. :)

More Exciting News...

I just wanted to share some more exciting news, I was chosen to be on another new Design Team! I am so excited I can hardly stand still!! (Happy Dance!) Mabelle R.O. of Whimsy and Stars Studio, is the creator of so many of my most favorite stamp sets from The Angel Company. She is now also selling the sweetest digital images of her art work!! They are so cute that I braved my computer challenges and bought some! If you know me you know what a big deal that is, the computer and I are reluctant friends. I found that the new Copic paper will feed through my printer with no problems, and it is a dream to color on too! It is good to try  new things.

This is my first card using "Miss Dancing Queen", cuteness! And a bonus with the digi images is you can size them to fit your project. ( I am sure this is not news to most of you, but I was excited about this.) I colored her with Copic markers E000, E00, R20, R37, R59, Y38, YR09, YR16, Y15, Y17, YG03, YG17, BV00, BV02, BV04, BV09, BG000.
Long story short, I submitted some of my designs and was chosen, along with 12 super talented designers, to be on this new Design Team. Visit their blogs and you will see what I mean.
