Sending Warm Thoughts Whimsy project and DT Call details!!

Hello dear blogging buddies,
how was your Christmas weekend?
Lots of good times and good eats I hope!!
Things around here were pretty mellow,
with no family and a minimal list of friends here in Kansas,
there's not a big To-Do on the holidays,
just have a nice time with the kids and make yummy meals,
we also went and checked out Christmas lights too,
my little 4 year old had a blast looking at those glowing figures.

Well, now, I am not sure if you've seen it,
but Whimsy Stamps is looking for a few new members
to join their Digital Team.
With Melissa Jenkins popping out new images every week,
the amazing Katie Sowa and Crissy Armstrong creating some of the cutest critters and kids you've ever seen and Ann Vento's gorgeous sentiments and die-cuts, being on the Whimsy Digital team is a true delight. So much to play with I tell ya!! And the team is just wonderful, great to work WITH, friendly, helpful, supportive group of gals there at Whimsy stamps!! So if you'd like to play with their fine selection of digi's and join our lovely team, please click HERE for more details!!


I have a little Whimsy project to share today!!
I've combined two recently released MelJen images together to create my project with, Cheery Lights Mailbox and Penguins Little Letter, I've coloured in distress inks, the papers are Magnolia and October Afternoon. That about does it on the card there, this is my version of clean and simple!!


Here's where I will enter this:

Thanks for popping by,

May your Christmas be blessed

Hello ladies all over the world,
I think that, no matter your time zone,
it's appropriate to say MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!


For my project, I have used the gorgeously angelic "Christmas Angel Evie" created by the talented Chelsea Le, you can find them in her Gurlee Girl shoppe HERE. She was such a delight to colour, I have already come up with several other excuses to stamp her again!! Think Christenings and the like, Sympathy type cards, yes, she is certainly a new all-time fave for me!! She's been coloured in distress inks and stickled in StarDust, the papers are by K & Co. and the other items are from my stash, punches are by Martha.



I thank you popping by and wish you a very merry holiday season!!
Enjoy it!!!

hugs, stephanne

For my project, I made a card folder thingymabobber, knowing that the person this is for is due a years worth of waffling through letters and lots of pictures of the kids and halloween, I thought a folder might be better than a card!!

The Fuzzy Wuzzy Christmas Challenge!!!

Hello out there Blogland!!!
It's the first Friday of the month,
or technically will be in a very short amount of time,
and that means it's time for our latest challenge at
The Fuzzy Wuzzy Challenges!!

Before we get to the new challenge, we have some very special news to share!!! We Fuzzy Wuzzians decided it was time to expand our team and have the distinct pleasure of introducing the amazingly talented, superbly gorgeous design team members Emma, Ingrid, Julia, Kelly and Louise. Welcome to the team ladies!! We are so very proud and honoured to have them creating with us, thank you ladies for helping make our team that much more special :) With each of them having a unique talent and style all of their own, they are sure to bring us loads of inspiration month after month!! And the fabulous Kylie recently gave our blog a face-lift and it looks amazing!!! We're hoping the new look will clear up some of the confusion about what images can be used for our challenges: ANY!!! Thank you Kylie :)

This months challenge is an easy one for ya,
Christmas Something or An-Otter!!!
So some kind of a Christmas project
made with some sort of an animal image
and you can come and enter it in our challenge
for a chance to win some delightful prizes from
Whimsy Stamps, our generous sponsor,
who was kind enough to let our
DT play with their images too!!
Thanks Whimsy Stamps!!


Now I do love me a recycling project, and after I spotted a project created by the amazing Iris of Paper Crafting in Cocoa some time back, I knew I had to give these Prima tins a new purpose. They are too handy to throw them away, so why not make them gorgeous!! I also had some sort of a mental breakthrough with doilies after seeing Iris's post too, the distressing and glittering, she made it look so gorgeous that I had to try it out too. Such a copy cat I am. Thanks for the inspiration Iris.


Here's the side view where I adhered Echo Park paper, a strip of white paper that was punched with a MS punch. That delectable lace was adhered with my favourite stuff, Aleene's Tacky Glue.


And the snowflakes are a combination of a MS snowflake punch and a nesties die cut. I used pearl vellum paper for that shimmery effect on the bottom layer.


And here is the top of the gift tin. I coloured the adorably sweet Teddy Angel with Prisma pencils and added bits of star dust stickles to the wings. I went around the glow area of the gown with a clear copic spica pen.
"glow area" = the shadow ring that melissa adds to her images, lol.


The flowers I used are a mix of rivaling companies I probably shouldn't mention in the same sentence, lol!!! I've added touches of Star Dust stickles here and there and that swirl die is from Sizzix.




Here are some challenges I'd like to join in at:
Cute Card Thursday The Blues,
Saturday Challenge 3 snowflakes, 2 circles (image and back paper, 2 circles, lol) and lace


Hey, wake up!!
hugs, stephanne

Whimsy Stamps December Digital Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to Whimsy Stamps
first O' the month digi-blog hop!!!
If you've arrived from the
positively talented Heike's blog
you are well on your way through the hop,
if you've just popped by for a visit,
you may want to head on over to the
Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Blog
to start at the beginning.


I've used a sentiment from Ann's new Christmas Sentiments set,
along with a micey nice new release from Katie Sowa called Mousy Cheer. Can you tell I got a new toy!??!?!?! I am so excited to open up my home to a Cuttlebug, woopie!!! I get nervous with larger purchases, a lot of "what if's" and "buts" go into making decisions like this, but after a good year of thinking about it, I did it!! I got a Cuttlebug!! And felt the need to use every folder and die I now proudly own on this one card, lol!! I used the sketch from Create4fun while crafting this.



There is a lot of fun stuff happening at Whimsy Stamps lately, there are loads of new sentiments from Ann Vento, Crissy Armstrong has released several new adorable images, as well as several PRE-COLOURED images (point, click, done!! good for this time of year!!!), Melissa Jenkins shares lots of digis throughout the month with us, but today, she is releasing PRE-COLOURED images as well, very nice!!! Katie has designed some really cute designs that are releasing today as well, so do pop by Whimsy Stamps and check it out!! Plus, if the chisme is correct, Whimsy stamps will be revealing some new rubber stamps designs in the very near future, hot dog!!


Now it is time for you to hop along
and see what the talented Pattie
has in store for you!!

hugs, stephanne

It's about that time!!

Hello out there my friends,
here's a quickie of a post to let you know that the
big, juicy sale at Tickled Pink Stamps
will be underway very, very soon!!



So, how's the Christmas preparations coming along for you?
I need to hear some funny stories to help me de-stress,
any silly happenings while out shopping this weekend?

Ho Ho Ho, Have a Merry Whimsy Christmas!!

Hello lovely ladies,
I hope your week is ending on a beautiful note!!
Any "Black Friday" shopping plans???
I will just be going to bed when those determined souls
start getting up and ready to go hunt for the deal of a lifetime
at 4 am in the morning.... Bah humbug, lol!!


Every Thursday at Whimsy Stamps, the wonderfully talented Melissa Jenkins releases new digi stamps, and today, I share with you something that I made with the adorable Caroling Snowmen. They were coloured in distress inks, highlighted a bit with a White Gellyroll pen, then I stickled their "glow" with Crystal in the areas that seemed they might need a smidgeon of shadowing, then I cut them out, covered the exposed edges of the image with Prismacolor marker (warm grey 40%) and popped them onto another print of the same image, with the shadowing done in Prismacolor marker (cloud blue).

Let's Get Sentimental TPS preview and sale info

Hello and welcome to day 2 of
Tickled Pink Stamps
sentiments previews!!
If you have just popped over
to visit me this morning, thank you!!!
I'd like to nudge you in the direction of the TPS Blog because the Pink Ladies have crafted up some magic with the new line, thoughtfully designed for us by the amazing Ann Vento of RainDrop Echo Designs, and of course, there are some giveaways to take place, so don't forget to leave those comments along the way.


Have you got the fever to try a tag yet? Let me point you in the direction of a tutorial prepared by our very own Jane at TPS, check it out HERE, some great how to's where printing and die cuts are concerned.

For me, I just cut and stamp, no die cuts for this sad sack, lol. I wanted to do something a little different from my norm, I wanted a rustic, aged looking tag. Just an understated wash of colour on Lylah and some vintage photo distressing, gold stickles and of course, the To From sentiment and that was that. You know, I like it!! Primitive Folk Art-ish looking.

I need to tell you ladies something. Kellie of Tickled Pink Stamps is having a sale starting on the 1st of December, Australian time, where she will be putting every stamp in her inventory on sale from 30-50 percent off. Now I don't know about you, but I think Santa needs to know about this!!! The sale will run for 5 days, so there will be a little bit of time between now and the end of that sale to make your list, check it twice, switch some things around, add them back in, etc etc.

Now I see that blogger has been a naughty boy lately, suppose he wants to make a holiday weekend for himself with friends and family from the USA? He needs a little R&R so he has been a no-show, and gone and messed up all of our posts, lol!! That said, I hope this goes live at the scheduled time :/

Thanks for popping by, and pals in thee ol' U S of A, have a blessed holiday!!

hugs, stephanne

Whimsy's Stamp a Day Give-away and a Whimsy project :)

Hello hello hello!!!
I have a little bit of a heads up to share with you lovely ladies today,
if you head on over to the Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Blog, there you will find a daily giveaway being hosted!!! So I know it is already Wednesday, but still, on the other hand, it's only Wednesday!! Still 3 days of giveaways to go, so pop on over there and see which gorgeous stamp is up for grabs today!!

Well, now that the birthday festivities for my little man have finally ended and everyone is nestled in bed, I BLOG!!! I had the pleasure of crafting up another Christmas card with the fabulously pretty Little Christmas Angel digi-stamp by Crissy Armstrong, find it in store at Whimsy Stamps HERE.


My first romp with this image was an attempt at white on white. Yeah, I uhhh, so, I thought I would just do what I do this time around and here we are then, lol!!! She's been oloured in distress inks, more details to come, I need sleep, I am seeing double!!!



Thanks so much for stopping by this morning!!!
hugs, stephanne

And the winner is........

Hello lovelies, just popping by to reveal the winner of my Christmas Candy, according to Random Number Integer Generator, this would be lucky number 39, Lena Katrine who said this about her favourite Christmas smell, "Hmmm...my favourite christmas smell, I think it must be cinnamon, ginger and oranges together :)"

OMG, YES, that smell together is AMAZING, that taste together is out of this world, a great flavour for teas and chocolates too!!! I love smells, good ones anyway!! How a smell can take us back in time to a memory is amazing to me.



Well, enough about smells!! Thanks to all who took part in my little Christmas Cheer cancan!!!
Wishing you all the best of the holiday season!!!

hugs, stephanne

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall Challenge revisited!!

Hello my friends,
we Fuzzy Wuzzians have been thinking of ways to keep things interesting through the month over at The Fuzzy Wuzzy Challenges and Kylie came up with a wonderful thought: A mid-month sample from us!! That is a grand idea!! And to make it even more fun, we have added another prize to the mix, you're gonna want to check this out!! If you're a fan of Penny Black, you should hop on over HERE to check it out.



Let me just say that I ADORE Penny Black images. My weakness lies in their 1996, 1997 era stamps. The woodland creatures and teddies of those times had so much detail and beautiful elements, I just love 'em!! I coloured in distress inks, then added some Snow Writer to the tree with a little paint brush, this helps stop it from globbing up on your project, then topped it with a wee bit of glitter. The paper is from Basic Grey (red) and Websters Pages (script dots). The punch is by Martha Stewart and the sentiment is from raindrop echo designs, sold at Whimsy Stamps, find this digital sentiments set HERE.



And here, I shall take advantage of this rare opportunity to play at some of my favourite challenge blogs!!!

Whimsy Custom Design sale and my sons creation

Hello ladies,
thought I would pop in to let you know that this week at Whimsy Stamps there is a 20% off sale of custom rubber and digital designs, woopie!!! Been thinking about a seal with your name and blog address on it? Want your own signature for your blog posts???? Now's the time!!

He also demanded (yes, DEMANDED) I print him out Crissy's Christmas pup to colour and made a project with that doggy too, I just don't know where he hid it. He hides things... so mom doesn't take his masterpieces from him and send them to the grandparents!!


My son will be turning 4 this 23rd, I am rather excited!! All he has been asking for is a chocolate cake!! Boy, did I get off easy this year or what, lol!!!

Well, better get back to playing catch-up!!

Have a great weekend friends!!
I am planning on cleaning....
Just saying that because admitting that I want to craft seems to cause a retroactive jinx and so, if I say cleaning is on the agenda, then maybe, just maybe... no... if I type it, I will certainly jinx myself. No crafting whatsoever!!!

Meet Lilith, TPS Lil' Reveal!!

Meet Willow, just in time for trimming the tree at TPS!!

Oh my gosh oh my gosh!!!
I am late, I am late,
for a very important date!!!

IMPORTANT NOTE TO SELF:
When scheduling blog posts,
be certain to use the correct date and time!!

For all of you Tickled Pink Stamps fans who have been by attempting to leave comments (comment to win-styles prizes at TPS!!) I am sorry and I will make sure that the Boss Lady knows about my typographical error, so; free pass on leaving me comments today, Tickled Pinkers :)

Now, I'd like to thank you for coming and visiting my rather belated project today. If you have just wandered over to visit me, I'd like to recommend that you hop on over to the Tickled Pink Stamps Store Blog and check out the gorgeous samples from the Pink Ladies and our special guests, they are fabulous!! And be sure to leave those comments, because we have hidden prize raffles based off of comments left on our posts on a regular basis!!



I've coloured Willow in distress inks, and glittered and spica'd her in the ruffly areas, the papers are Basic Grey and the flowers and trims are random items from my stash.


Who says pink and pretty doesn't work for Christmas!!?!?! I am looking to put a "trimming the tree" type of sentiment on the inside of the card to sort of tie everything together. I didn't mean to make Willow's beautiful dress appear like a Jamaican cheerleading uniform, that antique linen went a little brighter than expected, but hey, it turned into a happy accident, because the colours work well with the papers, so, woopie!!

Well, I will see you Pinkies back here tomorrow morning (checking posting times FOR SURE, lol!!) as we have lots of reveals and an end-of-week blog hop coming, so stay tuned!!!

Huge Hugs,
stephanne

Hot dog!! 50% off, half price, 2 for 1, no matter the approach,
the end result is the same!!
Whimsy digi's are on sale!!


Phew, now that I got that out of my system,
I have a little Whimsy project to share today.
As my faithful blogging buddies know,
I need to get my Christmas crafting done before December,
so these fabulous digi's by the amazing Crissy Armstrong have been calling me name since they were released!! What I did was open the files up in Live Quartz, which is a free photo editing software system that is Mac compatible, and took the png files and gave Classic Santa a Little Helper, aptly named Santa's Puppy.


Colouring is done in distress inks. The papers are a mix of K & Co (dots), Echo Park (snowflakes) and an embossed panel. I've used a sentiment by Ann Vento. This is from the Warm Winter Wishes digital sentiment set, it comes with 4 beautiful phrases, and right now, you can get 'em for a buck, holy wow!!!
