A very happy Wednesday to everyone!! I hope that your week is going well and that you are closer and closer to being prepared for the big day!!

Today is the last day of showcasing the absolutely wonderful December Release at Whimsy Stamps and I have selected another little WEE darling designed by the amazing Sylvia Zet for Whimsy. The image is Rose and Felix which I colored with Copics, Promarkers, and Flexmarkers, adding tiny pearls to her headband and for an earring and a bit of StarDust Stickles to the flowers....She and her little kitty are too cute!!!! For the horizontal I used some lace from my stash threaded with some peach seam binding which is tied into a triple flat bow to dangle a double heart charm from the WOC Mixed Heart Charms set. I also used double heart diecuts made with the new Whimsy Country Heart Die. The floral treatment, resting on MS punched branches, is all by Wild Orchid Crafts: 1 3/8" Peach Trellis Rose, Peach Carnation, and Baby's Breath Flowers. I used Bazzill for the base and all double matting and the DP is from the First Edition New Leaf Paper Pad.

Happy Saturday everyone!!! Gosh, do you all feel the excitement of the season??? There are so many things going on these days that I am not really sure that I am in touch....so many new releases....so many changes...and so much holiday spirit galore...that....who am I really and what am I supposed to be doing next!!! I love it!!!! At least it gives me a good excuse to be completely OUT OF IT!!!! hahahhah

Today I have for you another showcase of a darling image from the December Release at Whimsy Stamps. This release is amazing with the 20 new stamps, 3 new dies, and 6 new shape EZ templates. As I told you earlier in the week, there is great excitement over at the Whimsy Inspirations Blog with this new release...each day there are prizes given just for visiting those blogs which are showcasing the new stamps. So I urge you to go over to the Whimsy Inspirations Blog where the special event continues until December 21. Whimsy DT and Special Guests (and I am one) are showcasing the fabulous new stamps and dies with a daily mini blog hoppette where there is a new release prize hidden somewhere along the way and you have 24 hours to enter each prize draw.

For my card today I used Bazzill for the base, PTI for all double matting, the DP is from the MME Stella Rose paper pad, and all background panels are machine stitched. The sweet sweet image is Sam's Special Delivery which was designed by the magnificent Sylvia Zet. The image was colored with Copics and Promarkers. I decided I wanted alot of texture in the wagon so I added lots of greenery made with a MS Branch Punch, tiny 4mm Closed Rosebuds, and Gypsophilia. HUGS and KISSES are from the
Love Mini Tickets sentiment set and were cut out with Mini Ticket Die. The horizontal is SU grosgrain dotted ribbon tied into a double flat bow.

Remember that the entire new release is available to buy right now from the Whimsy Stamps Store along with all of your Whimsy favourites.

Red and White Delight at Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge

Happy Friday everyone!!! I hope that you have all had a wonderful week and that your days are as stress-free as possible. In my wanderings this week it seems that the whole planet is running at warp speed...except for me...lolol

This week at the Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge we are being hosted by Sara who has given us the challenge to use WHITE WITH ONE OTHER COLOR....and this was something very different, but alot of fun, for me! We hope you will jump over and join in with us this week since this is the last challenge of the year and there are some very nice prizes!!!

For my card, I used Bazzill for the base, PTI for all double matting, the DP is from an old MM Love Notes paper pad, and all background panels are machine stitched. I just had to use the absolutely darling Raining Tilda Hearts which is a special stamp only available at Creashop Duymelot in the Netherlands and for each stamp sold the shop will donate two euros to the Pink Ribbon Society for Breast Cancer Research and Outreach. She was stamped on Cryogen White and colored with Copics, adding a bit of Star Dust Stickles to the lace on her dress. She was cut out with Nesties and encircled with that sweet red lace which was a gift from my sweet and talented friend Suzan. For the horizontal I used red frilled organza ribbon tied into a double flat bow to dangle a lovely double heart charm from the WOC Mixed Heart Charms Set. I have also used some of the Red Crystal Heart Chandeliers with gold stems to give some interest to the upper left side. The floral treatment is all by WOC: 1 1/4" Wild Rose, 1" Open Roses, Sweetheart Blossoms, and 1/8" Closed Rosebuds. The front was finished with a few Self-Adhesive Pearls.


The inside is very simple using the same papers and embellies including another sweet heart from WOC...this one reminds me of the collection of hearts that little Tilda has on the front of the card!

Thank you so very much for dropping by and I hope you will come back often!! I will be back soon with some more Whimsy SWEET STUFF and of course it's SUNDAY SENSATIONS from Magnolia-licious right here with a sweet, sweet little darlin' for some lucky participant! Have a wonderful weekend...enjoy...be safe...and until the next time, I send big hugs for you!!!

Ski Jumping is FUN!! and SWEET STUFF!!!

A very happy Thursday to everyone!! I'm sure that you are all busy getting ready for the holiday season...so just enjoy!!!

My card today is for no special reason except that I wanted to play with this sweet little fun-loving image from LOTV called Ski Jump...and isn't he having a fun time with his cute little puppy!!!! I used Bazzill for the base and double matting, the DP is from the Winter Park Paper Pad by Echo Park, and all background layers are machine stitched. The image was stamped on X-Press It Blending Card, colored with Copics and Promarkers, adding Prisma Glitter to the snowflakes, and a combination of Liquid Applique, glitter, and Twinklets for the icy snow on the ground, then cutting him out with Nesties. I also added a touch of Doodlebug Flock to his hat. For the horizontal I used 1/2" Burgundy Satin Ribbon tied into a double flat bow to dangle a couple of Miniature Gold Bells. The flower treatments are all from Wild Orchid Crafts: 1 3/8" Trellis Roses, 1" Open Rose, and Carnations resting on Holly Leaves. The flowers were all frosted with Twinklets and are resting on glittery snowflake ornaments. Oh I almost forgot...at the bottom of the horizontal you can barely detect a MS Icicle punched band which I covered with Prisma Glitter. To finish the front I used some Self-Adhesive Pearls.


On the first panel on the inside I used more of the glittery snowflake ornaments topped with flat bows. For the jotting panel I used an organza envelope to hold a card for a wee note and I hope you can detect that on the card I used North Pole Express postmark from the LOTV Grunge Christmas Postmarks set and smaller glittery snowflakes with pearls to decorate the envelope.

SWEET STUFF for my FOLLOWERS...As I am re-organizing for my move to the cottage, you cannot believe how many things I am finding that are duplicates in my stash....sigh...and some things which I KNOW I will never have a use for. So I will continue to offer them here because one of you may be interested...

I found an extra set of the LOTV For You Circular Sentiments which as you can see have so many different occasions covered. I have them in the original rubber and now these newer ones are offered as clear stamps and these have never been used. I ordered these without realizing that I already had a set... You know that I will also add some other goodies to the package. So if my FOLLOWERS will just leave your info with the Blue Froggy (or if you don't have a blog, leave a comment with your email address) before Friday, December 16 at midnight EST you may be the lucky winner!! Good luck!!

And another thing....

I also found this Spellbinders Grand Rose Borderability that measures 12" long and I have no earthly idea why I even bought this...I think I thought it would be much smaller than it really is and of course I love roses BUT this one was not for me!! haha...but someone may have a real need or use for it especially in scrapbooking...certainly I don't!! So if you want this brand new in package Spellbinder or know of someone who does, please send me an email with Rose Borderability in the Subject Line and I will put this huge die into your home ASAP!!

Thank you so much for dropping by today and I hope that your holiday season is going smoothly and that your stresses are minimal!! Have a wonderful day and remember that I will be back very soon with more surprises from Whimsy, my Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge card on Friday, and another real cutie at SUNDAY SENSATIONS from Magnolia-licious!! Hugs to all!!

For my card today I used the absolutely darling little Sylvia Zet Wee Spring Bringer from the new December Release and isn't she the cutest!!! She was stamped on Cryogen White and colored with Copics, Promarkers, and Flexmarkers, adding Prisma Glitter to her wings and butterfly, and gold Spica to the little bells. The die cut sentiment was made using the new Friendship Notables cut out with the Notables 2 die. The base of the card and all double matting is Bazzill and the DP is from the Valetta Garden paper pack by Wild Rose. For the horizontal I used a BRIGHT 1" organza ribbon. The floral treatment, in which I tried to match what the little girl is holding, is all by Wild Orchid Crafts: 1 1/2" Trellis Rose, Sweetheart Blossoms, and Decorative Crown Pins. The front was finished with Self-Adhesive Pearls.

For my card I used Bazzill for the base and all double matting, the DP is from Inkido's Christmas line from last year, and all background panels are machine stitched. I used Ice Tilda from the new Sweet Christmas Dreams Collection and the Alota Park and Pond background, both from Magnolia-licious. All of the coloring on the images is done with Promarkers and the new Flexmarkers all by Letraset. And as much as I enjoy my Copics, I enjoy these markers just as much. As a matter of fact there are some things about the Letraset markers that I prefer over Copics: 1. The small hard nibs on the Promarkers allow me to color in very small areas much easier 2. The shades of pinks are much more to my liking on the Letraset line. 3. The very soft brush nib on the Flexmarkers is a real joy to use. Although there are not as many different colors in the Letraset line as there are Copics, they are wonderful to fill in the gaps between Copic colors. I am finding that alcohol ink markers ARE alcohol ink markers AND the more coloring toys I have, the better!!! And they can all be used together!!!!

For the horizontal on my card I used a stitched grosgrain ribbon topped with Raschel Lace, and a double flat bow made with 1/2" Shocking Pink Satin Ribbon to dangle a snowflake charm from the WOC Mixed Christmas Metal Embellishments. The floral treatment is all by Wild Orchid Crafts:Pink Wild Rose, Pink Rosebuds, Rose Leaves, resting on a glittery snowflake ornament. For the texture on my card I used Liquid Applique and Prisma Glitter for the snow, Glossy Accents on the frozen pond, WOC Clear Self Adhesive Rhinestones for the snowflakes, and Doodlebug Flock for the muff and trim on her boots.

The inside is very simple, using the same supplies and design from the front.

Note: Claudia is having a fund-raiser for a family she is acquainted with in Michigan who she is helping get through a very difficult holiday. For information you can click HERE.
