You're a Hoot!

Happy Friday!  Glad to be back to share this make using a Whipper Snapper stamp called Hedwig.  I am so drawn to their images and especially the birds and chickens they have... right up my alley and so fun to color.  I share some more of their stuff later this month.

I colored him with Prisma colored pencils on craft paper, adding white highlights with an ink gel pen.  Fussy cut him and added some fun papers to highlight him.  The "You're a Hoot!" sentiment stamp is an old one I think from Hampton Arts Studio G, back when there were dollar bins at the hobby stores.

Hey Chickie

So, I haven't been ubber creative lately... in fact, hardly at all.  On Sunday I spent a couple hours in my studio but really didn't accomplish more than a little organization/cleaning time.  Monday came around and I was bound and determined to get the creative juices flowing.  I completed a very simple art journal page to get it started... but it still didn't want to flow.  As I was looking through some of my stuff I came across this image that I had already colored, but had never put on a card.  So, while this is still very simple and basic, at least it was a start...hoping my mojo will find me soon.  

(I thought this image was from Whipper Snapper, but I can't seem to find it on their site.  Thanks to all the wonderful comments we now know that the image comes to us by From the Heart - but sadly, it is no longer available.)

I craft - what's your superpower?

Popping into blogland to share a make I created this weekend just for fun!  I seem to be drawn to the this color pallet a lot lately!

I honestly have no idea who makes this cute teddy bear stamp - it is acrylic and was floating free in my animal's box of stamps.  Must have gotten it back when I wasn't keeping track of manufacturers at all.  Anyway, I digress....  She is adorable and that's all I know about her.

I used my trusted and true Copics to color him, then just went with the flow of the design papers.  The sentiment stamp is from Whipper Snapper Designs.  The frame for the sentiment is from Spellbinders.

Challenges:

Crafty Catz - anything goes with twist of baby card
A Bit More Time to Craft - anything goes
Crafts Galore Encore - anything goes
Love to Scrap - anything goes
4 Crafty Chicks - anything goes - twist add a sentiment

Happy Friday!

Hugs to all...

Crafty Catz GDT - week 3

Back this week with an adorable image from Whipper Snapper for this card as inspiration for the Crafty Catz challenge blog.  I LOVE WHIPPER SNAPPER - they couldn't be any cuter.  When this challenge suggested I could use any image of my choice, they were my go-to stamps.  My niece is having a baby shower this weekend - so what better chance to use this adorable image Sweet Safari.

I colored it up with my Copics and found some design papers in my scraps - I think they are from Die Cuts With  A View and matched perfectly.  The challenge is to add a touch of pretty ribbon, so the yellow ribbon above the die cut sentiment is a finishing touch to complete the card.

There are some great chances to win prizes from Crafty Ribbons and participate as a guest designer over at Crafty Catz this week... head on over and play along with us.  I would love to see what you are creating!

You are my Happy!

Well, it's a little dusty in here - time to return and start posting again.  I've still been creating, although not been good about taking pictures of my projects and posting here... but that's gotta change.

Starting with a project I created to send to my bestee, Ms. Torrey.  She really is my happy place, so this seemed appropriate for her.  I used a cute stamp from Whipper Snapper Designs - love their animal images - colored with my Copics.  A few fancy frame/die cuts, sequin flowers and voila!  Done deal!  I hope it brought a smile to Torrey's sweet face.
