Let the sneaks begin :-)

Yay... the sneak peaks start today for our new Wags 'n Whiskers release... this Friday!!!!! We have 8 beautiful Spring Time stamps designed by the talented Crissy Armstrong! They are perfect for getting yourself in the mood for some warmer weather, spring flowers, and Easter!

But that's not all!! We are so happy to share a secret we have been keeping for a while now!

We also have a new artist! She is totally new to the stamping world!! Her name is Cris de Lara. We have 5 fun and whimsical stamps designed by Cris for this release. You can find out more about her over at the Wags 'n Whiskers blog and also click the links to visit our designers for some fabulous eye candy!!!

A little about my project today... this gorgeous new image by Crissy is called Hey Chickie. This features my little 4 year old Danni. I had made a little something for Zoe which I will be sharing with you Friday so it was only right I made something for Danni too :-) I decorated a Kraft pillow box. I have had the papers some time but I think they are by Pebbles Inc. Danni has been coloured with Prismacolor pencils with sansodor to blend. Don't you just adore her sweet little chickie and found the little chickie button amongst my stash :-)

Don't forget that by helping us spread the word about our release you have the chance to win all 13 new release stamps!!! Find out more here.

See you tomorrow!

Hugs,

High Hopes Challenge - Wired!

Our new challenge has just started over at the High Hopes blog and this my talented friend Karen is asking us to use Wire or Metal on our cards or projects. I found these fun wire embellishments in my stash and also added a metal jump ring to attach the sentiment.

The fun little guy on my card today is Bubble Bath Bradley from the new Dustin Pike collection. I coloured Bradley with Prismacolour pencils and added lots of star dust stickles. For a little more texture the 4mm Iridescent pearls looked great as bubbles. The paper was from a book of papers which I picked up ages ago from The Book People. To finish I have added some new 8mm flat back pearls in golden yellow.

Hope you will come and join us in our challenge and if you are looking to purchase High Hopes stamps I have a great selection over in my store. I ship worldwide too!

Have a great Sunday!

Hugs

Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge - Charming!

I am finally back with a card to share with you :-) Our new Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge has just started and this week I am your host. I am asking you to use metal somewhere on your card or project. This could be charms, spacer beads, head pins, brads or any metal embellishment.

I was a little upset that I didnt' have time to play along with Inge's challenge last week so made sure that today's card was also using the great colour combination Brown, blue and white!

The image on my card is my little bookworm daughter Zoe - A good book. I have coloured with my Prismacolor pencils with sansodor and paper stumps to blend. The papers are from the DCWV Garden Party stack. This stack also contains some pretty pink and green designs as well as the yummy chocolate, cream and blue. I sell DCWV over in my store in handy try-me packs. The pretty circle is a Nellie Snellen Multi die. The gorgeous flower with metal centre and gem is from the Prima Homespun Elegance bright selection. They also are available in Vintage. I have also used 8mm flat back pearls in chocolate and white. The swirly metal embellishment was sent to me some time ago from my friend Kelly.

If you don't have any Wags 'n Whiskers, then it's time to go shopping!!!. Also if your looking to add a little metal to your stash ALL charms, spacers, head pins, chains and jump rings are currently 10% off until Sunday.

Don't forget that for taking part one lovely participant will have the chance at winning a Wags 'n Whiskers Rubber Stamp of their choice. Be sure to check out the teams beautiful cards which are bursting with inspiration!
