When Piggies Fly!

These little piggies just draw you right in with their cuteness!!

I know I'll be using this "Little Piggy"stamp set much more in the near future.

I needed some clouds to fly the winged piggy through, so I reached into my folder of die cuts and pulled out "Umbrella Weather's" clouds. They were exactly what I needed for the design I was going for.  Used the "Oh My Stars" and "Seaside" embossing folder, some dazzling diamonds and "Coffee Break" DSP to finish it off.

The pigs were colored using the Aqua Painters and Crumb Cake ink.
Throw on some dazzling diamonds to the clouds and Wink of Stella glitter brush to the piggy wings and you'll end up with something fun!

Time to make your little piggy fly! :-)

~Have fun stamping!

Christmas Tidings

Can you believe Christmas is right around the corner?

Again, it has come way too fast and I'm not prepared! Nothing new here. :-)

I hope you all are better prepared, have your Christmas lists written and have most of your shopping already done. I just finished designing my Christmas card....now have many to make. Wish me luck!

The Stampin'Up! Occasions catalog has some beautiful stamp sets and paper for the holidays.

One of my favorite stamp sets is "Good Tidings." I paired it with "Labels of Love" and "Sheet Music." Hope the outcome inspires you with your Christmas cards. :-)

I also made some 3x3 cards with it to add to Christmas gifts.

Have fun stamping!

Coffee = Happiness!

Coffee......manna from heaven! :-)

With my love for coffee, you know I had to have this stamp set! 

Strong espresso is my drink of choice, and Starbucks meets that bill for me, so this card was done in the colors associated with them. You, of course, can use any color combos you'd like and it would work out great! I'd love to see what you come up with!  

I used "Coffee Cafe" stamp set and "Merry Cafe" stamp set.

The little coffee cups and coffee pot were cut from the "Coffee Break" DSP.

Use your crimper to create the texture shown at bottom of the card.

Have fun creating your coffee cards!

One Little Piggy!

Adorable, adorable stamp set!! Had to have! :-)

I've met a few people that have little pink pigs as pets, and after seeing those little things in person, you kind of get it. lol They truly are SO cute! I'll stick with my cuddly, sweet, soft furred dogs though and just enjoy the cute piggies in my stamp set. :-)

Keep your little pigs a nice clean pink, make 'em dirty & muddy or make them purple or blue! 

It's all in the power of your creation! :-)

I stamped mine on Blushing Bride card stock, and with my Aqua Painters threw on a bit more pink for shadowing and then used Soft Suede to add a bit of dirt from her mud bath before she decided to take a nice stroll through the flowers. :-)

Have fun with your little piggies!

Mermaids!

My 14 years old daughter LOVES mermaids!
Now, don't get me wrong, she also loves make-up, fashion, high heels, talking back and of course....boys! :-) Yes, my teen girls are also trying to grow up too fast, so you are not alone.....we Mom's and Dad's are all turning gray together! :-) So, when I saw the new "Magical Mermaid' stamp set, I knew I had to have it and figure out a cute design for her.....anything to hold onto the small things that peek out and show us they are still little girls at heart.

Hope you enjoy the design as much as she does!
Have fun with all sorts of color....and of course don't forget the glittering diamonds to make your mermaid shimmer!

50 Amazing Years!

My parents celebrated their 50th Anniversary this month!

Their love, patience and dedication to each other is an inspiration to all their children and grandchildren!

I'm so very proud of who they are and grateful for the love and dedication they hold for their family!

Thanks Dad and Mom for being the pillar of our family and the greatest example of true love we've ever seen! Love you both dearly!!

This is the card I made for their Anniversary....I know 50 is usually done with gold, but if you can believe this, I had no gold in my stock! lol. So, I went with silver instead. Using several die cuts and a bit of bling and ribbon, I think I managed the simple, elegant look I was hoping for. 

Hope it inspires you to get out your Big Shot and get rolling! :-)
