Dog-gone it...

TGIF! 

I've got another Sweet November Stamps Pen Pal card to share today. This one was for the August swap and I know that this one made it to its destination. The theme was animals so this card, that I colored Live on my Adventures in Coloring with Amy Facebook page during the Dog Park 4 digi release, was perfect. For the scene I paired Minnie the Maltipoo with the Modern Living Room digi set, which was a special prize for participating in a previous challenge and is now available in the store for everyone. I also grabbed the octopus stuffie from the Dog Park 3: Bentley the Basset Hound set because this little pup looked like she would be spoiled with lots of toys. We had a lot of fun coloring the couch to look like something you might find at your granny's house, complete with a coordinating afghan throw. And Minnie is looking longingly into that back yard, hoping that someone will open the door so she can chase off those pesky squirrels, LOL!

Thanks for stopping by!

Make a splash...

Hey there! 

Well, I had been holding off on sharing this card until my Pen Pal received it, but this was for the July swap and I'm afraid it may not have arrived at its destination. Still, I want to share it before summer officially comes to an end. The theme of the July Pen Pal swap was summer so I paired up cuties from the Wet and Wild digital collection at Sweet November Stamps. The little boy is from the Squirt Guns set and the little girl is from the Water Balloon Fight set. I also threw in the sprinkler from the Sprinkler Fun set for even more action and movement in the background. So many ways of having fun and keeping cool for these cute little kiddos! I will be keeping my fingers crossed that this card makes it to its destination someday... better late than never.  :)

Toodles!

Hi friends! 

There are only a couple days left to take advantage of the anniversary at Purple Onion Designs, with 25% OFF rubber stamps and 50% OFF in the sale and clearance sections. All prices have already been reduced so no code is necessary, just fill up your cart and enjoy the fantastic deals!  

My card today is a mix of old and new stamps, all of which are part of the sale. Tofu Birthday Wishes is from the newest Chilliezgraphy by Pei collection, Spring is in the Air, while the Buffet Party Table is from an older Stacey Yacula collection. They felt like a natural pairing to me and with some quick masking of Tofu and stamping of the table over top, this happy party scene was set. The big happy birthday from the Outliners Sentiment set was stamped and heat embossed on clear vellum for a bit of a different look, I really like how it mimics the opacity of the birthday balloons floating in the background. What a cute way to celebrate someone's special day.  :)

Happy shopping!
