Grateful for all you do

Hi there! I have a new Whimsy Inspirations Challenge for you today! We're Making Our Own Flowers this week and we really hope you'll join us! Here's my card for the challenge...

I have used this sweet sentiment from Raindrop Echo Designs...it's from the Warm Winter Wishes Sentiments set available at Whimsy Stamps!

Lots of Spellbinders dies used on this one...I cut the sentiment out with the Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two set and I cut it out a second time in green as an extra layer. There are two layers cut with the Labels Twenty set. I also made the large rose with a Spellbinders die...it's the Spiral Blossoms One die. The leaves peeking out at the corner are cut with the Foliage set too.

The two smaller roses are cut with the MFT Mini Rolled Roses dies and stacked inside each other. I added some Marianne's flourishes, a sheer pink ribbon, some pearls and a bit of Sticles on the decorative part of the paper!

I hope you'll join us for the challenge! Stop by the Whimsy Inspirations Challenge blog and see what the rest of the Design Team has to inspire you with today!

Whimsy Stamp October Digi Release Blog Hop!

Hi there! Welcome to the Whimsy Stamps October Digital Release Blog Hop! I hope you arrived here from Marilyn's Blog and if so, you are on the right track!

And...you'll want to leave some love along the way too as there will be two winners...these will be chosen from two mystery blogs. The blog hop runs from today until Saturday, October 8th at 12:oo pm EST.

The Grand Prize Winner of the hop will be chosen from comments left on the final stop...the lucky winner will receive 5 new digital stamps of their choice from Whimsy and will also get a chance to use those new digital images as a guest designer for Whimsy for the entire month of November! So, what are you waiting for? Head on over there and get hopping!

Here's what I made for the hop...


I've used a new image from StampArt Design by Kathryne called Autumn Friends! I just love the expression on the scarecrow's face and the little crow is what made me choose this image! It's colored with Copics to match my Imaginisce papers. I added a couple of Marianne's die cuts, a seam binding bow, a metal leaf brad, my sentiment from the Autumn Sentiments set by Raindrop Echo Designs at Whimsy Stamps and a few pearls!

Your next stop is Anita's Blog! Be sure to visit the Whimsy Stamps Store to see all the new digital stamps available today!

Have fun hopping and thanks for stopping by today!

You Make Me Happy

Hi there! I hope you joined us for the very first SCACD Friends with Heart Challenge last week! It's time for our second challenge and since we're friends with HEART...it's all about HEARTS, so we want you to use at least one heart on your project!

I picked this sweet image from the exclusive Carmen Medlin for SCACD Reflections #2 Collection called First Signs of Spring for my card today! She's colored with Copics, cut out and matted with a Spellbinders Nestabilities shape. I added layers of embellishments including a sheer bow, my sentiment from the new Whimsy Stamps EverydayMini Postage Stamps which is releasing this week, a few hearts cut using the Spellbinders hearts dies and a flourish from a Marianne's die set. I added a few pearls here and there for a little bling!

Be sure to stop by the SCACD Friends with Heart Challenge blog for all the details of the challenge and visit the other Design Team members blogs to see what they have to share with you today!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
