Hello Friend!

I had to get this fun stamp set, Hello Beautiful by Newton's Nook, during last months STAMPtember at Simon Says Stamp. So many possibilities with it since it has so many sentiments!

I decided to ink up the cute kitty cat for my first card using this set. It's nice to have the coordinating dies as well!

Polka Dot Pals Odelie

Even though I really, really don't like crutches (I use my scooter as much as possible!), I thought this cute digi stamp, Polka Dot Pals Odelie, from Little Miss Muffet Stamps was too cute to pass up! 

Be sure to check out and play along with the new Little Miss Muffet Challenge that started today!! It's anything goes so easy peasy! Check out all the details~ HERE!

I am very thankful that I didn't have this surgery in the summertime. Although it would be easier with clothing, I'd be so embarrassed with my hairy legs as shaving is something that just doesn't happen! LOL!

I feel a little rusty with making cards so this is a super simple one to help me get my groove back!

Countryside Bouquet...again!

I really loved coloring and creating with the digi, Countryside Bouquet from Power Poppy yesterday so I decided to color it up one more time before moving on. I've always loved seeing the same image colored and created with in numerous different ways. 

I messed up and colored one of the flowers the wrong color but I think it's still okay. Maybe. I was just having so much fun I got carried away! 

I had some help from Alyssa with photographing the card~

Winter Princess

Last month I found out I had been featured as a Spotlight Winner at Crafting By Designs Challenge Blog. You can see that post~ HERE!  I was honored to find out that because I was one of the Spotlight Winners, I was asked to be a guest designer for their November 5th challenge of Anything Goes!! How fun is that!!

For my card I used the Whimsy Stamp, Winter Princess from artist, Art by Miran. I also used the Whimsy Shapeology Die-Winter's Jewel 1. I think it's just such a pretty snowflake!!

A big thanks to Crafting By Designs for having me as a guest designer! Be sure to go check them out and why not play along with their Anything Goes Challenge!
