Hello friends. We have a new challenge over on Di's DigiDesigns Challenge Blog. Our challenge is "All Things New", such as New Year, new baby, new home, etc.
I used Di's Angel Bear to make a baby card. I colored this sweet little bear with copics and colored pencils and used Glossy Accents on his nose and feet. I added Glamour Dust to the star, his wings, and the cloud. I added a bow with a sentiment tag and some brads.
Our challenge is being sponosored by Joanna Sheen and you have a chance to win a $10 voucher to their fabulous shop. Please be sure to stop by Di's DigiDesigns Challenge Blog to check out the amazing work by the rest of the DT. We would love to see you play along in our challenge.

Happy Friday friends. We have a new release for you over on the StampFairy Blog.
This cute little bear is one of the adorable images from the new Barry Countdown to Christmas collection. I love these new bears that Gerda has designed. I colored this sweetie with copics and colored pencils and used Glamour Dust on the hat, ornaments, and ground snow. There's Glossy Accents on his nose and one of the red ornaments. The tiny little ornaments that I've tied with silver cord ... well, that image is a freebie from Gerda this week and you can make it any size you like. How fabulous is that? My snowflake is from a die and I added a little heart button and sentiment tag.
Here's the entire Barry Countdown to Christmas collection and you can find them over in the StampFairy Shop. Please be sure to stop by the StampFairy Blog to see the gorgeous work by the rest of the DT.

Good morning friends. I have a special post for you today. StampFairy is celebrating its birthday, so Gerda and the Stampfairies are hosting a blog hop. And guess what? Everyone who completes the hop wins a prize! Now, how great is that?
Gerda has released two very special collections showcasing two of her delightful characters. These collections showcase the characters in 12 monthly themes throughout the year and the Stampfairies have each created a calendar using these images. Some of us are teasing you with only a month or two of our calendars, but some of my teamies will be sharing the entire 12-month calendar with you!
Please make sure that you leave a comment on each teamie's blog and collect a letter from each blog along the trip. The letters are randomly placed but will spell a short phrase. Once you've completed the hop, left your comments at each and every blog, collected your letters, then you need to work out the phrase and email it to Gerda at webmaster@stampfairy.com. This will get you a freebie image. That's right, a freebie for everyone who completes the hop and emails the correct phrase to Gerda. And I'll let you in on a little secret: the freebie image is adorable!
So, let's get on with the hop. If you have arrived here from Sharon's blog then you are in the right place. If not, please pop back to the StampFairy Blog to start at the beginning so you don't miss anyone.
My calendar showcases Barry and I'm sharing the months of April, November and December. I'll share the recipe for each calendar page below in case you're interested. I will be finishing my calendar pages over the next couple of weeks and then I'll assemble it with my bind-it-all.
The next stop on the hop is Martina's blog, but be sure you leave me a comment first so that you qualify for the freebie. You also need to make note of this letter:
Thank you so much for stopping by. The blog hop ends December 31, 2011, so get hopping before the deadline. If you get lost along the way, hop back to the StampFairy Blog to find the list of blogs.
I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
Hugs, Anita

Happy Wednesday! All of you wonderful visitors certainly make my life sweeter.
This beautiful girl is called Domestic Goddess. She's one of the latest Simply Sassy releases over at Funky Kits. She's out of stock right now but I'm sure she'll be back in the shop shortly. I used my Distress Inks to color this sweetie. Wish I looked this cute when I was cooking ... bet my hubby also wishes I looked this cute when I was cooking lol! I added some flowers with tiny pearls and some twill ribbon. That twill ribbon is some I've had forever and bought it on clearance for super cheap. The sentiment I picked up for 50 cents at a garage sale held by my LSS and I knew I'd be able to use it someday. I love a bargain and I especially love when I actually use them instead of shoving them on a shelf and forgetting about them :)
Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Hello friends. I'm sorry I haven't been around for a couple of days. A nasty bug came to visit me and I didn't think it was ever going to leave. I finally shoved it out the door last night and now I'm feeling much better. So I'll be around to catch up on all your blogs soon.
Please meet Cinderella, one of the latest Simply Sassy images released by Sugar Nellie. I just love this stamp as I think she's so pretty. OK, I know I say that about all of them, don't I lol? She's colored with distress inks. I've used Glamour Dust on her tiara and the bows on her shoes. I added some flowers and some glittered hearts to finish my card.
