Have a tail-waggin' terrific day!

Happy Friday to all of you.  There's a new release on the StampFairy Blog.


This cute little puppy is Hugo ... kinda reminds me of my little Yorkie Terrier.  He's colored with copics and colored pencils and I applied some Glossy Accents to his nose.  This card is going to my grandson and he always looks to see if I've used the "shiny stuff" on the animal noses lol!  I used my Sizzix paw print embossing folder on the white cardstock but it doesn't really show very much since I layered the image on top of it.  I added some brads and buttons to finish my card.

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Hugs, Anita

This little cutie pie is . . . Do Si Do Anya!

My second card is also colored with copics and colored pencils.  I added some ruffled lace and a few buttons to finish this card.  I love the bright colors in this dp.

A Sparkly Bubble Bath

Good morning sweet stamping friends.  Today I'm sharing a card with an adorable Lili of the Valley image.


Isn't this bunny couple just the cutest?  I won this stamp in a giveaway that sweet Elaine had.  I adore Lili of the Valley images and I know they just came out with a new release.  I haven't even been to their website to check it out because I know I'm going to want way too many of them :)  I'm trying to be good and use my stamps that have never seen ink.  OK, so on to my card.  I used copics and colored pencils.  I added Creative Inspirations Paints to the champagne and water to give them some sparkle.  And do you see that flower?  I made that with the My Favorite Things Loopy Bloom Die-namic.  I've had that die for the longest time but hadn't used it.  I have to say I love the big soft flowers that it makes ... kinda reminds me of a bunny tail too. 

Creative Inspirations Paints also has a challenge blog and you can get all the details here.  You have a chance to win some of their fabulous paints if you play along in the challenges. 

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you have a great day!

I'm a TGF Premiere Farmer!

Hello sweet friends!  Well, as you've probably guessed from my post title, I've been asked to be a Premiere Farmer for The Greeting Farm.  I have been so excited and it's been really hard to keep this little secret to myself :) 

So let me share one of the newest stamps being released ... Shiny Bean.  I have two cards to show you today.



Isn't she absolutely adorable?  I love those long braids and she's so easy to color!  I used copics and colored pencils and added some Glamour Dust on her wings, stars, and butterflies.  I made a rosette from some lace and added a flower, some butterflies and a few pearls.


For my next card, I decided to use some brighter colors.  Again she's colored with copics and colored pencils and I've used Glamour Dust for some sparkle.  I added a doily, a bow, and a few buttons.  I put a tiny little glittered star on the bow, along with a floss bow.

OK, now you need to head over to The Greeting Farm Blog to see who else is going to be a premiere farmer this term.  You'll also get to see their gorgeous projects :)  We're having previews all week so be sure to stop by to check out the rest of the new stamps.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Hugs, Anita
