Hailey's Puppy with Unity Stamps

 This puppy from Unity Stamps steals my heart every time I look at it.  So of course, I had to pull out my coloured pencils (Kalour I think...) and make him the star of the show on a clean and simple card.


I paired him with a simply put sentiment from CC Designs, a piece of ribbon and some enamel dots.  That's it.  The image and the simple sentiment say all that needs to be said, and the white space just adds to the sincerity of it I think.

That's all for today folks, see you again soon!

A List Book with Artful Angel

 Are you a list maker?  I totally am.  I will make lists out of anything and everything lol.  I even prefer to plan using lists.  When I saw this Artful Angel Picture Perfect stamp set and the companion stamp set, Picture Perfect Frames, I realized one of them looked just like me!  And what better way to feature myself than to use it to deceorate something I love to do!


I coloured the images using my coloured pencils (athough I couldn't tell you which ones lol) and paired them with some other fun things from my stash such as dies from AALL & Create, Spellbinders and others.  I will use this list book all year long just for fun and then I will be able to look back on it after 2025 and see what I was having fun with!

Let's Celebrate with Aall & Create

 Helloooo my friends!  I am sharing a card with you today featuring the Buttercream Birdy Bliss stamp from Aall & Create.  


I paired the image with a Nesting Postage Die from Waffle Flower, as well as my Kalour colored pencils.  I also used the word die from the SCT sampler kit and a stamp from CC Designs' 20's Fellas stamp set.

I will be back again soon, stay warm!

Tracey Hey Buzzing For You

 I love these little critters that Tracey Hey designs.  They are so sweet and they are in abundance over on her website.  This card features the little bear and Beehive from the stamp set called Buzzing For You.



Unfortunately I don't remember which pencils I used for this project but I suspect it was my well-loved Prismacolor Premiere Pencils.

I paired the image with some paper from my stash and die cut the sentiment using an SCT Sampler word die.  Lastly I added some die cuts using AALL & Create's Heartnook and Intricatags die sets.

See you again soon friends!

Meow to You with Artful Angel

 It's a cold winter day today up here in the North!  Stay warm my friends.  And with that PSA, I am sharing today a tag made featuring the Meow to You stamp set, newly released by Artful Angel.

These sweet kitties can be customized for Christmas, birthdays or even Valentine's Day like I have here!

I have colored this sweet kitten with a variety of Copics and Kalour coloured pencils, and although I would love to tell you which ones...I did not write them down lol.  It's been a very busy month to say the least.

Love to you all and now back to our regularly scheduled programming, ie.  WINTER.
