A Shaker Card

Mini Magnolias in the Park

I really like this little park scene from the Mini Magnolia collection, very versatile little stamp & of course I'm so hung up on the minis right now.

A Note

This is a Digi stamp from Tiddly Inks, haven't made too many Digi stamp cards but I'm having fun with these.

Brds in Love

I don't usually make Valentines but when I saw this little stamp at Michaels for $1.50 of course I couldn't just leave it there eh.  Then of course I wanted to use my new tulip punch & my new butterfly punch, so this is how this card came to be :-)

The Little Chef

3 of the stamps I used for this card are borrowed from a good friend of mine but I thought they went well with the 2 of mine, yep 5 stamps used on this little card.  Now the little thing on the ribbon is a rolling pin with a butterfly sitting on it.  I don't know why in the picture it looks like it's bent, it really isn't.........hmmmmm

Friends Resting

Mimosa's Summer Day

They just have so many very nice stamps I really need to win the lottery.....lol

Mimosa's Flower

This is one of my new Bildmalarna stamps, I have 3 total but I can see having lots more of these little cuties.

A Walk in the Rain

I just love that little dog in the raincoat so of course I had to ink him up again.  I'm liking this one done in the blues the best.

Slider Pop-up

You should see my first attempt at this card, what a mess, dogs thought so too & decided to play tug of war with it.  I'm still not thrilled with this one, had I know it would turn out so well, the slider pop-up part I would've used blue & silver but figuring this would go the way of my first one I just grabbed the gold. 

So Tiny

My Jewel

This one is for a swap called "Jewels", I just knew she'd be the perfect character to use for this swap, she's from High Hope Stamps.  This card has a total of 16+  little gems on it, of course I had to add a little glitter to her hair as well, you just can't see it in the pic.

My First Calendar

My Little Butterfly Book

Little Calendars

A friend of mine sent me a really nice little calendar, I liked it so much I had to try making some myself & she kindly sent me the calendar pages who were designed by another friend.  I've been putting my new Cinch to work & it really is a "cinch" to work it.

Just Walking in the Rain

My first Sarah Kay stamp but when I saw the raincoat on that little Peppe I just had to have it.

Winter Shopper

I Love My Dog

I know the eyes look funny but I was playing with my new white pen, good thing it's only in the pics they look like this......lol

People Walker

My first 2 cards in /11, I think, the other is below.

innocence & Flowers

Another cutie by Penny Johnson, she creates some really adorable stamps.  When I took a quick look at this stamp I thought she was carrying a Christmas tree, good thing I took a second look as I thought I already had too many Christmas stamps........lol

Walking the Dog with a Smile

This was such a cute Penny Johnson stamp I just couldn't resist.

The Minis are Skating on Frozen Pond

These Magnolia stamps are just so fun to work with & I've always enjoyed playing with my High Hopes stamps.

Tilda with the Candy Tins

Fairy Tilda

Mini Magnolia's

Are these girls not just too cute for words.  My first mini Magnolia's arrived yesterday & I couldn't even wait to mount them before playing with them.  Double sided tape worked just fine for my initial stamping.

 Now that white cardstock came to be because I was in a rush to finish up another card so I was using the scrap for punch outs.  I punched the circle first, after punching the flowers I thought what a perfect layout for the start of a card.  Some days I have way too much fun with my stamps.

A Couple of more Christmas Cards

A Couple of Fur Babies

This first guy is Patches, our 3 yr old Fox Terrier, he has such a good disposition & oh sooooo much energy.  He lost his 14 yr old big brother so we thought he really needed a little brother.  Well the next guy is Leroy, 3/4 Shih-Tzsu & 1/4 Bichon Frise, he is just 12 weeks old.  What a character this little one is & they play so well together.
