Jesse

I have news!  I was lucky enough to be selected for the Bugaboo stamps design team.  I can't tell you how exciting this is for me & I am looking forward to my time there.  Jodie has the neatest digital designs and something for every occasion.  She offers lots of challeges, every Friday she offers a free design... it's going to be a blast!  This is Jesse Bear Angel, a sweet, sweet little image from Bugaboo Stamps, home of some of the cutest digital stamps ever! I used my Copics to colour him, cut out the circles with my Nestabilities & then added Stickles to the halo, heart & stars.  I printed off a few more of the images, coloured & cut out the stars & added them with dimensional stickies.

Chester

Here's my 2010 Easter card & it features Chester the bunny & is a Whipper Snapper stamp.  I cut the oval with my Nestabilities & yes, it does open as a card.  I used my Copics to colour him, a little dab of ribbon & that's it.

Angelina's Balloon

Now who hasn't done this... rubbed a balloon in their hair for the static effect.  Mo Manning has captured the fun into her digital image which is called Angelina's Balloon.  I used Basic Gray designer paper & coloured the image with Copic markers.  The little pearls are Reflections.

Just Hanging Around

This sweet little gal is from Bugaboo Stamps Raggedy Angel line & is called Moon.  I coloured her using my Copics, added some Reflections pearls, the paper is from a large pad of Martha Stewart designer papers.  I added Stickles to the halo & wings to give them some sparkle.  If I get time, I would like to make a 'boxed set' of these for someone which would consist of 12 cards, each one with a different Raggedy Angel.  No... make it 7 cards because she doesn't have 12 but I'm sure if we asked, she could whip them off in a hurry.

Frogs, Frogs, Frogs!

This card was made using Stampin Up cardstock, Basic Grey's designer paper & a sparkly little brad I had in my stash.  I used Stampin Up Old Olive to stamp the High Hopes Irish Blessing sentiment & Copics for Frog in Boxers.  Both stamps were purchased from Paper Romance (quick delivery, great customer service).  I cut the froggy out & gave him dimension glued him on using Stampin Up's Dimensionals.  Then I added booglie eyes to spiff him up a bit.  Nothin' like big, buggy eyes!

Whipper Snapper - Megan & Cloe

I did up a couple Whipper Snapper stamps & did the cards in the same style.  The first is Megan  & the one holding her little bunny is Cloe.  I love those Whipper Snappers!  They have very cute & whimsical stamps.  The cardstock is an ordinary plain white & I used Stampin Up's French Script inked in Tim Holtz's Frayed Burlap distress ink.  I'm just starting to use more of his products & am liking them a lot.  It just occurred to me... if a person was married to Tim Holtz, you could have every colour of Distress Ink & every colour of Stickles, one of each of his stamps he has... oh my....
My daughter has introduced me to the Nellie Snellen die cuts which are fabulous.  I used the oval for the outer ring & then my Nestabilities oval for the inner.  I couldn't decide if I should add some flowers to jazz these cards up so I settled & did one of each.
