Lemon-aid

Good morning Whimsy fans!  I hope your week has gone well and you have some fun plans for the holiday weekend. 

 

I just adore this new stamp from Krista Heij-Barber called Lemon-Aid.  How stinkin' cute is this one? It's also easy peasy to color up no matter the medium you choose.  I went with Copics this time around, but next time I think I'll pull out my zig markers.

Thanks for stopping in for a visit today!

Elephant and Flowers

Good morning Whimsy Fans!  I hope your week has gone well and you've found some crafty time!

I think this stamp is overloaded with the cuteness factor:)

This stamp by Lee Holland is called Elephant with Flower. 

The background was done with Distress Paints and Sprays.  I did a video on this technique several months ago and I promise it's super easy, though maybe a little messy!

This cutie was colored up with Copics, and polychromo colored pencils.

Thanks for swinging by for a visit today!

 

Tilly...Little Spring Helper

Happy Thursday to everyone!  I hope your week has gone well and you have some fun plans for this weekend.  It's my turn (Shelby) to bring you a little Whimsy inspiration today.

I couldn't help but bring out Tilly with hopes that Spring isn't too far off.

 

This stamp is from the Little Cottage Cuties collection and is called Tilly Little Spring Helper

The sentiment is from this month's clear stamp new release called Painted Sayings

Thanks for stopping by today for a visit and here's hoping Spring may be just a couple months away!!

Only 3 more days!! Well 2 until Santa does his thing. I'm using just two of the fabulous stamps from Crissy today and using them for shaker tags.

This sweet pair is called 2 Christmas Tales at the North Pole.  I've used my Fuse tool to create the shaker right around the colored image.

No cutting or measuring of paper...just zipping right along with the Fuse tool on a cellophane bag.

This shaker tag is using the Penguins carry the Tree stamp.  Both tags were colored up with Copics.  

And here are both of them together.

Bountiful Ceci

Hello Whimsy Fans!  I hope your week has been going well and you're getting in some crafty time.  My kids went back to school last week, so it's been so nice having a quiet house and getting caught up on projects that have been long neglected!

As we move into the Autumn season, I thought Bountiful Ceci would make for a perfect Autumn image.

She's been colored up with copics and colored pencils for the deeper shadows.

Thanks for stopping by today and hope your upcoming weekend is fabulous!

Sounds of the Sea

Good morning fabulous Whimsy fans!  I hope this post finds you well and creative.  It's my turn to give you a dose of daily Whimsy inspiration.

It's definitely summertime in the Rockies...the only thing missing is the ocean!  I'll live vicariously through this sweet beach scene from Art by Miran called Sounds of the Sea.  The word die "dream" can be found HERE.  It was colored with Prima sprays on self adhesive fun foam and cut with the die.

Thanks for visiting today and enjoy the rest of your week!
