Baby Banner

Happy Thursday friends!  We are officially on the downhill slide for the week and one day closer to the weekend!

Not only is Easter this weekend, but it is also the due date for two of my friends..can't wait for new babies!

My amazing group of fire wives celebrated with a new momma-to-be, who is anxiously awaiting the arrival of baby Jackson and I made this adorable banner to hang up at the baby shower.  The baby's room is all decorated in a Woodland Animal theme, so I just had to dig out an old favorite to stamp these cute little critters.

 Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Tip Top Taupe, Hello Honey, Pool Party, Very Vanilla, Sweet Li'l Things DSP, Watercolor Paper

Ink ~ Tip Top Taupe, Old Olive, Watermelon Wonder, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Tangelo Twist

Stamp Sets ~ Larger Than Life Alphabet & Numbers, Life in the Forest

Other Supplies ~ Woodland Embossing Folder, Circle Framelits, Party Pennants Bigz Die, Linen Thread, Felt Pom-Poms

I love making banners and was honored to make this for baby Jackson!

Freshly Made Fox

Happy Thursday friends!  I have managed to find a little time for some just for fun stamping this week...this makes me happy!  I pulled out one of my older stamps and Blendabilities and partook in some creative therapy yesterday morning.  Do any of you find coloring as calm and relaxing as I do?!?!

I wanted to play along with this weeks sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches, so after I got my little fox and trees all colored, I got to work and added them into this sketch:

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Pool Party, Crushed Curry, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive, Whisper White, Watercolor Paper, Flowerpot DSP

Ink ~ Pool Party, Crushed Curry, Craft Stamin' Ink, Tuxedo Black Memento, Pumpkin Pie Blendabilities, Old Olive Blendabilities, Crumb Cake Blendabilities

Stamp Set ~ Life in the Forrest, And Many More

Other Supplies ~ Aqua Painters, Crystal Effects, Hand Held Circle Punches

 

I forgot how cute this stamp set...I love this little fox!!!!  And it was fun pulling out some paper and ink colors that I haven't used in a while either.

 

Hi-ho, hi-ho...it's off to work I go!  Another busy day ahead of me :)

 

Happy Stamping!



Love Ya Foxy

Happy Wednesday friends!  I finally made it down to my craft room yesterday and it was soooo nice to play with some paper, ink and stamps...and I felt so much better after.  Stamping really is my therapy! 

I started this card the morning of my surgery and just didn't have enough time to get it done before the challenges expired, but I still wanted to share it.

I just realized I used Tangerine Tango card stock and Pumpkin Pie ink for the fox...oops!  Oh well, it still works, right?

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Baked Brown Sugar, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Pool Party Core'dinations, Watercolor Wonder DSP, Watercolor Paper

Ink ~ Jet Black StazOn, Pumpkin Pie, Gumball Green, Blushing Bride, Versa Mark

Stamp Sets ~ Life in the Forest, Just Sayin', Hardwood

Other Supplies ~ Word Bubbles Framelits, Starburst Framelits, Arrows Textured Embossing Folder, Decorative Dots Embossing Folder(SAB)

 

I was totally inspired by my good friend Katie over at Sweet n Spiffy and just had to CASE her Colour Me....Playful! card from last week....so cute!!!  The challenge colors are perfect for this little critter stamp set :-)  And last weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge was the perfect sketch for a fun little forest scene.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today!  I'm hoping to have more posts up this week and next...going to stamp my little heart out while I'm forced to take time off from work ;-)

 

Happy Stamping!
