Mr. Snowman



This fun snowman is called Snowball Sam at A Day for Daisies!  Isn't he adorable?
I had fun coloring but after the stickles dried I realized his red button ran!




A Day For Daisies began as a small token to a constant need to create. Pairing a love of whimsical illustration, with a tidy graphic design background, Tammy S Thompson, produced her first stamp designs, introducing irresistibly sweet stamps to crafters around the globe. Drawing inspiration from the beautiful world around us, she strives to express the happiness and gratitude she feels in each stamp design she creates.
Presently, A Day For Daisies has grown to over 3,000 Digital Stamps with a quickly expanding line of Best Loved Clear Polymer. A Day For Daisies has been published and awarded over the years for innovative and unique designs created to inspire the crafting community. With a whole team behind her now, she remains passionate about illustration, obsessed with quality, and dedicated to her customers. A Day For Daisies thanks you for your ideas, comments, and creativity!

Kimono Pip and Baby Giraffe


This week I used two different images from Digi Stamp Boutique.  I love this little Kimono Pip and needed a birthday card for my sweet grand daughter.  I'm sure she will love it.

I also needed some baby cards so I made three nearly identical.  I believe this image, baby giraffe,  has been retired but I have used it before and love it for a baby card.

Summer Days

Looking forward to those Summer Days again!  The PNW weather this year has been predominately cool and rainy. Less than a month from now will be the longest day of the year and I feel like we haven't even had spring yet....just longing for some 70-75 degree weather along with some full sunshine!  So this is the reason I chose this adorable image from Digi Stamp Boutique!  Love this Summer Chubby Set.  You can find it here.   I hope you will play along this week at SSW2.

You've Got My Heart on a String!



This little image got my heart on a string!  If you love her as much as I do....you can find her at Bugaboo Stamps.  She makes a great Valentine, Birthday, Mother's Day or a special friend card. It was a dark day when I photographed her so the turquoise paper is actually a little brighter, more turquoise than the green hue but when I played with the color then it changed the yellow too.

I hope you will play along at SSW2 so you can have a chance at winning 4 free images from Bugaboo.  Who knows you may be that lucky winner?
