Whipper Snappers Hello Neighbor!

I bought this stamps set by Anna Wright from Whipper Snapper awhile ago now. I have used it before. It is called "Hello Neighbor". I bought it with the intention of making Thank You cards for my husbands business. He does house plans for people.
He likes to send thank you cards to I told him that I would use this set in some of his thank you cards. So far it has worked out well for me.

This card took me a long time to color as I was so picky that I kept doing it again and again. I think in all it took me two hours to get to this finished product. Way too long but it was a fun time. I have to admit. Coloring is just so realxing. I watercolored it with SU markers. I just love the colors. I actually was inspired to make this card from some examples that we received from Whipper Snapper when we placed our order. This card is alot like the sample but I added my own twist and used the cuttlebug for the background instead of dp. I have to say that I am pleased with how it turned out but I wish that I would have used my nesties on this one. I think they would have set it off wonderfully. Oh well maybe next time. I am sure that I will have more opportunities to use this set again.

I hope to get at some more cards the weekend.

Enjoy your weekend and take care

Graduation Time Again!

I made this card to give a friend of my dh as she got her degree at Memorial University doing night courses. It must be really hard working full time and getting a degree in the nights. Roma good for you girl!

This is another Whipper Snapper stamp that I bought awhile ago and never had a reason to use it until now. These stamps are just so fun to color. They are quickly becoming my favorite I think.

My dh told me that he thought it would be better not to use too many emblishments on this card as Roma is not a frilly person so this is what I came up with. For me I think a card is not complete unless I have some sort of emblishment. I love these fake dew drops that I bought in the candle section at Michael's. They add that extra little something that you need sometimes.

I am going up in my stamproom now to start something new so hopefully I will be back real soon to show you.

Take care

Yippee It's Friday!

I just love this cute image. It was so fun to color. I just have so much coloring with my copics. I think coloring is one of the reasons why I took up making cards. I have always missed coloring. When my daughter Staci was younger we spend many hours together coloring. She is grown up now so there is not much coloring anymore so cards are a great way of having fun coloring.

My favorite medium to color with is copics. I still am not completely thrilled with my coloring. Shading is just not my thing. I am working on it more and have found some wonderful videos on utube on the subject.

This is another Whipper Snapper stamp. I bought it months ago when my friend Kelly and I placed an order together. The shipping is so expensive that you really need to split the cost. Worked out great for both of us. Soon time to place another order I hope.

Hope you are enjoying the beginning of your weekend. I know for me I found this week so long that I am so glad that the work week is over. I really had a really bad week. Oh well, get over it and move on I guess.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Will be back soon with something new to show you.

I need to get back at the Card Sketches from Splitcoast.

Till later ...

Cheers

Whipper Snapper Birthday!

I bought this stamp awhile ago from Whipper Snapper. I really love the ease of coloring these stamps. They are such a pleasure to work with.

I like to keep some cards to have on hand so this is just one for my card drawer.

I bought this designer paper before Christmas for one of these fund raisers for school. It was a nice different variety of paper.

Sorry I wasn't here before now but I have had a number of things going on lately that kept me from the computer. Life just seems to get in the way of stamping way too much lately.

Will be back soon with another card to show you.

Enjoy your evening.

Cheers

Last Christmas Card !

I made this card for my dh for Christmas. I knew as soon as I saw this image that I had to give it to him. I think I told you before how much I love snowmen.

I had so much fun coloring this image. Whipper Snapper Stamps are tops with me. They definately are my favorite. The paper is SU Blitzen I think it is called. I really liked it and of course that means put it away and don't use it. I thought it was time to dust if off and use it. I bought this last paper last year.

Will be back soon with something a little different. Mice that I made for my cat with a story of why I made them.

Enjoy your evening!

More Christmas Cards!

I made this card for my friend Kelly for Christmas. The image is from an order that we went in on the shipping to from Whipper Snapper. I just love their designs. They are so whimiscal and so fun to color. Snowmen are just my favorite thing for Christmas so when I saw this image I just had to buy it.

I got to use some more of my SU dp from last year. If I remember correct the name of it is Blitzen. I really like how it is traditional read and green colors. I am more of a traditional personson myself when it somes to Christmas.

I also used this design to make a card for my dh Ev. I will be back tomorrow night with that one to show you.

I guess by now everyone is back to work after a bit of a Christmas holiday. I for one wish that I could have taken more time Christmas. I always find that I am so busy doing things for Christmas that I just don't have time to enjoy the season like I would like to do.

Enjoy the rest of your evening!

Happy 40th Birthday Tanya!

Today is my sister Tanya's 40th Birthday. I thought of her when I bought this stamp a while ago now so I just coulnd't wait to give it to her. Today we had our first snow storm and I just had to make it to Tanya's before the storm got really bad. Outside right now is really bad for sure. I woulnd' t want to have to go out now in this. Of course my daughter Staci is hoping that it will continue tomorrow and she will have no school. Who knows. We will have to wait and see. Right now I am so glad that all my family is home and safe. Tanya really liked this card so I was so glad. I felt good about this card.

Well Hello Doggie!



I made this birthday card for my daughter to give to her friend for her birthday. S he was pleased with how it turned out.

I bought this image from Whipper Snapper a little while ago. I think it is just so cute. One can never have enough dog stamps when you are an animal lover.

Hope you all are enjoying your Halloween night. We haven't had many trick or treaters tonight at all. I guess it has something to do with the H1N1. Can't blame people on keeping their kids home.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I will be back soon with another card to show you.

Cheers!

Pointsettia!




Hello again. I hope you all are feeling well and not getting that aweful virus H1N1.
So far me and my family haven't been sick with it. We are lucky so far. Hopefully it will stay that way.

I bought this stamp at a lss here in St. John's last year but never got around to using it. I think you may just see a few more cards using this stamp. I embossed this image first and then I watercolored it with reinkers. I enjoy coloring and this is the newest one for me to try and master. Master is the right word but you know what I mean if you have tried many different mediums to color with. Anyway ..

I will be back tomorrow with another card that I made using A Whipper Snapper Dog stamp that I have used before but think he is just so cute. I made this for my daughter to give to her friend Gabby for her birthday. She really liked it.

Stay warm, enjoy the weekend!

Wow! Can't Believe How Long It Has Been!



This is the first card that I have made in a long time. It feels so good to be back at stamping again. I have really missed it.

I made this Thank You for my husband to give to someone he did house plans for. He was pleased with how it turned out. I really should have gotten this done for him a couple of months ago and god love him he never kept nagging for me to get it done he would just give me a small hint from time to time. Thank you Ev for that.

I bought this stamp set months ago from Whipper Snapper. My friend Kelly and I placed our order together so we could save on the shipping. It is expensive for us to order from there. That way we both win. I really liked this set from the first time I saw it on their site.

Sorry this is short and sweet but I have had a very long day and am ready for some shut eye.

Will be back real soon with another card to share with you.

Cheers

Finally Got Some Stamping Done!



I bought this image awhile back and just haven't had time to stamp lately so this was a real treat getting to do this.

I just love this image. He is so cute.

I thought that he would go nicely with the SU paper that I have had awhile now.

I know that I haven't been here for awhile but it seems that life has just gotten so busy since I have been trying to lose weight. It is well worth it as I feel so much better but I do miss making some cards as well.

I am really hoping ot be back real soon.

Tks so much for visiting.

Take care. Enjoy your summer.

Staci's Exercise Journal!



On Sunday I was over at my friend Kelly's for a few hours. We had decided that we would make exercise journals. She had this sweet image and paper that I just had to borrow. I knew that Staci would love the paper as it looks like something a teenage would like.

This is the first time that I got to try some Whipper Snapper Stamps and I have to say that I just love them. They are so fun to color and are so whimsical. Great images.

I got to try out my new Cuttlebug alphabet that I got at a great bargain at our local hardware store. They are nomally $99 and I got them for $25. A great find indeed. I have always wanted a set but would never pay the money. This set is sweet, don't you think?

I have alot of fun making this and most of all Staci loved it so that made it for me. Hopefully she will use it though.

Today was a beautiful day here. Can't believe it was actually 11 degrees in March. A great break indeed. Maybe, just maybe we might get a Spring for a change. Living in Newfoundland we don't normally get a spring. Winter just goes right on through till May at least. A nice break today for sure. We can even see grass.

Hope you all are enjoying your week.

Will be back soon with another project.
Until then take care and enjoy yourself.
