My first Sarah K
This past weekend I started to watercolor again, it seemed to fit these images better than the copics so I started playing and ended up liking the results.
And because I really liked the way this turned out I have a closeup too~
These sweet Sarah K images are available at stampavie.com, if you would like to take a peek.
I’m hoping to knock out a few things tomorrow while Audrey has her therapy. I’ve got way too many ideas and just plain not enough time.

A new favorite and an old favorite
Today I got the chance to play with my big order of fresh MFT stamps! I also picked up a pack of the memory box homespun paper and I just love it! I had been eyeing it for a while but decided to just get it this time. I also threw in 2 packs of petaloo flowers, jeweled florettes. I don’t know how I was missing these for so long! You get 80 flowers in a pack with crystals in the center!
Now you had to know that I would love the Flopsey charchter! After all I am the gal who made these for my ATC swap.
So I was giggling as the previews came in for flopsey! I KNEW I had to have him, and I just couldn’t wait to play!
The finished size is 4 1/4 squared. And I just have to make sure to dirty up the wheelbarrow, overalls, carrots (they are straight from the ground) and a touch of soil on his little tail! I can’t wait to see what other adventures Flopsey is going to have!
And because your visiting while I’m feeling generous, I have another card to share with you! (wink)
I’ve actually had this image colored for a couple weeks, but yet to put the card together. Luckily I didn’t forget about it and got busy while I had some time today.
Be sure to join me Thursday as I host the Unity Stamps project of the week! It’s a fun one!

It’s Tuesday Jacksonbelle challenge time again, and this week I would like to introduce you to a sweet little gal named Chloe Marie:
Chloe Marie is a new line of paper, chipboard elements and rub on’s from Daisy D. It is so seriously sweet! I decided to use my Patterned BugsInka set to go with this as well as the chelsea sentiments set. I stamped the long butterfly trail in bayou ink onto the chloe marie. The sentiment is stamped in basic grey ink and the ladybugs from the patterned bugs set in purely pom ink. I added shading around the ladybugs with a stardust pen, then highlighted the flowers with a white pen and used a silver copic spica on the head and antennae. Sewing, distressing and paper piercing were added and then the wee, littlest buttons you have ever seen were added. Primaswith more buttons and then white ric rac may arts ribbon with some paper piercing on either side.

- And now onto some extra EXCITING news!!!!! you may remember these cards
Well I had wandered over to the Stampavie website to see if I was missing out on new items. And I see a banner for DT submission.I believe this was 3 days before it ended, so I was cutting it close. I had such a hard mix of emotions about this because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the styles of these stamps. They make me happy in a way few stamps do.But I realized that these stamps had a strong following in Europe and would have a lot of peopel submitting their work. I know that when I submit to a magazine or even a DT call that it’s possible submissions are given from all over the world. But this was definately going to be open to a lot more people then I could imagine. And I almost didn’t want to put myself up for rejection. But 2 days before the deadline I sent it in and have been waiting for 9 days until this morning…….

My name is on the list but I removed it because I wanted to give you the links to all the fabulous ladies! It has been an AMAZING month for myself and I can say that this was the most stressful DT call I have ever participated in. And simply because it was international and I had no idea what style they were looking for since this is their first DT call and team. I am amazed and want to pinch myself because I am a part of such talented ladies. Thank you for allowing me to gush about my excitement!!! I was jumping up and down in my pajamas this morning when I saw my name!
And now I’m off to watch my trusty “Golden Girls” I love them!
Some things are moving around on my blog, I need a better system for linking everyone and keeping it tidy.So far this summer is turning out fantastic for me, unfortch I can’t tell you just yet. But wait because things are really ONLY getting better! It’s been a very VERY good week.
