Napping Bear

First of all, let me apologize for the dark photo. I do not have a light box like some of you girls(!) and I have to make do with the natural light from my kitchen window. Over the last few days here in NC it has been quite cloudy and rainy so not much brightness in my window!

This cute little bear is from Elzybells in the UK. They have such a great selection of whimsical stamps for all occasions. I used a combination of some Basic Grey Nook and Pantry DP and some MME Home DP. I colored him using PrismaColors and blending with baby oil.

My card is also a submission for the Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge. Check out Taylors Blog for the sketch diagram.

Here's hoping that the sun comes back soon so my photos will be lighter!!!

Elzybells Baby Moon

Oh my - two posts in one day... I must be obsessed with stamping (go figure....)

I just saw a challenge over on the CCEE Stampers Blog to create a baby card. I knew I had created one but had not uploaded it on my blog - so here it is!

We have had plenty of babies born at our church recently and I made two of these cards for baby boys born within the last month. I started out with this adorable stamp from Elzybells and paired it with paper from My Little Yellow Bicycle and Night of Navy cardstock.

I think that's it for today, but I can't promise!

Cute Easter Chicks

Good morning everyone!

I just had to play around with this stamp from Elzybells. I think I got it last Spring but this was the first time I was brave enough to use it. I took a lot longer to color in than I first thought(!) I chose the colors from the Nana's Kids stack from DCWV and of course, used my PrismaColor pencils to color in the image. The colors are so pretty - I don't think my camera does it justice. (I need to learn how to play around with my cameras settings so that I can show the best possible images on my blog.)
