BSS IDEA - Somebunny Loves You

WELCOME TO THE BUFFALO STAMPS AND STUFF IDEA.

Looks like Spring has sprung!!  
Seems like the birds returned early this year and there
are so many of them around.
Saw a pair of Robins a week ago during a morning
snow shower, I bet they were wondering what the heck
brought them back from the South so soon!!

Even our pond ice melted and the fish came out of hiding
and surfaced.  Now to watch for Herons!  Suppose we will
have to put the net over the pond again this year, because
once they know where to find fish, they return every year.
You would think that since we live close to the Niagara
River, they would have plenty of bigger fish to feast on.

Bio.
I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.  This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Many thanks to our generous sponsors,Simon Says Stamp

BSS IDEA - THE BEAR

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Idea

Hello friends.  I watched Sharon's Wednesday Video and saw
the new Colorado Stamp Company new stamps (among other
wonderful stuff) and fell in love with the Anita Jeram
beautiful bunnies and the sweet bear stamps. 

I bought a few of them because they are all so darling
I couldn't decide which one to get.

So, this week's card features one of them called
Happy Day (AJ455)

Going to be 60 degrees on Wednesday, enjoy a hint of Spring!





I experimented with water colors because I watched a video on
You tube and got inspired,  I am a Copics girl and despite
the fact that I took a watercolor class years ago at the stamp
show, I never quite mastered the art.  But I am going to work on
it.

Stamp - Colorado Craft Company -Happy Day (AJ455) includes the sentiment
Tim Holtz water color paper, I used the textured side.
Brown Card stock
Die - Wonky Ovals-Gina Marie Designs
Daisey - Creative Expressions Die
I spritzed the image with Dylusions Shimmer Spray, White Linen


That's it for me this week. 
Thanks for stopping by today.
Have a good week.
Until later....

Frolicking Dolphins


Hello friends.  Hope everyone is well.
Snow is finally melting and all the animal
tracks, left by nighttime visitors to the bird feeder,
deer, bunnies, and early morning squirrels, plus little
bird tracks from them eating the seed off the ground, are
melting away  It is fun to get up in the morning and
see who visited during the night when there is fresh snow
on the ground.

Have a new card today.




Dolphin image is a die cut from Creative Expressions (CEDPC1107)
Paper Cuts Collection-Dolphin Edger
I cut it out with an oval die instead of using it as an edge die.
Background paper is from a 12x12 stack from Michaels.
The sentiment is a very old stamp.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Have a good day.
Until later......
