BSS MONDAY IDEA - Somebunny Loves You

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Monday Idea.

Have you seen these sweet stamp sets?  Each one comes with a sweet
little girl, and a bunch of other stamps.  AND the best part is the entire
set cost $7.99 and they are red rubber cling stamps!

This set consists of the Little girl, a large lacy oval, a matching lacy border
stamp, the flower, a little bunny like the one she is holding,  and four small
accent stamps and a sentiment, ten pieces in all.

The colored index for these little gals is usually very dark colors, but
since it's Spring I did my card up with pastel colors.

BSS MONDAY IDEA - SWEET LAMB

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Monday Idea.

Well, the weather is supposed to get warmer and milder this week.  Spring 

can't be far off now.  Time to turn the clocks ahead soon, and St. Patty's Day

and Easter will be here before we know it.

I bought this little Lamb stamp a few weeks ago.  It has the sweetest face.

I decided to cut it out with an oval die, snip off a small piece of the bottom

to make it into an egg shape and frame it, so it resembled those 

beautiful eggs that you look into to see a scene.

Awww, right?

I fussy cut a second flower wreath and popped it up on her head.

The inside.

Stamp Stampendous- Floral Lambkin

(CRP277)

Paper - Perfectly Plaid-Fawn Lawn 6x6" pad

Inside Sentiment - Taylored Expressions - Big Bold Easter

Inside Border - Cheery Lyn Designs (B171) Bunny and Chick

Corner punch is Martha Stewart

Flowers and border around egg from my stash

Colored with Copics

Clouds made with sponge applicator and the torn

edge of a paper towel, 

Queen and Co pearls

Star Dust Stickles on floral wreath and bow on lamb

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Let's Hear it for the Girls

Hi friends.  I received an email from a website, Paper Wishes, the other day and so I went to see

what it was all about.  Well, their own brand is Hot Off the Press, which has been around for many years, but they also sell all other brands of stamping and scrapbooking supplies.

I saw these little girls in a stamp set and just had to get them.  Each one has so much personality. I made a set of small A-2 cards as a gift.  I bought three stamp sets, so you will be seeing more little girls and one set has carousel animals.  Almost every item has a video attached to it to view about the product, and their are so many videos you can watch for techniques and ideas.  

Aren't they just the cutest!  

Can't wait to ink up the other two stamps in the set 

and a lot of sentiments included too.

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

Woodlands Fairy

Hi Friends, supposed to get some snow tonight and tomorrow. Turned colder too again.  Not out of the woods yet!

I tried my hand at a CAS (clean and simple) style card today for the CAS challenge at

Split Coast Stampers.

The image is an old Digi by Robyn's Fetish (looks like

it is no longer available)

Yellow and white card stock

Sentiment is old also.

Used silver Stickles on the bells

Wow clear sparkle embossing powder on sentiment

Hard for me not to embellish more, but sure makes

mailing a lot easier.
