A Surprise Post

I haven’t done one of Julee’s Mojo Monday sketches in a while and I couldn’t resist doing this one. It was a great sketch to do and once I picked my image it was easy to complete. This is another Penny Black stamp. I thought it would be a good one to also use to do some silhouette image cards. I will be trying that soon as I would like to play with brayering on…

Hedgehog on Daisy

Ahhh!  I realized after posting this that my sentiment is crooked.  Oh well, can’t do anything about it now but will have to fix it before I send it (mmm… maybe, just shows the fact that it is handstamped and not perfect!). I have been having a blast using my Penny Black images.  I just love Hedgehogs.  Anybody know of any other companies that make cute hedgehog stamps? I relaly like the layout of this…

Anni-Verve-sary 7

Wow three posts in one day!  I think that is a record for me. I have been trying to use colors I haven’t used in a while to just give me something different to work with.  I am so anxious for the new catalog and stamps.  I have my wish list already created and can’t wait for some new stamps.  I am on the lookout for some cute stamps like Fluffles and the Hedgehogs by…
