Yeah!! It's time for the Wags 'n Whiskers Spring Time Fun blog hop and release!!
You should have come directly from the Wags 'n Whiskers Blog. If you happened upon my blog, make sure to stop at the begining.
There will be 4 blogs that will have prizes, but you won't know which ones will have them. So go through the whole hop and comment on all of them...just in case they have the candy!!
Four lucky participants will win 2 stamps of their choice!!
Onto the release...
This release is extra special because we have a new artist joining us!! Cris de Lara is new to the stamping world and we are thrilled that she will be working for us.
This release is filled with a total of 13 images: 8 from the lovely artist Crissy Armstrong and 5 from Cris de Lara.
Today I have another image to share using one of Cris' illustrations...we are calling this line "The Wee Ones"!
This image is called Bedtime Story. Isn't she such a sweetie reading to her little bear?
I think this image would make a lovely card for a teacher...someone who helps teach our children a valuable tool...reading! So I am giving this card to Ansley's reading teacher for Valentine's Day.
I used the Midnight Madness simple sketch this week since Wags 'n Whiskers is the bonus weekly sponsor.
I used some Basic Grey Nook and Pantry DP and Brads, Primas, Teddy Charm, Flower Spacers, eyelet lace, and new silver headpins. I also added some Angel Wings shimmerz to the flowers (although I bet any of the yellow colored shimmerz or spritz would work lovely with these flower as well)...
This photo was taken in direct sunlight so you could see the shimmerz a little better.
The image was embossed in black and watercolored with Twinking H2Os...
Now it's time to hop on to our next stop. Just remember to comment on each stop because you don't know who will have the blog candy!
Also don't forget to check back on the Wags 'n Whiskers Blog after 7amEST/12pm GMT, because the stamps will be available to purchase TODAY!!
Our next stop is extra special! The Stamp Something Challenge DT is particpating in the hop because this week's Stamp Something Challenge is being sponsored by Wags 'n Whiskers.
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
