Hello stamping friends!! Are you ready to hop?!
Today is the Wags 'n Whiskers Princess Digital Stamp Blog Hop and Release!! The stamps will be available at 7amEST/12noonGMT today.
You should have arrived from Vicky. If not you, might want to start at the top at the Wags 'n Whiskers Blog. Why? Because there is candy along the way. To be entered into the candy, you will need to leave a comment on the correct blogs. You won't know which ones they are so you might as well leave a comment at each stop!
Instead of a card, I wanted to show how these stamps can be easily incorporated into scrapbook layouts. I love finding just the right image for pictures of my kids. And these were practically made for each other...
How cute is that?! Not just my daughter Ansley at 2 years old, but how well the image fits these pictures.
I showcased Dress up Millie earlier this week on a card. If you missed it, you can see it here.
I had a hard time taking pictures. The papers are really a deep dark blue. The pictures all seem to wash out the colors. It was later in the day when I took the pictures and I think I had the light on - which would give a yellow tint to pictures. I may try to take better pictures and swap them out.
I had the idea of the lace-up look from a layout in the latest Creating Keepsake Magazine. The sample layout was an Egg Hunt with spring colors and I love how she laced the ribbon through the pages.
Now, how cute is my little chunk monster?! These pictures were taken after Ansley's 2nd birthday party. I bought her this princess dress up set for her birthday and it was too small for her!! Her little tummy was not so little at the time!! But what do you expect? She was 9 pounds 2 ounces when she was born!
I miss her little curls!
Now it's time to hop on over to Angelique...
Products used:
Paper (from my stash, not sure who it's from), crown, corners, pearls, ribbon, date frame.
What a darling :) . She is beautiful.

Hi Lacey. Just doing the hop & thought I'd say a quick hello! Also thankyou so much for giving me the opportunity to be involved with such a fabulous & popular stamp range, I've found out first hand just how respected these images are & feel even more priveliged to be working with them.
I LOVE this design & some of the products you've used are just to die for. Love that crown, the TH ornate book plate, the swirls & the chipboard letters. Ok so thats everything! Those pics are v. sweet too & your right - they match the image perfectly!
