The Best Part Of My Day!

It's my turn to show off another Lilly Mae today!  "The Bird Keeper" These stamps are so fun and simple to color!  Luv them!  I've put this blue bird and blue apron color together with one of my favorite colors "Orange"!  At first, I thought perhaps I made an error in judgement but when I added the browns into the ribbon and floor with my Copics, it came together very well!

Papers are by Michele Roos, the Dies are Bird Cage Shapeology Die and Darling View from The Little Darling Rubber Stamps! 

 You'll find more info and embellishment links on my blog, so stop by and pay me a visit!   

Thanks for Visiting,

Tracey Malnofski From The Stamping Boutique

Today I'd like to introduce to you one of the stamp designers that we work with. Tracey Malnofski from The Stamping Boutique is the most amazing artists I've ever met. She is so divers in what she creates that every time I see a new image from her I'm totally amazed all over again.

Tracey and I have teamed up to offer you her designs in clear photopolymer stamps. All of Tracey's digis have been digitally redrawn so the lines are crisp, clean and smooth and give the best stamping impression your looking for when creating a project. 

All of her stamps come in a resealable cellophane package with all our contact information. The stamps are on a front & back acetate sheet. The front sheet includes the stamp image laserd onto the front of the acetate sheet so you can see the stamp image through the package.

Tracey's artwork is perfect for card making, scrapbooking and mixed media. 

You can view all of Tracey's stamps here. 

Tracey has an online digi store as well "The Stamping Boutique". You really should stop by her website and have a look. There are tons of beautiful images to work with and make paper crafts from.

Pickin Cherries!

Happy Monday craft lovers!  I hope all of my American friends had a fabulous and safe Independence Day?  I know we did, burgers, dogs and chips!  Yummy!  

Today I'm going to share one of the NEW Lilly Mae illustrations now on sale in here in the store!!  The design paper is Authentique and full of little dusty brown birds on tree limbs and a beautiful color coordinated wood grain.  The image was colored with my copics and cut with Spellbinders dies.  I've loaded the right side with blossom die cuts from the Darling Squares set of dies and the left with bits and bobs from my stash.  There's even a little cherry charm and a beautiful red and white stick pin too that match the beautiful butterflies from Angelica's Etsy Shop!  

This project is loaded with extras that work together to create a summer scene that brings back wonderful old memories of when we were young!

Copics are listed on my blog but the skin tones are E000,E13, E93,E95

More specific information on Copics and places to find the little places where I get my bits and bobs!

Thanks for joining me here today!  Have a great rest of your Monday!

Hugs,
