Sweet Dreams – Little Blue Button Stamps

Hello! I’m sharing a card today made with the so cute Sweet Dreams digital image from Little Blue Button Stamps.

To create a soft dreamy effect, I pulled out my FSJ Color Splash pencils and watercolored the Sweet Dreams image. The background was created using FSJ silks onto watercolor paper and the stars by applying acrylic paint with a sponge using the FSJ Starbrite Stencil. The frame was embossed with the FSJ Wind & Water Embossing Folder and Catalina ink applied to the embossed areas. The final touch were the Splash Zone Sequins adding a little glitz and glam to the night sky.

I hope you sleep well with sweet dreams!

Hello Webster

I know many of you have had pets that have passed on and it can be heartbreaking to lose a pet that is like a child (ya know what I mean). I lost an angel puppy named Chewie several years ago. Once he was gone, I just didn’t want to invest my heart into having another puppy.

Chewie

Well, time heals all wounds and the last year I have wanted to share my life with another little buddy. I knew I wanted a puppy that looked like a Havanese. I researched Cavapoos, Bernedoodles, Shihpoos and several other breeds. Just by chance, I learned there is a breed which is a cross between a Havanese and a Poodle called a Havapoo.

I placed my name on a wait list and two days ago, I got the email saying I should look at the available Havapoos and choose the puppy I wanted. I chose a very cute chocolate and white puppy and named him Webster. I will be able to pick him up around August 2nd.

Here are some pictures of him. He looks so serious, but adorable.

Once I chose the puppy I wanted, I had to send a deposit to secure my choice. To celebrate having Webster being a part of the McGee family, I bought a digi stamp off of Etsy from Mujka designs. I colored the image with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and FSJ Color Burst pencils. The mats were cut out with a Pink and Main die from a very old paper pack from my stash.

Here is the card. It’s just so cute!

I will keep you all updated on the process and his first day home!

Hey You! – Little Blue Button Stamps July Release

It’s time for Little Blue Button Stamps July Release. The digital stamp I am featuring on my blog is “Hey You!”

She’s sassy, she’s cute, living it up in the big city. It’s a night on the town and she’s ready to have some fun. But, first she has to grab a cab. Hey you? Yes, you! I have places to go and people see!

This card uses a lot of creative elements. I used Distress Oxide inks for the sky background and took the negative of the cut out cityscape and spritzed FSJ Blue Lagoon Splash to create the skyline shadow. The FSJ Hero City die set is cut from Blue Lagoon cardstock. The frame is die cut from Lemongrass cardstock using a MFT stitched die set I have had in my stash for many a year. Pink and Main Basket Cover Die is cut from Pool Play cardstock with a Denim Days mat peeking out from under the Pool Play.

The LBBS, Hey You, girl is colored using Faber-Castell Polychromos and FSJ Color Burst pencils. She is popped up with foam squares. The final touch of glitz is Journey Sequins Blue Skies.
