"All My Friends Are Flakes"

Whimsical Designs Stamp Line-Update

Finally! I am not sure what is going on with blogger but I have not been able to upload pictures or even post from my blog since Friday. In addition, some of my badges, labels, and post have disappeared. I also hear there is trouble with commenting. If you head on over to my Shop it says all stamps will start shipping next week. That is not the case all stamps are now shipping! There is something wrong with that page and I can't get in to correct it. My Madeline..notice how I say my..lol.., is in the middle of a move and won't have internet access till tomorrow. Once she gets the chance she will get it all straightened out. So that was my little stamp update.

"Scraptastic Designs Update!"

I am sure you have all heard me rave over my super sweet friend Cindy's digital stamps..between my blog, facebook, and twitter I think I just may have promoted her blog more than mine..lol! Well that is what friends are all about, right, and I believe in her talent. In case you have not heard, Cindy has decided to take a break from her weekly Scraptastic Challenges, and from the Whimsical Designs team. It is only temporary while she takes some time to draw up some more of her fabulous digital stamps. Not too worry I won't let her stay away long..I will be there once again twisting her arm, just like I did when she needed a nudge to start up her own shop:) The Whimsical Design team will miss her talent and inspiration but we also understand that she needs to do what is going to make her happy and work for her. 

Now for my card. This funny snowman has been waiting since Friday to make his debut, I was worried he was going to start throwing snowballs at me....

He is suppose to be juggling his snowball friends around. See those little snowflakes on the snow balls- Cindy drew those and the other little accent stamps that you see on my stamps sets.  The snowman is from the Doodle Charms Cart. I used Peachy Keen Stamps- Happy Lashes Assortment for his face. I used some Stampin' Up chalk to make his stick arms brown, and did some inking around the edges of him. I am going to be adding this into the Peachy Keen Challenge and the requirement was fabric. So I made his scarf out of felt. I did not have any blue felt so I used Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks to die it. *Disclamer* this stuff stains your fingers, and if you are going to die anything like this with his inks, be sure to sandwich your item between two paper towels, and apply pressure. You will be surprised how much ink comes out, even though you think it is dry. I failed to do this and it wound up dying my little snowman blue..so I need to start over!  I added lots of glitter to the snowballs, and the bottom of the layer that snowman is on..it is suppose to look like he is standing in snow. The little pearls around the edge of the card, which is from Once Upon A Princess, were done with my viva decor pen. To finish it off I added a little bow, and the "All My Friends Are Flakes" sentiment from my Snow Much Fun Stamp Set. You can purchase all of my stamps at my Shop.

Don't forget we have two active Whimsical Challenges for you to still enter "Christmas Tags", that will remain open until December 31, and "Winter Fun" closes in two days.  

Before I go I want to thank you all for the sweet compliments on my stamps, and those of who have purchased them. I am so glad you all like the sentiments and the font. When I designed the stamps it was very important to me that you all had a variety of fun font to chose from, in addition to being able to fit them into punches, and dies you already own. Save money where you can right?

Thanks for stopping by today:) On Wednesday the fabulous Whimsical Designers will be right here sharing another brand new challenge with you all.
