God Bless America!! ♥

 
Good Morning!

I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart

for the prayers and well wishes for my husband ♥ 

The bumpy road of unknowns is easier to travel with

good friends and prayer warriors! 

Today is bittersweet, my last post with Whimsy and Stars Studios Stamps
as the Spring DT term has come to an end ....
I've had a wonderful time getting inky with Whimsy
and hope you've enjoyed all the DT creations the past few months :)

Today is our monthly blog hop and our theme this month is:
Celebrate summer with your Favorite Whimsy and Stars Studios image.
Summer just wouldn't be Summer without the 4th of July
celebrations ~ from the beaches to parks to grilling and fireworks!
I chose to work with this adorable image:  God Bless America ♥

Here is my card:

Please be sure to stop by the blog and see what
the rest of the DT has created for you this Summer!

And if you like this image or would like to see more,
you can find them all here in the Whimsy shop!

As Always,
Big Hugs, Bigger Blessings!

Summertime = Watermelon!

Hi friends! 

SCHOOL IS OUT FOR MY 4

and it's officially Summer!!  ♥

I love that 'the babies' (as I dub them) are home with me

during the Summer - laid back, carefree and lazy! :}

 

Well ... Monday officially starts our treasured VBS for a week

 and then 3 weeks of theater camp so a little break at least :)

When I think of Summer, one of the first things that comes

to mind is fresh watermelon - the kids and I are always

running around with a wedge or two.

 

It's my day to post on the Whimsy and Stars Studio's blog - YAY!

I chose this darling Watermelon Boy image to showcase

because he is just so sweet and represents the start

of summertime joy ♥

You can find him here in the shop :)

And the inside ♥

Now you may notice something a bit different about this card

from my regular cards - it's sideways!

I next to never make a East to West card, always North to South!

I accidentally put the paper sideways when assembling the card

absolutely meant to put the paper on the card this way *grin!*

So this is a bit of a rare treat for me!

 

Be sure to head on over to the blog for more summertime

inspiration all week long and if there is an image that

catches your eye, scoop it up! 
There is plenty to chose from and you get instant

downloading after your purchase - easy peasy!

 

 

And if you aren't a fan on Facebook, please do consider

joining us as we'd love for you to see all the inspirations

and upcoming goodies, too!

 

 

As Always,

Big Hugs, Bigger Blessings!

Hi Friends!  I hope your weekend is off to a good start!

It's my turn to post on the Whimsy and Stars Studios blog today :)

 

And you all know how much I LOVE my Starbucks!

Oh me oh my, I would live there if I could go barefoot - LOL!

Alas, I can just buy and enjoy and create coffee cards

(among my favorites!)

 

Like this one!

I used the adorable image Coffee Girl

and paired her up with some vivid papers for extra pizzazz.

This is about the size of a cup I need daily, too :)

 

Here is the front of the card:

 

 

 

And the inside, which you could easily tuck in a coffee card for those

end of the year teacher gifts, Sunday school, etc! ♥

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

On my way to a pool party in this delicious Miami weather ~

Rejoice! 

 Today is a wonderful day and the new MAY digi stamp release

at Whimsy and Stars Studio stamp blog ...

introducing the new digi, Rejoice!

I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this image!!

 

I was inspired by my daughter to create my card,

both a bit whimsical and colorful and shouting rejoice in gratitude!

She loves bright, vivid colors as much as I do and channeled that

into my card design as well as added sequins for glitter and bling!

 

 

 

                     In the words of Mabelle, artist and owner of WSSS,

this cute little teddy is called "Rejoice"! 

This sweet teddy is reminding us to never loose hope or faith...

to embrace the beautiful things in life.  It's perfect for any occasion and celebration. I hope you like him.

Would you like the chance to win Rejoice or another image?

TWO random winners will WIN ONE DIGI STAMP design of their choice.

To participate, make sure to leave a comment on our

Whimsy and Stars Studio stamp blog.

Winner will be announced on on Monday, May 26th!

Please stop by and see what the DT have created with Rejoice!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Spring Garden Joy! ♥

 

Hi, friends!

Today is my day to post a DT card on the
 Whimsy and Stars Studio Blog and for today's card,

I chose this darling Spring Garden Joy ♥ 

 Isn't she sweet?!

Hopefully most of you have Spring temps and beautiful flowers

 blooming by now :)

 

For today's card, I went with a bright, vivid paper choice to balance

so much of the white of the image.

The image is cropped a little bit to fit into the frame-lit that I've used ~

you can see the entire image here!

 

 

And .... one of the best parts of the Whimsy and Star Studios digis is

they are an instant download!

 

Blessings to you this wonderful Easter weekend!

 

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings ♥

Spring Garden Chickie ♥

Good Morning, friends!

I hope your weekend was wonderful :)

 

Today is my day to post on the

Whimsy and Stars Studios Stamp inspiration blog ~ yay!

I am using the adorable digi Spring Garden Chickie ..
here she is up close:

 

I colored chickie with prismacolor markers and nestled into

a card base of papers in my 'please use me!' pile :)
I kept the embellishments to a minimum on this card
to let the image be the focal point.

 

Whimsy and Stars now has instant downloads from the shop ~

No waiting, instant crafting!
We also offer certain stamps in rubber form as well
so you have the best of both worlds to get inky and color.

You can see Spring Garden Chickie and so many more

images here in the shop.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
