Stamp Something and a Sneak Peek!!!

Hi Everyone,

It's Stamp Something time and I also have a sneak peek of the new April release from Whimsy Stamps for you!!!  New stamps come out Wednesday, April 13th and we'll be having a hop with tons of prizes!!!  But for your sneak of sentiments...There are 3 on here from Raindrop Echo's newest set at Whimsy Stamps, party mini seals!!  I just love them!  They are great to use alone or combine together!
The theme at stamp something is sassy, so I used sassy Madison avenue, if you don't have stamps with sass, that's OK you can still enter will circles!
I colored her with copics, then paper pieced her presents, then added flocking to her coat and finally gave her a little pearl earring.  Papers and ribbon are SU, flowers are from wild orchids.
Check out the Whimsy Inspiration blog for more sneak peeks and the Stamp Something blog for more sassy eye candy!

Special Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to a very special blog hop today!  The illustrators of Whimsy Stamps have come together to draw a special set of digi images for the purpose of raising money for the relief effort in Japan.  All proceeds from the sale of these images will be donated to that cause.   Kenny K, Raindrop Echo Designs, Meljens Designs, and Crissy Armstrong all contributed art work. 

For the whole month of April, you can purchase the images as a set or individually (your choice)  by visiting this page on the Whimsy store site.  Please consider helping this special cause by purchasing one or all of the digital images we are offering.  

If you have landed here from LINDA's blog, you are right on track.  If you have come here randomly and would like to start hopping from the beginning, please go to Crissy's blog.   She has the blog rotation order posted if you need to refer to it. 

The amazing ladies of two design teams have come together to host this blog hop for you!  Crissy's Crew from Sundays With Crissy and Denise's DT from Whimsy Stamps have joined forces to design some amazing jaw dropping creations for you.  You have seven days to hop through all the blogs and enjoy all the lovely creations from these talented people. 

The hop runs from now through til Sunday April 10 at noon.  There will be several opportunities to win blog candy!  Four random commenters will get a chance to receive one of the three individual images or Ann's sentiment set.  So be sure to leave comments all along the way for your chance at a free digi!  Also, if you post the "Help for Japan" button on your blog's sidebar, you can enter into the draw for the grand prize!  The grand prize will consist of the entire digital set made just for this cause as well as a gift certificate donated by Ann of Raindrop Echo Designs worth 10$ to use at the Whimsy Stamps store! To enter, you must help us advertise for this cause by posting the "Help Japan" button on your blog's side bar (just grab it from my side bar or from the top of this post) and then get your name on the Inlinkz option on Crissy's post so we can be sure to find the winner.  

Now on to my project: 

I have used Crissy's Heartfelt Angel in my project today.The papers are from the fairytale stack from DCWV.  The sentiment is from Raindrop echo, also helping out in raising funds for Japan.

Next you'll want to visit SANDRA's blog to continue hopping.  Thank you so much for stopping by, and for your support of this very worthy cause.

Sunday Sketch and Stamp

hello!!!  The SSS site was having technical difficulties, so the challenge is a bit late this week.  What a fun sketch!!!  I made a card for my brand new niece, Sophia.  The carriage is from an old SU set, buggies and booties, which is one of my all time favorites.  I then masked the carriage and stamped Life Defined from Whimsy Stamps over it.  The ribbon is the seam binding from SU which I crinkled with shimmer spritz.  The papers are from MME's girl pack.  I also added some distressed glitter to the edges and distressed them with scissors.  The flowers are from Wild Orchids.
