mistletoe...

here is the set of atcs i made for joanne's other swap, with the theme being "little girl".  i just adore this cute girl from the pure innocence collection by heather ellis.  she's so sweet!  and i love almost any snowman.  so the two together is a bonus!

happy fall...

ahhh...fall is in the air.  the mornings and evenings are getting cooler.  the sun is rising later.  i love fall.  if i could only have two seasons, i'd take spring and fall.  summer, eh.  winter...forget it!  so for now i'll enjoy the not so hot days and the smell of fall.  this is another 'reject' that i made.  i {love} how it turned out.  i actually paper pieced the pumpkin and dress.  played with another digi stamp, too.  good times!

a few cards...

i've been quite the productive girl today. i did some homework, got some laundry done, finished up an atc swap and made a few sets of cards. i needed some cards that could be either thank yous, just becauses or cheer ups. i think these two can fit into any category. i love the flopsey bunny. his ears just make me smile. and if you haven't noticed, i can't get enough of the little girl from heather ellis. it's another digi stamp.

don't faint! i actually made some cards today! i just love this digistamp from heather ellis and i made some atcs a few weeks ago that i thought were cute. so it inspired me to make some cards! the sentiment inside says "friends come in all shapes and sizes"

guess what?

this is an atc i made with traditional rubber stamps and digi stamps. i think the buzzword is "hybrid stamping". whatever it is, i like both versions. the digi stamp is by heather ellis, who also designs for one of my favorite stamp companies, my favorite things. this stamp is from her 'pure innocence' set. i made these atcs for my "a little birdie told me..." then i realized there is only a tiny bird on it, but it fits so well!!
