I was so excited to be asked to be part of a debut of a new line of stamps, but my printer will not cooperate! Waah!!
I still want to be sure all my stamping friends know of this fun new line, designed by my good friend Lorie. Not only is she a FABULOUS card maker (in fact, every Lorie card I have ever received has made it to my favorites box), but to hear she is now drawing images as well just blows me away. I have long said that I cannot even draw a stick figure - that is why I use rubber stamps.
Right about now you are probably wondering what my printer has to do with all this. Well, Lorie sent me a digital file to use for today's debut, but when you purchase, you will receive actual stamps. I have used Peachy Keen Stamps before and they are a great company. Quality materials, clean lines, washes well - what more could a stamper want?
I hope you will check out the Country Bumpkin stamps! I linked the promo bundle, but you can purchase the sets individually. I have my eye on the turkey and the goblin.
When Miss Madisyn gets over her shyness, I will come back and post her debut. Right now she is sitting in my open window enjoying the breezes and the sun and hoping she will dry soon, now that she has (finally) printed in her entirety.

Free to Be...
It is Teapot Tuesday Time again! (I have missed playing along and drat, but there have been some great parties in my absence...)
This week Mothermark has been inspired to write poetry:
Meet Brutus, the Bunny
Who's just a smidge funny!
He's totally of his rocker,
I know! It's a shocker!
His mom, bless her heart,
It's been hard from the start!
And throughout the years,
She's been driven to tears!
There! Look at that! He peed on that log!
What is his problem? He's a wannabee dog!
Be quiet! You'll hear it! The most incredible moan,
It's the pleasure he gets from his big juicy bone!
He's been known to just hollar!
It's pink! Not a dog collar!
He's a disgrace to all rabbits,
with the most annoying of habits!
He hates those orange carrots
Gives them all to the ferrets!
And when there's work to be done,
To bring children some fun....
He just sits on his keester,
Ignores all that is Easter!
Can you see? Don't you see? Why Thumper and Peter,
Are completely convinced, he's a big Easter Cheater!
Awww...Come on There Brutus!
Help us out or just shoot us!
Look at me! Look at me! I'm not a big fake!!
Look at me! Did you see? Now I can shake!!
(That's a puppy dawg shake ifn' ever I saw one!)
And here is the challenge:
"So, here's the story, Mory! Mory is Brutus' best friend. He's a ferret and the recipient of many a carrot! (At least 42,000!) He's a little reserved, a little shy, not a *in your face* kinda guy! He's not quite sure how to handle this whole identity crisis for his friend, Brutus. Part of him wants his little buddy to be a dog but part of him loves his cute widdo bunny friend! One thing is for certain, he is tired of stressing about this dilema. That's where we come in!
With only about a week before Easter, we need to either convince Brutus to be a bunny and step up to the plate and help out at Easter. Or we need to convince him to leave that life behind permanently and buy a new dog house! So, depending on your most valued opinion of this whole deal, bring a bunny, an Easter basket, pink ribbon or a carrot or two. On the other hand, bring a fire hydrant, a collar, a dog house or a dog bone or two! And if you are the wishy washy type (like me!) then bring a doggie in a bunny costume! Snort! You know the drill!"
I don't know about you, but this whole story reminds me of My Dog is a Plumber from Free to Be... You and Me (Am I dating myself? Oh, who cares? I don't have any problem admitting I was a child of the 70s):
My dog is a plumber. He must be a boy,
Although I must tell you his favorite toy
Is a little play stove with pans and with pots,
Which he really must like, 'cause he plays with it lots,
So perhaps he's a girl -- which kind of makes sense,
Since he can't throw a ball and he can't climb a fence,
But neither can dad -- and I know he's a man,
And mom is a woman and she drives a van.
Maybe the problem is in trying to tell
Just what someone is by what she does well?
Do you see the connection? I am all for letting a person (or a bunny as the case may be) be himself. For you, Brutus, here is my card...
The layout came from Sweet Sketch Wednesday. (#43); I doubt it is going to win any prizes over there though. While looking for cardstock to match my ribbon, I came upon a piece that had been folded so the opening was in the center. It occurred to me that this sketch lended itself perfectly to that!
The bottom panel is embossed with flowers in circles, cuz it was the closest thing I could find to Easter eggs, so just pretend they are oblong, ok?
The top panel is a tribute to Brutus' true self. I hope his friends and family stop giving him such a hard time. How many Easter Bunnies do we need anyway? There is only ONE Santa after all...
