Christmas Critters, Sorta

I cannot resist buying cute critter stamps, and I have to hold myself back from overloading on Holiday images, so I was sure I had piles of Christmas Critters. Turns out, I don't. Lots and lots of wintery ones, but only one or two that are clearly Christmassy. One was too small, and the other too large. In true Goldilocks fashion, I chose a winter one that is just right. The size anyway; hopefully the hostess will like it for the holiday, too. 



Perhaps they are watching Santa load his sleigh...

Barb's Fabulous Flowers

I was doing so well earlier in the year with getting my swaps in on time, that I signed up for not one, but two spots in Barb's Fabulous Flowers before my cards were finished. Here we are at the last minute and I just finished the second set. Technically set #2 was finished over the weekend, but since I was making extras for another occasion, I did not consider the entire set finished until just now. 

The first card I made, featured Tuesday Morning Sketches (#203) and was actually finished on that same Tuesday. Sadly I did not have time to scan it until this morning so I missed the entry deadline Smiley 

Can I just mention how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE Beating the Cover-a-Card stamps by Impression Obsession? I may never buy designer paper again!

Love my Elzys!

Today was my first foray back to stamping in a few weeks. What better way to come back than with a card for "My Favorite Stamp Evah" swap? I had trouble with this one only in that it was so hard to choose a stamp - I don't have one favorite. I sure do adore those Elzybells, though!

Given the chance, Princess A would spend all her time in the swing; alas there is school, and violin lessons, and homework, and practicing, and chores, and... well, you get the idea. But this little Elzy has no such constraints.

The sketch is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday (#47) with one of the elements removed, which seems to be my method lately.

Thanks for sticking with me through my 'radio silence'. I hope to be able to find more time to stamp (among other things) again.

(Almost) April Showers

Wet day here today. There is so much rain that I have forgotten just how long it has been falling. In fact some schools are closing due to flooding. I have never experienced such a thing. Since I cannot play outside, I may as well stamp!

Princess A is wondering when it is going to stop raining, though as I explained to her this morning, all this glorious rain is going to make our flowers very happy. Well, it would if the previous owners had actually planted any, but that is a different story. This little bear has about the same expression on his face as she did. You can see in the background the torrential rain that is falling for all of the lighter blue panels are embossed with raindrops. The local waters have risen so high, there are fish swimming by his feet.

Many thanks to Sweet Sketch Wednesday (#42) for the layout. And since Bugaboo Stamps was their sponsor this week, I had to use one of their images.

Here is a photo of the pond in my back yard (yes, it is supposed to be there) that is much deeper than usual. Look at the surface. Of course it started rainy more heavily as I stepped close to take the picture.

And here is the stream that runs along the side of my house (there is another one in the back). Usually it just sort of meanders its way along. Today, however, some little critter could go white water rafting and have the ride of her life!
