Riley and his Chick!

Riley has a little buddy, well actually a cute little chick to help him gather Easter Eggs!!! This cute little image will be available at Hanna Stamps on February 1st.

Image: Riley Moose-Hanna Stamps
Sentiment: Stampin Up!
Paper: Celery, Brocade Blue DCWV Glitter Stack Paper.
Accessories: White Gel Pen, Gingham ribbon, Dimensionals, Watercolour Pencils, Blender Pens all from SU!

Just Chillin'

After a long night of partying with his Buds, Riley needs to take a chance just to chill out, drink his cocoa and eat his freshly baked cupcake!!!!

Isn't this image the SWEETEST???? I can hardly wait to share all the great Riley images with you.

I like this card, because it has a masculine feel to it. The DP is from Daisy D's and was some left over scraps from a Scrapbook layout. Images were coloured with SU! Watercolor pencils and blender pens.

Buttons, wide grosgrain and a little hardware complete the look.

Hope you come back tomorrow for another peek to see what our Riley is up to next!!!!

Don't miss the Release Party in the Hanna Stamps Forum this Friday night!!!!

Big News!!!! Hanna's Riley is in DA HOUSE!!!!

I am SO excited!!! This Friday, Kristi over at Hanna Stamps is releasing RILEY MOOSE stamps! These are the cutest little creatures that I have set eyes on and guess what?? Kristi is having a HUGE party to celebrate the release of Riley, as well as HANNA's membership on Splitcoast Stampers!!

Hanna Stamps now has their own Forum over on SC. A great place to chat, post your samples and to see what Kristi and her wonderful Illustrators are coming out with next. Click HERE
to check it out!!!

Watch my BLOG all of this week for new Riley Samples!!! This card contains two images of Riley getting ready to celebrate St. Patricks Day. A little masking and I was able to create this party card quite easily. The DP is from Crate Paper, the sentiment was created by using Karen Foster Snap Stamps.

Congratulations to Kristi on the Release of her furry friends and embarking on an adventure by creating the member forum on SCS!!!!

Have a great day and don't forget to get your fingers inky!!!!

More Candy!! It's safer when packaged

I have decided in my commitment to work toward fitting into my summer close, I will create packaging for each and every piece of candy that comes through the door !! THAT way I will surely not eat any chocolate before it's time.

Since I am at risk for being late to work, I'll get right down to the nitty gritty! I made this little chocolate ensemble using the Celebrations set from Hanna stamps. I stamped the acetate with white Stayzon, letting it dry before scoring it. The lips and hearts were then stamped on labels and wrapped around those yummy Hershey Nuggets! mmmmmmm, have I ever mentioned that I LOVE chocolate (lol!) The circular tag was made by colouring and cutting out the image, layering it onto a 11/2" circle before paper piercing and mounting that circle onto the SU! Scallop Punch Die. The Heart on the Teddy Bear Card is a punch that I have, layered on to whisper white cardstock and trimmed with decorative scissors (phew, glad I didn't throw those out!!). Anyway ............gotta run.........I don't want to be writing a post about being out of work...........how in the heck would I pay for my stamps?????

Great day Stampin' Pals!!!!

I Love this set!

When I first saw the Nursery Necessities set, I really wasn't sure that it was my cup of tea. I ordered it on a whim (and because it was discounted!) and am I ever glad that I did. All images are from Stampin' Up!

This card was created for a Featured Stampers Challenge on SCS. I wanted to see if I could create a card as well, that wasn't the traditional baby colours.

I used Groovy Guava as my Card base, along with the new Ginger Blossom DP. River Rock and Ruby Red are the accent colours. I paper pieced the boat for a little interest and mounted that and the star on dimensionals to create a 3D effect!

Stay tuned over the next couple of days, I have some great scoop hot off the press for Hanna.........but if you just can't wait, check out my fellow Hanna Design Team Members blog for some sneak peeks. We also welcome three great additions to our Team. Cindy Haffner, a fellow Canadian Stamper whose work always rocks the house! Shelly Kuck who never ceases to amaze me with her delectable creations and Leann Yoho and awesome stamper from South of the Border!
