This is Crissy's Dino Day! Whimsy Release

Hi Ladies! (and gents of course).  Well it's not always what it looks like right?  This looks like a greeting card with a cutsie tootsi Dino messing up or straightening out some gorgeous red lights while balancing his hunny's favorite tree topper on his nose!  But in fact this is an ornament for someone's favorite Christmas tree!  I'll show you later down in the post.

 INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

New techniques force us to grow!

 Thank you for visiting,

Happy Fall Yall!

I was sorting some stamping items and trying to clear some room and ran across one of my ALL TIME favorite stamp collections!  I havn't used these stamps in at least 5 years!  I just had to use them again and show off how some of the oldies are really still goodies!

Also, to be fair, I saw this design on Stamp TV with Gina K and I feel it's only fair that I give credit where it is due.  Sometimes I get all wrapped up in "how many more flowers or embellie's does this need"  When in reality, sometimes the simple ones bring just as much joy!  

I had a hoot making this easier design and may try it more often, used to be the only type I made!  Enjoy it with me, won't you?
