Cherish your time with others

 I'm here with my lovely followers to show you just how simple it is to create with the collection of Gorjuss mini stamps you can get from 7 Kids College Fund store for less than $3.00!!!  So she is called "Puddle of Love"  isn't she darling?  

Outside of scoring an A2 size of Cryogen Copic paper, stamping the image with my Mini Misti and going around the outside of the edge with a cute little stamp from the Key to Love clear stamp collection from the Whimsy section of the store, all I did was color her!

Clean and Simple!  Sometimes it's about making it the way you see it, that doesn't always need flowers, ribbons and bows for me!  I could make 10 of these in a day and use them for any occasion!  Maybe I will??  lol 

INGREDIENTS:

Puddle of Love

Mini Misti

Cryogen White paper

Key to Love

MEDIUMS:

Copic Ink: E13,21,00,000,R20 and R30

BV 20,21,25 and R81,83,85.  

I think I used E21,25 and 27 for the hair

INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Be a kind person that embraces someone going through a tough time.  If you see someone who could use some cheering up, stop, chat and try to bring a smile to their face.

Welcome Little One

Hello crafty friends!  It's me Tammy Louise coloring a Whimsy image from the 7 kids college fund store.  I've also used loads of the dies available in the LDRS Creative section as well.  His name is "From Prince" and he was simply a must have!  He turned out perfect for another baby card for my consignment shop!

The paper is from the wonderful Kingdom Green & Gold papers from the Treasured Times collection made by Michele RDesign papers.
