Skippy and Bobbin

One Crazy Stamper is featuring Whimsy stamps all month on the OCS blog, so I am sharing the sweet Skippy and Bobbin stamp today!  It's about -20 outside right now, with a wicked windchill, so it was lovely to pull out some bright & summery colours today to chase away the nasty weather...

I tried something a little different with this image, I stamped it in London Fog Memento ink (a medium grey) instead of my usual black, and it made for a much softer image overall.  And since she's gazing away from us, I made the light source coming straight at her from the distance (clear as mud?)  Here's a close-up:

I've popped her up on pop dots, and added some pearls and a little twine.

One Crazy Stamper Design Team!

Well, I am very excited to be sharing my inaugural post as a Design Team member for One Crazy Stamper!  You are going to be seeing me posting on the 1st and 3rd of each month.  The first is always our monthly challenge, and each month OCS is featuring a different stamp company on the blog.  For March we are showcasing Whimsy stamps, so I am using the sweet Lomasi who is an adorable little Native Indian girl:

I've used Basic Grey's 6" x 6" Persimmon papers (a current fave!) along with some coral cardstock and kraft paper.  Feathers are very trendy right now, so I cut three patterned paper ones with my Cricut and tied them with a little twine & some beads - I thought they worked well with the theme!  Here's a close-up of Lomasi:

One Crazy Stamper is a fabulous online store full of everything you could ever want as a stamper!  Lora also has a bricks & mortar store in Bolton, Ontario if you happen to be in the neighbourhood - you'll want to stop in and say hello :o)  There is a great prize being given out for one lucky person who enters our March challenge, you can link up your project here.
