Well, it just makes sense: this month, some of the gals from WPLUS9 are focusing on STAMPS! When I contemplate the vast, and AMAZING, assortment of stamps Dawn has created and shared with the rest of the stamping WORLD... It's mind-boggling! This month, we've been asked to showcase our "favorites!" {Ha ha ha! - there is NOT enough time in the world to do THAT! At least not this week!} But I, being something of a rebel, couldn't possibly narrow it down to ONE set...
I love these stamps SO much, I could KISS them! {I really could!} So here is some proof of the fun I have with some of my MOST faves....
Okay, this one is Kerrianne's first stamp design contribution to WPLUS9.... It's from the set "Hooked On You," which is ADORABLE and... stuffed to the gills {sorry! I HAD to go there!} with darling sentiments and positively delightful images... Being a fisher-gal from long ago, this set is SO very special, and fun, to me!
So, THAT was a HOOT! I think it's safe to say that Hooked on You, is a veritable SEA of stamping possibility... My NEXT set, of complete infatuation, and never-ending delight, is one of Dawn's earliest creations, "Funky Flowers." It's funky, fresh and LOADED with sentiments and modern design components... My VERY most favorite image, is Dawn's unforgettable owl drawing... " Mr. Owly..." {sooooooo cute!} , a timeless character, that I have used again, and again! For this card, I added a bit of brown flocking, and then paper-pieced his extra huge, owly eyes to emphasize his unforgettable gaze....
In case you missed it, I'm still having my love affair with Earth Love from Cosmo Cricket.... I found SO many of Dawn's stamps to meet my needs when celebrating this spectacular collection of color and images.... Words from Kisses and Cuddles stamp set, helped me complete this baby card with just the PERFECT sentiment! The ENDLESS ways to combine words, and sentiments in this set, just slay my graphically-challenged mind. How Dawn gets fonts to obey her every wish and command {?} AMAZES me...! They make my job FUN & EASY! I hope you'll take a gander at this set, even if you don't have a huge need for a "baby" set... It's a KEEPER!
Finally, one more dabble at lovin' Mr. Owly, and my obsession with Earth Love. Dawn's stamps + Cosmo Cricket = WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE!?!
In addition to my favorite little friend from Funky Flowers, I used the wood grain from Woodgrain Silhouettes to make that lil' tree trunk as a foundation for my cute, wide-eyed friend. I stamped one of the leaf stamps from Funky Flowers, direct to the sky designer paper, to make my own leaves for this tree trunk {that was a lil' thrill...! Remember, my middle name is DANGER!} ...AND, I dumped some WAY old tackle with that terrific leaf ribbon and fantastic striped ribbon... Mmmmmm, hmmmm.... dumpin' tackle makes a girl feel GOOD!
Ya know what else makes a girl feel good? Recommending to my bloggy friends, some terrific stamps and HIGHLY talented inspiration sources... To be EVEN MORE SPECIFIC..., check out what Dawn, Savitri, Jinny and Kerrianne have done to demonstrate the super fun value of our latest All Eyes On inspiration.... It's a GOOD time, babies! I hope you'll enjoy the show!!!!
