Flutter By Wednesday #114

Welcome back to Flutter By Wednesday for week #114! The challenge this week is:
Christmas in July

I've used one of the Ching-Chou Kuik stamps, Holly Fairy, from Sweet Pea Stamps for my card.

Please be sure to use a butterfly, faerie, or angel with your Christmas theme on your new card or project. When your card/project has been uploaded to your blog/gallery, please add a direct link to your work on the FBW blog.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Alice and Humpty Dumpty

Hey All! Hope everyone is having a great weekend, and enjoying some pleasant weather wherever you are around the world.

I recently had the pleasure of being introduced to Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs. She creates some pretty fabulous sentiment stamps in rubber, and now in digi as well. This awesome Friendship digi stamp is one of Ann's new releases for Monday (April 12, 2010) at Whimsy Stamps. You can visit her page there, and see her sets in rubber as well: HERE

The adorable Alice and Humpty Dumpty image is from the 4th sheet of Elaine Cox stamps, sold by Sweet Pea Stamps. Sweet Pea Stamps and it's owner, Lynette, are a favorite of mine. Not only do they have some of the most fabulous fantasy artists around, but you couldn't ask to purchase these stamps from a sweeter person than Lynette. I originally got hooked on the Ching-Chou Kuik Fantasy Art Collection there at Sweet Pea, and couldn't resist the adorable Gum Drop Gang. While the Gum Drop Gang are not fantasy images, they are just plain cute! Most recently they've added Elaine Cox and Lisa Victoria to their list of fabulous fantasy artists. If you haven't been collecting them, you have a lot of catching up to do! You can visit the store: HERE

Gingersnaps and Some News!

First I have to share my news…
I was asked to be one of the two December Guest Artists for Sweet Pea Stamps! Very exciting for me to be asked, and their stamps are just fabulous! One of the lines they carry, that I fell in love with as soon as I saw them, is by Ching-Chou Kuik. They’re beautiful fantasy stamps. Another line that is simply adorable is their Gum Drop Gang, and they have several others that are a lovely mix. If you haven’t seen them you should really check them out. You can find their website: HERE and their blog: HERE

Now on to my card….
