Let's party 'til the cows come home!

This little cutie is from the Elzybells line of stamps. Who likes to party more than ewe? *groan* The image was embossed and the little sheep were flocked to give them a warm, fuzzy feeling. If you've never embossed before, give it a try. You will need embossing powder and a heat gun to melt and set the emossing powder. And no, all those stories you hear about using a blowdryer won't work as we've tried it. lol It's best to just invest in a heat gun that you can get at your local craft store. Flocking is also fun. Who doesn't like to play with glue and flock? Just don't get it all over you paws, er, hands.

Prince Charming or Just Another Frog?

Well, we'll have to wait and find out in another post whether she gets her Prince Charming or if it was just a regular 'ol frog. Not that there is anything wrong with frogs. We'd be more than happy to have a frog as our friend.

We've been having lots of fun with our Nestabilities, or Nesties for short. They work with our Cuttlebug machine so we didn't have to invest in another die cutting machine. Another new line of stamps we like are the Elzybells from the UK. Amuse is the North American distributor for them, but they only carry a limited line of their stamps. The Elzybells are so cute, they are well worth the shipping from the UK.



Not too sure on the colour combination, but it seemed to turn out okay.
