Whimsy and Stars Studio Design Team Blog Hop

Hello, and welcome to the Design Team Summer Season Event at Whimsy and Stars Studio!!  I am super pleased to announce that I have been chosen to join the team with some of the most super talented gals!  As you can see, creating with Mabelle's darling images just brings out the "artist" in all of us!  When I am creating with Mabelle's images, I feel the love that she has put into each and everyone of them, and I want to carry out the love by creating something that will be a keepsake for the recipient.

 Now for the introductions!  On the right handside of the screen, I would like to introduce to you, sweet little Amelia. Amelia has been handcut and colored with Copics and is wearing a paper pieced smock from Graphic 45.  Did you spot the glass bead center of her Sunflower?  The DP's used are from Graphic 45, flourish diecut from MFT, diecut center panel from Spellbinders, scalloped diecut and stamped sentiment from PTI.


Next, I would like to introduce to you our precious Little Princess Girl.  Once again, I have handcut and colored her with Copics, added a little glass glitter for her crown, some rhinestone adhesives in her bouquet and paper pieced her smock.  DP's from Imaginisce, paper doily, seam binding ribbon, a vintage rhinestone button, chipboard heart and handstamped sentiment all have been added.


I have included the watermarked image for reference and because I feel it's always fun to see the before and after! :)

Here's a list of all the DT member's - please stop by for some beautiful inspiration, and leave them some love!  Mabelle will be choosing two winner's for a digital image of their choice! :)

Thanks for stopping by - have fun on the hop and don't forget to visit Whimsy and Stars Studio at Etsy where you can purchase these darling images and many others!  Whimsy and Stars Studio is now set up for instant download - no waiting!  Have a great day! :)

You're so sweet - FMS90

Good Morning and Happy Saturday!  I hope where ever you are, you are enjoying better weather than we are in Chicago - cool and rainy. :( Where is summer?

This card was created based off of this week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I just picked up this darling little image from The Doodle Garden and thought it would be the perfect fit!

DP's are from LYB and sentiment stamp from PTI.

Thanks for taking a peek - off to post my card.  Enjoy your day - Cathy xxx :)

Happy Birthday - STB19

Happy Thursday and welcome to another fun sketch at Seize The Birthday!  I'm back from Pennsylvania where my DD and her new husband have settled, and I am trying to get used to the fact that she is no longer living at home! :(

This week our sponsor is A Day for Daisies, and I chose this sweet little image called Miss Clair Clown.

DP's are from my stash (The Paper Loft), baker's twine from The Twinery and stamp from PTI.

Thanks for taking a peek - be sure to stop the other team member's blog for some inspiration!  Have a great weekend - Cathy xxx :)

happy day - FMS88

TGIF!  I was able to slip one card in yesterday after my DD and I spent the day running last minute errands and having our mani/pedi's and then having lunch together.  After that we came home and we packed up her car with what wedding items were still here and off she went to her fiances' hometown.  We will join them all this afternoon when we check in, and then rehearsal will be later in the day. I can't believe her wedding day has finally arrived!  Bittersweet! :)

This card was created based off of this week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I switched it up a bit to fit my image! ;)

DP's are scraps that I have been hoarding, stamps from TSG (Poppy), misc. ribbon and rhinestone adhesives.

Thanks for taking a peek - off to post my card!  Enjoy your weekend! Cathy xxx :)

Wish big - STB18

Happy Thursday and welcome back to another fun challenge at Seize The Birthday!  We are so lucky to have Neat & Tangled as our sponsor this week! If you
haven't had the chance to check out their shop, please do -  there are so many fun stamps to play with! :)

Here is our fun sketch to work with this week!  As you can see from the wonderful inspiration our design team has provided you with, there are so many fun possibilities!  So let you creative juices flow and give it a go! :)


DP's from Echo Park, cardstock, diecuts and stamps from PTI, baker's twine from The Twinery and misc. sequins.

I apologize for not being able to visit your blogs and comment this week.  As you are reading this, I am on my way out-of-town to my daughter's wedding that will take place on Saturday, and then leaving with them on Monday for Pennsylvania to help them get settled.  My future SIL was accepted to Penn State's Residency Program in Plastic/Reconstructive Surgery.  So as you can see, I am going to be quite busy for the next couple of weeks, but I will certainly be here in spirit! :)

Thanks for taking a peek - have a great week!  Cathy xxx :)

Birthday wishes - TMS199

Happy Saturday - I hope your day is going well!  We are on a countdown here......one week from today and my daughter will be a Mrs! :)  We have alot planned for today - lots of running around, but I wanted to get atleast one card in for the day, and who knows - it maybe for the weekend!

This card was created based off of this week's sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  I thought this sketch was perfect for this darling image from Whimsy and Stars Studio.  My friend Lesley told me about a DT Call that they were having, and when I saw the images....I just have to have a few! Thanks Lesley! :)

DP's from Basic Grey (KneeHighs), cardstock, button, twine and sentiment stamp from PTI, digital image from Whimsy and Stars Studio and misc. rhinestone adhesives.

Have a Kickin' Birthday - FMS86 and DD53

Good Morning and Happy Sunday!  Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!  It would be hard not to do so here - the weather has been absolutely incredible!  No big plans for the day - just a barbeque for dinner tonight! :)

This card was created based off of this week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and color challenge at Dynamic Duo's.
I have a little nephew who recently started Karate and absolutely loves it!  I can see how much this sport has really helped his self-esteem and discipline - amazing!
