Stampin' Up! Cheerful Critters

I pulled this adorable set off my Stampin' Up! shelf yesterday and had to ink it up.   It makes me happy just to look at those critters.  I used a fun color combo of Island Indigo/Gumball Green and I am loving those together.  I know the perfect person to send this one to and I can't wait for her to get it.  :) 

Mom leaves tomorrow so I don't know how much stamping I'll be doing again for a while.  I might start coming in at night and working on some projects after Laila is in bed.  Before we moved my desk this week it was right in front of my window.  I'm a weirdo who is scared of windows, so I didn't like stamping after dark.  Now I can hide away from it and color.  :) 

I hope everyone has a nice time ringing in the new year tomorrow! 

Cheering for Sunday Stamps

This Sunday I have the honor of being a guest over at Sunday Stamps!   They have an awesome sketch challenge and I really enjoyed creating with it.   I couldn't resist using the Cheerful Critters set again.   It is seriously the most adorable set that Stampin' Up! has released in a while.  I just love it!

See?  Awesome sketch!   You can layer it up as much as you wish, or keep it fairly simple like I did.  I am totally addicted to using my stitched dies, so I find myself grabbing those instead of adding layer after layer.   

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Critters

I hadn't inked up these cute Cheerful Critters from Stampin' Up! yet, so I grabbed them and played along with Mojo Monday this week.  I think this is my new favorite sentiment.  I have several friends who I know will find it just as hilarious, so I can't wait to make and send cards to them.  I am going to try to send this one off today.  :)  

Laila has been going to bed early this week, so I've had a little time to color.   I haven't really been in the mood to make a card, but coloring with my Copics has been good therapy.  

I tried to start the day off nice today, so we woke up and make muffins together.  That was about all that's been fun so far.  :-/   I'm hoping it improves soon before everyone is in bed crying.
