Another stamp design company that I have absolutely fallen in love with is  The Greeting Farm . This stamped image is called "Cupcake Anya." I love how super cute their "Anya" and "Ian" series is. They are also very fun to color. You can get away with using a bright scheme and they always look so adorable. Since I am a beginner at learning how to color and shade skin and hair, having wider spaces to work with help me get my lines down these stamps are great for that as well. Whenever I get a new stamp, I rush home and can hardly contain myself to open the box then I immediately (or as soon as possible) go into my sanctuary that is my craft room and stamp my image and color it. I have days when all I want to do is color, so I stamp multiple images and then I color my heart out while watching my favorite TV show or movie. I had this stamp colored for days before I found time to mount it on a card. I love combining different styles, so I thought using my Cu

It was not uncommon for her to host a craft night every Friday with her sister and niece, me and my mom, and several other girls. We would stamp and just have a blast, it was there that I found out how much I LOVED making cards. Sadly, both my family and theirs ended up moving, but somehow I inherited a TON of Rene's stamps. Those stamps were one of the greatest gifts I've ever received, and I still use many of them to this day. Flash forward to now, and I still love to stamp. I have gotten into my Cricut (R) Expression 2 a lot, but I still love the cards that I stamp and color. I am now working on developing my own style and flair and I love combining my stamped images and die cuts. This card was n

I am always looking for different projects to try. I can spend a TON of time on Pinterest looking for inspiration. One of the boards I was following lead me to a tutorial for making these super cute note pad covers. I rushed down to the store to pick up some note pads immediately and then whipped out my Create a Critter cartridge for my Cricut Expression 2. I decided that I wanted something cute, and like most of my project, scripture themed. I decided to try to the bee image since I had never used it "bee-fore." After I made my cuts, I had two of these adorable bee books completed. You can find the template and tutorial I used from here : Thanks for Reading! Nikki
