Whimsy Stamps - Whoopsie Clear Stamps for a very Happy Easter!

 Hello friends!

I hope you are all keeping well.

It's been a while but I am still here, I'm just not always right here on blogger!

I also share my creations on instagram and Facebook and you can find me simply by searching tanglemouse cards!

Today I have a card to show you which has been in my mind to colour for a while!
I had such fun colouring this and creating the story that they are two friends playing hide and seek!  I'm not sure these two sweeties have quite got the idea of the game though!

Hello friends,

I hope you are all keeping well and are ready for the imminent Christmas holiday break.  

I feel I am scraping into the festive season by the skin of my teeth!  I am just looking forward to having a rest, with my boys, and getting by!

This is my last card of 2023.  It has been a sad and difficult year but I am looking forward with optimism to 2024.

It is no secret I am a massive lover of all things Stacy Yacula by Purple Onion Designs.  I have adored and cherished the beautiful red rubber stamps for many years and have been lucky enough to appear several times as a guest designer for lovely Michele.

Picking a favourite collection is like picking my favourite child but he latest of Stacey's collections,
The Merriest Little City is I think my favourite one so far!

I can not tell you how much fun I had creating this card.
... silver bells ... silver bells ...
come on... you know you want to! (:

I want to say a massive thank you to Michele for her kindness and support with my card making!

Wishing you all a peaceful and happy time
