Together is a Beautiful Place to Be

Have you seen the new Winnie the Pooh digital stamps by Polka Dot Orchard? They are priced at 1/2 off right now too!! Check them out here. I wasn't sure how this would work with watercoloring since I printed it off my computer but as long as I dabbed on the watercolor, it did not smear the ink. I used my Jane Davenport watercolors here and I used a yellow copic marker to color Pooh. Since I'm only using the colors in this challenge, I didn't color many of the animals in. Just left them as is. I LOVE this image!!!

I Wish I Could Make Everything Better

I just got from a trip to Cincinnati, Ohio where I got to spend some time with my Aunt Gloria. She had fallen and was in Rehab for a few days so I surprised her with a visit.

Also, our daughter is in Athens, Greece for her 30th birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!! She flew to Florence, Italy first for 7 days and now 7 days in Greece. Getting there was a nightmare and it took her 3 WHOLE DAYS to get there instead of 18 hours like it should have. Travel is just terrible right now with all the cancelled flights/delayed flights. One good thing is she had to spend the night one night in Paris, France so I talked her into getting a hotel room and she took a train to see the Eiffel Tower. So that was a nice added addition to her trip that she was not expecting!! She flew solo but met up with 40 others in a tour group and all are aged 18-29 (she was allowed to be included since she was 29 when she booked the trip!). Looks like she's having the time of her life!!

Well, Hello There Hummingbirds

I got this hummingbird House Mouse stamp in the mail today. I saw a card last week using this image and I was on a mission to find it. I found it at an online store in Massachusetts and I got it today!! Very fast shipping and I thought her pricing was pretty good too. Here is the website - K.G. Krafts and you can find here: https://kgkrafts.mysupadupa.com/collections/rubber-stamps (I just looked at the website and I no longer see its for sale so she may be out of them).

I made this Winnie the Pooh card into an easel card and you can find the video here. Or you can find her blog here that you can just copy her measurements down without watching the video.
