Too Bleepin' Cute!!!

I am currently in the midst of a "cute" phase and I have

just about "out-cuted" myself on this card.

Isn't this the cutest darn bee you have ever seen or what?!

Heidi, the artist and shop owner of 2Cute Rubber stamps

has the whole, "cute" thing down to a science!

Every one of her images are just so sweet and adorable.  

This is "Bumble Bee Cutie" currently only available as a

digital image, but Heidi is planning on converting most of her

designs to cling mounted rubber very soon. I'll keep you posted.

The sentiment is from Hambo Stamps.

I already own a few of her cling mounted rubber images and they 

are a nice, deep etched red rubber, like we rubber purists prefer. 

I do like the convenience of a good digital image, but with the rampant

digital image theft/sharing going on these days,

I can understand why some artists may want to switch to only carrying rubber.

Anyhoo, stop by Heidi's shop and check out

the 2Cute images!! 

I'd like to enter this card in the "Anything Goes"

challenge at Birthday Sundaes.

Hannah Lynn at Crafts and Me

A new favorite stamp/image company of mine is

Crafts and Me.

They have some awesome artists with incredible images.

This is my first Hannah Lynn image from C and M,

called, "Mystical Pond".

I am not going to say how long it took me to color

this gorgeousness, but it was one of my longer

coloring stints. Lots of details and I even referred back

to the original art on Hannah's website to make sure

I was coloring leaves and not flowers.

I have a few more of Hannah's images just

begging to be colored so keep an eye out for

more to come. I am a big fan now, and am

anxious to keep coloring while I have the mojo

flowing. 

I finally got to use one of those cool, sparkly, dangle, things from

Wild Orchid Flowers that I just had to have. I like it!

I am entering this card in the "Birthday" challenge at

the Crafts and Me challenge blog, and

for the "Anything Goes" challenge at Birthday Sundaes.
