At The Seashore

to answer Helen's question...

the rat/mouse is 2 stamps, I just blotted the ink off his one arm, stamped and then masked him. Then stamped the drink from this little $1 set I got at Michael's (since it was clear I didn't even need to use my stampajiggy thingy).

Laundry Day

Peeping Tom!!!

For some reason I wasn't quite happy with this one and re-did it since I had all the stamps still right there in front of me (top is the re-do). But now I like the bottom one too! LOL

I am making this special post to say thank you to nise for your uplifting comments!

My version of a scene from July/August 2004 RSM pg 63, top of page (window scene was by Inky aka Nanci Ring). I did not have any of the stamps she used but I totally copied her hand-drawn window frame.

Summer Time

I felt like making a simple scene last week; I made the bottom one first with granny leaping into the
pool but I wasn't happy with how I colored the tree or sky.
So I redid it and used some other stamps.
Tree is Bugawumps, most of the rest are Eat Cake Graphics.
Copic markers and chalks. Bird cage and lil birds are Sugar Nellie stamps.
I used Cryogen White Metallic paper which has a little shimmer to it.
