I can finally share my last secret...I am a Featured Designer for Whipper Snapper!!

Phew......thank goodness I could finally let this one out of the bag. I was bursting to share this news as those of you who have followed me for awhile know that Whipper Snapper stamps are one of my huge faves and I am always on the hunt to find some. In fact, if you click here to go to my 2010 resolutions post I had set a goal to design for Whipper Snapper. I had even featured a Whipper Snapper card on that post - it must have brought me luck! One day I received an email from Anna Wight on facebook after she saw a Whipper Snapper card from their facebook fan gallery. She asked me to email her and after I did she sent me an email asking if I would like to work with her stamps for 2 months? Ummm...yes. I have to say I felt like my chest was going to burst with happiness! What an honour! 

I have created many cards, etc with Anna's March release including the cards you see here today. For these cards I used her Beautiful Day set. Click here to see that set and also her other release this month Think Happy Thoughts. I kept these cards sweet and simple like the sweet clean images of this set. One thing I love about this set is the 'stitched' look to these cute images. It even enticed me to sew on my card..you will have to look close to see it. I got out my sewing machine and nervously sewed my layers together. My husband came over and checked my forehead for a fever because 'apparently he hadn't seen me use the expense sewing machine he bought me 8 years ago before and was worried I was spiking a fever'. Nice tee hee. 

I also want to share that some other lucky ladies are joining me for the next 2 months featuring creations made with Anna's new releases. I have included their names below in case you want to hop to their blogs or splitcoast galleries. 

The second card I am sharing took me hours to make. I know...I know...but it's so simple. That bird went on 5 cards before I made one that gave it the clean look I wanted. I paper pieced the image and to frame it I tried to make those paper flowers everyone is doing. It's only my first attempt so I can forgive myself for how it looks tee hee. I asked my hubby what he thought of my cards and he said...wait for it..."I don't know". W.H.A.T.!!!! He explained to my shocked face that he wasn't used to seeing white on my cards. My cards are usually very busy and full of doodads. He really liked these cards but just wasn't used to seeing the white space. I explained to him that with these images I didn't want them to get lost and really wanted the image to be the focal point. I started to explain more but then realized he was pretending to listen but was really off daydreaming about UFC or something. Same thing I do when he talks to me about stuff I really don't want to hear. Bless him for pretending to listen and care- really that's all I can ask for lol! Hope you have a great day and keep checking back here for more WhipperSnapper cards over the next 2 months- woot woot!!! So please see below for the rest of the Featured Designers for the next 2 months.
