Today's the day!! My favorite time of the month, when new Whipper Snapper sets release and I get to see what the Featured Designers have been up to!
This month, we're releasing three new sets! Two of the sets have a fall theme to them: Harvest Blessings and Give Thanks. The third set is called Crazy for Chickens, and is all about chickens of course!
I have been having a GREAT time stamping with these new sets, and can't wait to show you the projects I've been working on! I'll be sharing projects throughout the week -- I have lots to share this month!
For my first card I used images from Harvest Blessings. The images are stamped in black StazOn ink and painted with re-inkers and a water brush. The pumpkin is popped up on foam adhesive for some dimension.
So often scarecrows are "male". I wanted a girly scarecrow, so I chose to put her in a skirt, and added a flower to her hat. *grin*
Harvest Blessings features a she-scarecrow, a fat black bird, a pumpkin, a pie, apple harvest, and various other autumn themed images. (Click on the image to see the set larger.)
Give Thanks features a large tree, several sentiments and several accessories the tree. (Click on

I'm pretty sure Crazy for Chickens is my favorite set for this month! (Are you surprised!?) The set includes several hens, chicks, hay, eggs, and even some extra images for adding details to your projects. (Click on the image to see the set larger.)
I think I am crazy for chickens...
Not only are there new sets to introduce you to, but we are delighted to have FIVE new Whipper Snapper Featured Designers working with us for the months of September and October as well! Be sure to check out the work of these Featured Designers!
