I have FOUR, count them 1, 2, 3, 4, unmounted sets releasing on Monday with Whipper Snapper Designs. Wahoooo!! Talk about FUN!
And lucky for you, I can't stand keeping so many things "hush hush"! I have to share SOMETHING, or I swear I'll pop! So, I've decided to share a SNEAKY PEEKY! Actually, you're getting a sneak peek at TWO of the sets -- how fun is that!
But don't tell anyone... it's just between you and me. REALLY!!
Jolly Santa is stamped on kraft cardstock and colored with Prismacolor pencils using paper stumps and Gamsol to blend. I used Ranger's white gel pen to really add lots of POP to the white areas. I added some distress inks in various shades of brown to warm things up a bit, and of course added some textures. LOVE that little swiss dot embossing folder!
I can't WAIT until Monday when we can start seeing what the Featured Designers have been up to with the sets! Stay tuned!!
Gee, I don't stop in for a couple of days and look at what I miss. Congrats on the new sets! They're all adorable!

Congratulations Anna!!! I was on Whipper Snapper a couple days ago window shopping and saw the names of your four new sets. I have picked out the ones I want just based on the titles. :o)
I did get my hot cocoa snow man. :oD
Take care and STAY POSITIVE!!

Your little Santa couldn't be one bit cuter! How can you stand all the excitement, with your birthday and four new sets coming out and who knows what else you have going on?! You're making it terribly difficult for me to restrain myself from buying every new stamp or cling set you create (such a nice problem to have)! Thanks for the sneaky peeky! Can't wait to see all FOUR sets!
Posted by: Shellie Daniel | October 08, 2008 at 08:41 PM
