Flowers at the side of the road...





That's how Karen at Sugar Nellie put it anyway.
Because, yep, you gotta take the bumps with the flowers. And luckily I do have a very lovely "garden". :)

What the heck am I talking about, you say?
Well my new Sugar Nellie Stamps, of course.
Karen is having a blog hop today in honor of the release, and wait until you see all of the wonderful things these talented girls have created! You can start the hop here.

There are 8 images in this first release. You can see/purchase the rest of them at Funky Kits. I'll also be adding a link in my sidebar so you can pop on by there anytime.

Thanks so much to the girls at Sugar Nellie and all of the stampers who made my images look so good!

  1. I didn't read the post before this one until now. I am sending loving thoughts and hugs. I have every confidence that you and Mike will work together to find a great solution to this "bump." I wish there was something tangible I could do. If there is, please call on me!

    Now on to some happy news! Your stamps!!!!!!! I love them! I just went to the site to see them all....wow!!!! and this is a first release? that means there will be more too??? I am going to do a bit of housecleaning (took the day off for that purpose) and then as my reward I am going to go on the blog hop. Can't wait to see what people have done with your stamps!!! Then with next month's allowance...I will have some Diane Duda stamps too!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you! May the success keep rolling along!!!!

    Oh, you know that image of the girl floating on her air mattress in the pool???? Did you ever think of making that one into a stamp? I love her!

  4. These are the cutest things I've ever seen.
    I'll be going on the hop today, for sure.
    *I remember how hard it is when hubby loses a job...when we were young and before retirement, it happened to us ...several times. It is never easy and always scary but God ALWAYS comes thru for you. Just hang in there with your fabulous attitude and all will smooth out.
    hugs, bj

  5. O what are they great. They really look lovely just like your paintings. I think a lot of people will enjoy them and your girls will travel all over the world to make people happy with some nice cards.

  9. Thank you so much, I was one of the lucky Sugar Nellie blog hop girls who got to work on your images before they were released and have to say I loved working with the one I received, so much so I've been back and got the others too.
    Your work is fantastic and am looking forward to seeing the future releases you bring to Sugar Nellie.
