Whimsy Release Day 7 and a Goodbye

Good evening today I am on my very last day as a Guest Designer for Whimsy and day 7 of the Release, I want to say thank you to all the Whimsy team for having me for so long, today I am sharing Crissy Armstrong's First Flight... 

I have coloured my gorgeous stamp with a mix of markers, sorry I didn't list the colours, the papers are  MME Rosy and I have slightly distressed the edges with chalk inks, I have added some Die-namics Hearts and the sentiment is from the Key To My Heart set...



I have added some stardust and some small flat Pearls, I have kept it really simple so you can see the gorgeous image...


Thank you so much for looking today, be sure to stop by the Whimsy Blog HERE to check out the rest of the teams gorgeous creations...





*****************************************



This will be the last post on my personal blog for a few days as I am taking some time out to be with my family, I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to you all for following me and encouraging me with your comments, we have had a really bad year and I know without crafting and kind words I just wouldn't have gotten through it, when I had the big water leak with sewer water covering my craft room and I had to throw away all my crafting stuff, I had boxes of markers, stamps and papers sent from all over the world, even people I did not know personally sent my crafting things to get me up and running again, I always say that crafter's have the kindest of hearts, I can never thank you all enough...

I wish you all a Happy Christmas and I hope that what ever you are doing or where ever you are you find some peace and happiness in your life's  God Bless you all, big huggles love Pops x x x
