Hello friends! I hope you are making time to craft. I had not been feeling well; so I was crafting less. Now that I am crafting more; I feel better. It is relaxing for me to color and to create. I hope it works that way for you as well. I feel that I am in better health when I take time to create.
I am super excited because I finally had enough courage to color and create an outdoor scene with my Whimsy Rubber Stamp - "Garden Chair". It was totally out of my comfort zone. As most of you know; I normally create with digis; as it is easier for my eyes, due to sizing as my main issue. I didn't have a problem with this one at all. I also normally create with girls/ladies/animals.
I ordered two outdoor scenes with Whimsy; and was afraid I wouldn't know how to color them. This is the first one. I know it isn't perfect; but I had so much fun creating with this one. My husband was happy to see my creation with scenery; rather than women, girls and animals. LOL!
One of my goals is to start using my Whimsy Rubber stamp collection that I own; over 100 of them and haven't used most of them. Isn't that sad?
