Fun Phrase Friday - Friends

Today's Fun Phrase Friday was inspired by my brother's girlfriend.  I think she was the first person I had ever heard call her friends "her peeps" and I thought that was so cute!  So, of course when I found this great phrase on friends, I had to coordinate with some hip "peeps" paper from Basic Grey's Lime Rickey collection!  I know my true friends do know the words to the song in my heart and I love you all for that!

Fun Phrase Friday - it's gone to the DOGS

Being a dog person, this sentiment stamp just cracked me up!  Dogs are perculiar about who they like and who they don't, I know mine is.  I just LOVE this Hero Arts doggie stamp...he was stamped with black stazon on caramel colored patterned paper and then colored in with an aqua painter and some chocolate chip ink for more dimension.  =)  I handcut the circles for the sentiment just because...I really like the "freestyle" look that you can get with a simple pair of scissors...give it a try!  Good thing we don't meet people the way dogs do...you know what I mean!

Happy Everything Diorama

This evening, I had a little peace and quiet in my office after the kids went to bed and while Stacy was watching tv.  I chose to create this charming little diorama.  I had to put this new Hero Arts stamp set (Happy Day Animals) to good use.  This is seriously adorable!  I've made dioramas in the past, but this one by far is so easy and just a joy to create.  I will be posting step by step directions on this style, so you can create a diorama for yourself!  I'd love to see pictures of what you create too, please share =)
