I love Pinterest! Have you seen my little boards? I hope you can add me to your Pinterest.
I’m inspired by all of the gorgeous photos and ideas! Been looking at ideas for Valentine’s day projects and found this fabulous recipe….which also made me think of some of our Design Team cards….
Check this pretty cupcake…from SixSistersStuff.com
(photo from http://www.sixsistersstuff.com)
I’m so going to try this recipe! Are they the cutess thing ever?!! You can find the recipe here:

I wanted to share with you more fabulous Valentine's Day ideas from our Design Team inspired by the color palette of rich chocolate, reds, pinks and white…
Here is a great idea by Angela using a Hershey bar as a gifty!
For this project Angela used my “Lucy Valentine” Digital Stamp.
Want to try this layout? You can visit Angela’s blog and check the card recipe and measurements: http://www.angelakelley.blogspot.com/2012/01/whimsy-and-stars-lucy.html
And talking about chocolate…I saw these cards and immediately thought about chocolates and strawberries. Love it!
These cards are from Cheryl and she is featuring so many fabulous techniques using paper piecing, stitching, layering of all those gorgeous papers and fantastic coloring.
For this one she used my “Sending Love” Digital Stamp.
Check Cheryl’s blog for her card recipe: http://shestamps.blogspot.com/2012/01/iloveu.html
For this card she used “Valentine Girly” Digital Stamp. She masked off the image and covered the background with pink shimmer mist too! Beautiful card!
Visit Cheryl’s blog for her card recipe: http://shestamps.blogspot.com/2012/01/valentine-girl.html
This card is from Lis featuring “Valentine Bear” Digital Stamp.
I just love of the layers and Lis’s fantastic coloring technique using ProMarkers. Check her blog post: http://mycraftblogumentary.blogspot.com/2012/01/whimsy-and-stars-studio-guest-dt-card_15.html
This latest card from Lis features “Valentine Little Boy” Digital Stamp.
Thank you to Angela, Cheryl and Lis for these beautiful cards! I will continue posting more works from our Design Team throughout the month. They truly are an inspiring Team!
Oh!! I almost forgot..!! Check this Red Velvet cupcake from Better Homes and Gardens magazine! The recipe looks pretty easy! http://www.bhg.com/recipe/cupcakes/red-velvet-cupcakes/

All of these cards feature my latest collection of Valentine’s Digi Stamps available at my Etsy store. http://www.etsy.com/shop/WhimsyAndStarsStudio
Card design by Kathy (Design Team)
Oh my goodness! Today I received this cutie card by my sweet friend, Kathy Curry (Design Team). I love the cheery color palette, the fab coloring and all the glittery touches, totally love the orange bow too! Visit Kathy's blog for info on this card recipe willstampforwine.blogspot.com/2012/01/tuesday-morning-sketches-129.html.
She created this card using my new rubber stamp set: "Happy Birthday".
My little collection of rubber stamp sets are available at my Etsy store. I ship them directly from my studio and each set come signed by me :) Happy Mail directly to your mailbox!
The rubber stamp sets are made of high-quality, deep-etched red rubber and come already mounted on EZ-Mount Foam ready to be trimmed. You can use them with your acrylic stamp blocks. Each set comes packaged in a cello bag.
At this time I have five sets available….
I'm working on my ✿ NEW SPRING COLLECTION of Rubber Stamp Sets ✿ and soon you will be able to be part of helping me select which designs will go to the press! I'm really excited and looking forward to show you all of the new cute designs!
Stay tuned!
love,
Here is a gorgeous and fabulous idea by my dear friend, Holly Mays (Design Team). What a clever idea! She created this cute card using my “Cups of Kindness” Digital Stamp and using paper piecing as her main technique.
Holly has a fabulous blog and shared this tutorial on her blog: http://hollysangels.blogspot.com/2012/01/cup-of-kindness.html
Great tip from Holly: “The paper I used was smaller than normal copy paper size. I put a bit of tape at the bottom of the patterned paper and adhered it to white copy paper. I ran it through the printer.”
Next Step: “I put double stick tape on the back of the patterned paper and cut the cups out ~ I then attached them to my white cardstock.”
Final Step: “After paper piecing the cups ~ I colored the flowers with copic markers. Bling was added to the center of the flowers ~ LoVe me some BLiNg!”
A special THANK YOU to our DT: Holly, for her wonderful project!

Thank you for visiting my little blog :) and for all of your emails and dear comments! I just love you!!
Wish you all a great week!

A BIG THANK YOU! for all of your emails, messages and questions regarding what's next for my collection of rubber stamps (formerly available from The Angel Company).
After much prayer and time I have decided to launch my little rubber stamp designs on my own. I'm working with a wonderful manufacturing company and soon I'm planning to start selling my rubber stamps directly on my Etsy store. I must confess, all this is a bit scary but I feel the Lord's peace plus all of your love and support.
I plan to start tiny (a few sets at the time). At this time I don't have a definite launching date because I'm still in the production phase of all this. I do want to let you all know so you keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I take this new journey.
In spite of my great sadness of the loss of our beloved The Angel Company, I know God will open doors for all of us angels out there (and the Smith Family) and I trust He will show us the perfect path of each one of us.
I share this personal news with you because during these 13 years you all have been my support in my "inky fingers & stamping" life! I love you TAC Angels and all of the TAC customers and family!!
Thank you so much for always been there for me and my family.
I will keep you posted....
love

Thank you for all of your love and messages during this week after the sad news of the closing of The Angel Company. I'm proud and grateful for have been part of TAC family all of these years... not only I was an angel demonstrator but they also licensed my line of rubber stamps for 13 years! So this has been really sad for me.
I have received many questions and requests wondering of what's next for my rubber stamp designs and where can you find them now that TAC closed their doors. Many of you had my rubber stamp designs on your wish list....THank you!
I want to let you know I'm taking some time to consider all of my options. As soon as I have a definite plan I will announce it here and on my Facebook group. I'm hoping that can be really soon. I do want to continue making my designs available not only in digital form but also in rubber..I just need a bit of time.
Please join my Facebook group (a close/private group) and my blog feed so you can stay updated with the latest news. You can also bookmark my blog and my Etsy store so you can visit me often :) I love to receive all of your emails and messages, keep them coming!!
Have a wonderful week, my dear friends.
love,
I'm so sad. Today I received news of the closing of The Angel Company, after 14 wonderful years! So many precious memories! ♥ The Angel Company changed my life forever!
Thank you to my dearest friend Mischelle Smith for her friendship, vision and for giving me the opportunity to share my art via rubber stamps. It has been an honor. ♥
To all my dear angel friends and customers who throughout these years have been so supportive and have opened their homes for my designs. I’m forever grateful. ♥
love

................................................................................
My kiddos are returning to school on August 22, just around the corner! We are in the midst of school supplies shopping, new shoes, new clothes and making sure we have everything for that first week of school. Kids are excited to go back to school and see all of their friends and make new ones. I still can't believe my boy is entering middle school! And my girl is going to 10th grade! Oh Lord, can't believe it! I'm so incredibly proud of them, they are such great and good kids. Truly blessed to be their Mama.
At this time I'm working on new digis coming soon to my Etsy store and can't hardly wait to show you all of the new designs coming in the next few weeks!

I'm back from a relaxing and fun family vacation. Stayed in a cozy beach condo here in Florida and we spend our days swimming, relaxing by the sun and visiting local bookstores. We even had the chance to see the Fourth of July fireworks by the beach! I was so beautiful! Good to be home now :)
