Hello all, 

I love Penny Black's hedgehogs.  They are so adorable.  I was able to find this old retired stamp in a stamp sale this summer.  I was so excited to add this guy to my collection.  Just love these two little guys.    Below you can find a few photos of my little guy picking apples.  It was a beautiful fall day!

Hello friends,

Christmas is coming!  Christmas is Coming!!  Look at these guys hurry to get decorate the tree.  I've always been a fan of these hedgehogs!  Sadly the company discontinued this stamp.  I was lucky enough to pick one up before the stocks were depleted.  

Copics used: 

Skin: E000, E00, R11

Hair: C3, W3, C1, W1, tiny bit of W5

Belly: C1, C0

Red: R29, R24, R14, G46, G43, G40

I covered the lights with glossy accents to look more 3D

Light string: C7, C5, C3, C1

Ground: W3, W1, W0

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Happy Monday,

 Today is the last Senior Center class of 2013.  I can't believe that I have been teaching there every Monday for 2 years!  I'm so glad to have these wonderful ladies in my life.  I'm looking forward to stamping with you in 2014!

Check out this cute little Hedgehog...

Copics used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11
Grey: T5, T7, T9
Wood: E71, E74
Red: R17, R24, R29, R39
Sky: B00, 0
Ground: W3, W1
Green: G43, G36

I finished it off with Glitter.  I also used T9 to color over the Ho Ho Ho stamp.  I wanted it to be the same color as the hedgehog.  It is a subtle little detail, most will never notice.

I used multi-liner to faux stitch around the edge of the white.

I love this new set from Penny Black.  I was asked to teach a Valentine’s Day class this week.   I couldn’t resist using it.

the ink and paper is Cherry Cobbler from Stampin Up.
Enjoy,
