The Eiffel Tower with RAM Stamps

In the fall of 2024 my husband and I took a wonderful trip to celebrate our 30th Anniversary to Europe, and one of our stops was Paris.  One of our first nights there we wanted to see the Eiffel Tower lit up, so we took the subway to the area, and walked in the pouring rain to the site.  It was truly magical when the lights came on!  So, when I saw this adorable image from Rachelle Anne Miller called Paris, and it depicted the tower when it was raining, I knew I had to create with it!  

I coloured up the image with Copics, adding in some extra iron work into the tower with a multiliner, and coloured it up as if the lights had just come on.  To keep with the travel theme, I added in some coordinating postal stamps I had in my stash, and stamped the background with a map stamp.  It gives that perfect world traveller style I was going for.  I also coloured in the rain drops with a white Sharpie to define them.  

Here is a picture of us in Paris that night in the rain with the glow of the lights.  Isn’t it magical!?  It was such a delight!  We also went to see it in the day, in the sunshine, and took the elevator to the top (combining that with the stairs part of the way down).  It is so much more magestic and enormous than I ever imagined.  

Isn’t she the cutest? I brought back some wonderful memories too!

The Red Plane with RAM Stamps

 

I have distinct and nostalgic memories of being a little girl, laying on the grass in my backyard, or even at the school playground and looking at the sky and clouds.  Often I’d hear the buzz of a airplane, and see a red prop plane fly over.  For some reason, its a lasting childhood memory that makes me feel sweetly safe.  I’ve come to learn that it is a surveying plane, taking daily runs over our city to monitor the oil pipelines making sure everything is running properly.  

So its with a sweet nod to that childhood memory that I took this adorable little image from Rachelle Anne Miller called Little Pilot and coloured it up with Copics and coloured pencils.  It definitely has a very Canadian feel in the layout too!  

I used a cloud background die to add some texture, as well as some die cut and wood veneer stars to tie the themes together.  The white rivets are added with a white Sharpie pen.  The sentiment is from Concord & 9th and is layered on vellum.  

Created for one of our favourite 3-year old’s birthday!

Oh Happy Day with RAM Stamps

 

Hello!  How about a cuteness overload?  I’ve got this adorable little Balloon Girl from RAM Stamps today, and she’s just darling!  She has the cutest little dress, which is where the inspiration came from to create the feeling of eyelet for the background.  

I took strips of cardstock in white, Tidepool and Juniper (from Concord & 9th), and pulled out some of my older Spellbinders Dies to create eyelet sections, then I ink blended in varying layers to give the feeling of ombre and distressed colour.  

She’s coloured up with Copics, and I gave her a cute little scalloped frame.  

The die cut sentiment is from Concord & 9th, and I inked a few wood veneer stars with white ink to accent.  I think she’s really sweet!

Little Lamb Cuddle with RAM

 Hello!  It’s been a busy couple of weeks, and a cortisone shot in the shoulder which has prevented me from being as creative as I’d like.  But I’m back today with the cutest little lamb cuddle from Rachelle Anne Miller Stamps!  This one is called Lamb Cuddle, and my link my referral code at no cost to you.  I thought this adorable little girl snuggled up with her sheep was the perfect Spring image.  

She’s coloured up with Copics, and I’ve paired her with pretty plaid digital paper from RAM called Love Bugs.  I can’t wait for things to be growing in the garden again!  I added some fun pennant accents, typewriter style sentiment and a few enamel dots.  And when is the last time you used ribbon?  It’s been ages for me, but the touches of lace seemed just right. 

A great design to cheer up a friend!  Thanks for joining me today!

Snow Bunnies with RAM Stamps

 

Hello!  I hope you’re doing well on this early New Year!  I’m popping in today with some adorable snow bunnies perfect for Winter!  We were just driving today in our snow covered city and I am grateful to live in a place with four seasons.  Snow is very beautiful, and I don’t even mind the cold, as long as it doesn’t stay too cold for too long.  Today I created with RAM Stamps Christmas Sled.  It’s perfect for the season and showcases winter without being too Christmasy.  

I printed the image and coloured it with Copics in a cool Winter palette, then used some of the Snowy Christmas Digital Pattern Paper Pack with the adorable snowmen on it as one of my background layers.  I’ve also added in some snowflakes with a white gel pen and dazzled up the snowflakes in the illustration with glitter pen.  Aren’t they the sweetest looking children?  

With a few die cut snowflakes, and some glittery paper it is the cutest snow bunnies you’ve seen yet this year!  Thanks for joining me today!
