A Sad Farwell to Sweet Pea Stamps



I have had the privilege and honor of being a member of Lynette’s team(s) for many years. I have got to play with some of the most unique designs that have ever been on the market. With these designs and Lynette's encouragement, I know that my coloring and creativity has blossomed. It is with a saddened heart that we must say “Farewell to Sweet Pea Stamps,” but not to Lynette McAnsh!

Lynette and I have nurtured a friendship through these years and I can proudly say that this strong relationship will last forever. I am planning on keeping it that way, Lynette. You will never see the last of me, I promise.

Very soon Lynette will receive one of my art cards. The one below is one of my favorites. (Yes, Lynette, it’s going in the mail shortly.) This card has been designed around Elain Cox’s digital image "Button Mushroom Fairy." I fell in love with this little fairy the moment I saw her.



With the closing of Sweet Pea Stamps, Lynette has given you a "35% off coupon code" off all digital images. (Rubber stamps are no longer available.) This code ends tonight, November 25, 2015, at 11:59 p.m. Don’t waste your time!!




If you have come from Kathi Rerek's blog, you are on the right track. Your next stop will be Christina Gudgeon's blog. I hope you have enjoyed the hop. Everyone that leaves a comment will be placed in a random draw for a Sweet Pea Stamps card that I have made, plus a few other goodies not related to Sweet Pea Stamps.

Thanks for stopping by and helping us bid Sweet Pea Stamps a fond farewell. I am going to miss Sweet Pea Stamps! If you are a friend of Lynette’s on Facebook you will be able to keep up with her shenanigans. Lynette has enough energy that puts us all to shame. Love you Lynette with all my heart!

AW Christmas Sprites New Coloring Book


You heard right…a new Aurora Wings Sprite coloring book!!! This one, which makes Mitzi’s second “Sprite” coloring book, is all about Christmas. This “pre-ordered” Christmas Sprites mini coloring book is half size (compared to her other coloring books on the market), slightly smaller than 5.5” x 8.5”. The sprites that found their way home in this adorable coloring book include 6 previously released digital images and 6 brand new exclusives. Yes, that’s what Mitzi said, 6 exclusives, meaning they will be in this book and never available as digital stamps. Each sprite is printed on one side and the other side is left blank. This allows you to frame your work and you will not have to sacrifice an image on the back side. To pre-order please visit Aurora Wings site by clicking here.

The 12 images included in the Christmas Sprites Mini Coloring Book include: Christmas Cactus Sprite, Christmas Tree Sprite, Poinsettia Sprite, Mistletoe Sprite, Little Santa, Holly Sprite, Christmas Wreath Sprite, Amaryllis Sprite, Candle Angel Sprite, and Candy Cane Sprite. The last 6 are the brand new ones.

I was one of the lucky ones that picked out Amaryllis Sprite, and she was a joy to color with Copics (my first choice as a go-to medium). Amaryllis Sprite will definitely be framed.




Here are a couple of coloring samples of Christmas Cactus Sprite and Holly Sprite. I had fun with these two. I always have fun coloring all the images designed by Aurora Wings. I’ve probably said that enough times that you get the idea.  ;o)
