So I got myself a little gift 😀
I found some new stamps from Stampavie.
They are such a Lauren company! LOL! Yeah Im talking in 3rd person, annoying I know. But they are. I love cute and whimsical stuff. The animals are fab.
I am beyond in LOVE with the Rachelle Anne Miller line. I found it on a SCS banner ad and about died and went to heaven when I saw the little owls!! I bought them, but haven’t used them yet. Then I picked up some more stamps when ATSgot them in (boy do they sell out quick) As far as the company goes, I’m not sure how its actually pronounced though! LOL! When I was talking to some stamp friends about the images I had no clue how to say it-Stampavie.
Anyway, I saw they have a new line called LeLo Designs. When I saw it, I fell in LOVE with the little dragon. He is beyond the cutest thing ever! I am attempting to expand my boy line if images, so I had to take him home 😀 It could of course be made girly as you will sort see.
First I used Party Dragon
Noah had a b-day party to attend, so I thought this little guy would be perfect!!
The sentiment “look who’s turning” is from Impress.
Obviously the child was turning 6. I used my JustRite Stampers Number set for that. I love how the number is highlighted in the glittered edge star. That is a SU! punch.
I think he’s cute flying in the sky. I had some American Crafts ribbon that had the colors I wanted. I used an epoxy sticker to cover my balloon. It made it pop and had a fun design.
I loved him in blue.
Close up
Granted my coloring is not by any means professional, but I find it so therapeutic! My copics are my most used tool, next to my scor pal, paper cutter and ATG gun 😀
Is he not adorable? Reminds me of Puff the Magic Dragon.
So I got to using that one, and used one more I picked up-
Here is Dragon Flower
I think he looks beyond awesome in red/orange/green!!
I think I should have added more flowers but when I attempted too it was a little too much. There is such a thing.
If you can’t tell, he is stamped, colored and cut out. You cannot tell but his ears and wings are popped forward, and shimmer, since I added some olive Shimmerz to them.
He’s so cute.
The sentiment is A Muse. An oldie but goodie!
I did some piercing with my Onare template, and added some primas with hero arts flower stickers in the center. This was quick cute & easy. He is certain to make someone smile!!
Well that is it today. Im crashing from my week of PTI peeks.
I have so much more to do before the holidays. I made a rockin project yesterday that will are going to LOVE! (I think) I’ll post it sometime this week. Im seriously FLIPPING for it.
The kids are feeling better, and now the running of class room duties begins. I’m getting sick :C Just worn down feeling. Not fun. Exhausted isn’t the word.
Anyway-have an enjoyable day. I’ll be back tomorrow with more to share.
I also have some requests for special snacks and ideas for assisting the many of you wanting to know more about adopting a new healthy lifestle in the new year.
My friend Erin just started the Mitch Gaylord workout that I use ( i got it for her for her b-day) and dropped several pounds and inches by her 11 day mark! She has a hard time losing weight so she is really happy with herself. Im proud of her too. She calls me regularly to check in and tell me the temptation she avoided! Its good to have a back up. Its hard for me living with a pregnant woman who wants to eat every amazing delicious thing under the sun, and wants everyone else to join her! UH-AH!! Not me!! I just slipped into the tiniest pair of dress pants for a Christmas party I have to attend this weekend. I had to keep having the woman get me a smaller sizes! Between my shirts and my pants! I was definitely doing a dance in that dressing room. No CHOCOLATE is worth feeling awful about yourself. I’ll stick with my yogurt and Soy Joy bars!!
I do have a great low cal-but scrumptious dessert to share next time too. But for now-I gotta run-
later

I have not left a comment lately the Christmas Rush and all, but I wanted to say Congrats on the Pink Cat DT spot again, and I will be totally excited for Release #8 when I get to play along with all of you as a Guest DT.
I can not wait to see all the New Release stuff from all of you guys it is an increadibly talented bunch of girls on the team, and I am honored to be a guest DT for my month!
I am sooo excited to get to see you and Lise’s work again this year!
I never would have found Pink Cat if not for you and I now use their stamps all the time.
I totally loved dressing Lily up last week as Snow White, Cinderella, and Tinker bell by just drawing her a ball gown for each character and making her hair into an Up Do!
Thank you Lauren for all your wonderful work, and for your alerting us to new companies and stamps too!!!
Love your work, and your Blog!!!

These are totally adorable, Lauren…and your coloring is wonderful as well!!
Yup! You did it again. You got me all fired up for new stamps! I love the dragon stamps and I loved the hippo one in the bath tub from that website you posted. Do you mind emailing me where I can find those stamps? I looked at the links you mentioned and they don’t have the lelo designs yet. Do you know where I can purchase them? I have three boys so I need more boy stamps to use for b-day parties.
Once again I love your work. I get all down after the papertrey stamps and designs are released. I have nothing to look forward to for another 20 days. HA!
I can’t wait to see your new templates for next month.
Let me know about the Lelo stamps when you have a minute.
If I don’t write before Christmas have a Very Merry Christmas with your family and friends. Happy New Years as well. I have a feeling 2009 is going to be a great year for you.
Blessings,
Janin Huerter

OK, let’s see Stampavie is initially a french company if I am not mistaken… “à vie” means “for life, forever”….
Pronounciation: Stamp- a (like in Anna)- vie (like in Ivy).
I’m glad you still find some time to have fun with new stamps in all the crazyness going on at your house and germs, and holidays, and pregnant sis-in-law that will have to try your work-out after the birth if she keeps this up, LOL! 😉
Hi Lauren,

Sorry, for my bad english.
