Hello everyone and welcome to a new
I spy with my little eye challenge, the first one of the New
Year taking place right here on my blog. Pauline and I are back with a
new theme and we hope you will join us! As most of you know, we took a little
break from hosting the challenge during December and instead I decided to hold
the yearly "Year in Review" in its place. Many thanks to those of you who also
shared their own year in review, I'm always curious to see what your favorites
were and enjoyed visiting your blogs! Speaking of favorites, our Top Two from the last challenge (the one that
started way back at the end of November) are listed at the end of the post,
both invited to join us in the next challenge, so be sure to scroll down.
This time it was Pauline's turn to selecte a theme and it is:
I spy with my little eye............
New Beginnings.
How about New Year, New Home, New Baby, New stash, New Techniques, a New Season…. There are lots of possibilities and you have plenty of time to join us! Maybe this challenge will help you along if you have a lack of mojo like some of us seem to have in this new year.
My card (Ellie)
(All details are right below the card.)
A couple of months ago I purchased a box full of mixed stamps, I couldn't
really tell what was all in the box but I did noticed a few Penny Black stamps
and the price was right. While several of the stamps were donated I did keep
quite a few of them too and this one by Art Impressions was one of them. My
stamp is wood mounted but I found the unmounted cling version on
Etsy. And apparantly there is a whole
line of stamps by Art Impressions called "
Windows to the World" that are just like this one and there is a
shadow box window die to go with these stamps... maybe something I need?? Probably not...
I thought it would work well for a new couple and their new home. It's really those swans that make me love this stamp and the whole scene is just charming. I used
Faber Castell Polychromos pencils for coloring and added a touch of glitter to the flower centers. The kraft script paper came from a prize I won from DL.Art challenge some time ago, sentiment I think is by Whimsy Stamps, but a real oldie.
I plan to share the above card here:
Such beautiful elements and gorgeous colors! Please visit

Gorgeous new home card Ellie - that is indeed a charming scene stamp and so beautifully coloured. I do agree it would also look fab through a “window” ☺️xx
Both those baby cards are SO cute! I be you had lots of fun digging through that box and discovering what you had bought.
