AWWWW this is gorgeous! Love all about it!
Hugs, Nancy;O)

Congratulations, Nancy!!

I’ll be contacting you shortly!

OH MY GOSH!  You won’t believe how wonderful these new images are!!!  I’m so totally in love with these precious Emperor penguin chicks.  Ok, before I get too carried away, let’s get down to business.

Welcome to the October Angels Landing Blog Hop. If you missed the beginning, head over to Judi’s digi-stamps blog and follow the links. Today the Design Team is introducing two new digital image sets for October, Season’s Tweetings and Penguin Chicks.

I chose to use 2 of the adorable Penguin Chicks for my project.

It’s getting close to Christmas.  I know!  It seems like we just had it, doesn’t it?  Well, I’ve started making each of my daughters a December album each year for them to document the events in their household leading up to Christmas.  What better time than now and what better images to use than these chicks?

This is very sparkly in real life.  Here are a couple of close ups.

If you click on the photo of the chicks, you can see that their coats are all sparkly with snow (Ranger Distress stickles - Rock Candy).

To celebrate the new releases, I’m offering some Blog Candy. One lucky winner will receive free download links for his or her choice of any two image sets shown in the Digital Stamps Products section of AngelsLanding.com. To be eligible to win, leave a comment on my Blog Hop post before Sunday October 18, 2009, at 11:00 PM Eastern USA time. I’ll use random.org to pick a winner on Monday October 19. Please remember to check back again then to see whether you’ve won.

I love, love, love this Purr-fect Wishes stamp set!  And I’ve already got 2 of my Christmas cards made!  Yippee!!

I used Kazan’s Sketch #32 from 2 Sketches 4 You.  (Love that blog and love that Kazan!!)  The patterned paper is from the new Graphics 45 Christmas Past collection that I got in my Tim Holtz class at CHA.  It’s absolutely scrumptious!!  It was cut using my Bigz Top Note die.  The image and mat layers were cut using my Labels Four and Classic Oval dies from Nestabilities.  The image is colored with Copic markers and I applied Ranger Glossy Accents to the ornament.  It’s all topped off with my absolute favorite May Arts ribbon!

Ok, it’s time for the blog candy!  I’m giving away this fantastic Purr-fect Wishes stamp set~

Woo hoo!  New Kittie Kits!!  Can you believe it!!??  How exciting!  I had a blast playing around with these cool stamps.  The combination possibilities are endless!!

I used the Chicken Coop Scene #7 for yesterday’s card and the Farm Scene #8 for today’s.

Intimidated by the “scene” thing?  Don’t be!  You don’t HAVE to create a scene with these cool images but if you’d like to give it a try, check out Kittie’s watercolor landscaping tutorial on Splitcoaststampers HERE.

I didn’t try a scene for today’s card.  I just wanted to use and highlight this amazing drawing of an old wagon sitting alone in a field.

*****My original post was going to end here, but I just love these wonderful images, so I had to play a little more.  As a result I have a bonus card to show you using the sketch challenge SC225 from Splitcoaststampers.  Here’s my little Moonlit Cabin using another image from Kittie Kit Farm Scene #8:
