Capivate Self

Here's a lovely image from Digistamps4Joy called Here's my Heart.  I made this card for the current Monday Greetings Challenge at Outlawz.  Every week they have a new sponsored contest with great prizes and they challenge requires that you use a sentiment on your card.  This week's challenge is called "Have a heart please...."  Please put a heart somewhere on your card.

Question of the day:  who's your favorite stamp maker?  digi stamp maker?

for me, hmmm in rubber stamps, I love Unity, stampotique, whipper snapper, oh and I LOVE Grumplings from Taylored Expressions

in Digi stamps, eeek, too many to list, lol, Sandra Caldwell, Lizzy Love, Bloobel, Ike's Art,  East Wind, loving the new companies that I am sharing this month Enchanted School, Noctturnoc, Scribbles (oh those cute penguins!!), Paper Nest Dolls, can you tell I use a lot of digi stamps lately?

  2. Your coloring always amazes me! Favorite rubber stamp company is hard, I love them all and favorites change depending on my projects. Currently Viva Las Vegas Stamps and, of course, Wild Frog Creations Stamps are on my worktable. I really have never used digi's but I do admire some of them that I look at due to your prompting in our celebrations. I love window shopping the different companies you mention.

  5. What a beautiful card! You have mastered the art of coloring, especially skin tones. I like all stamps, but tend to have quite a bit of Hero Arts and Paper raft Studios. I’ve never used a digi stamp.

  18. Another gorgeous card Holley. Love the image, colouring and especially the sentiment. For rubber stamps it would have to be a company that is sadly no more, Sweet Pea Stamps. My favourite digital stamps are by Ching-Chou Kuik, Lemon Shortbread and Bugaboo. Take care, Kym

  19. Love this image! I have not done digi stamps yet. My favorite stamp companies are Heartfelt Creations, Our Daily Bread and SU. The old PSX were awesome. Too bad someone didn't take over their line when they quit. Their images are timeless.

  38. You colored this image just perfectly and I love the sparkly hearts and lace! I have a lot of favorite stamp companies, but some that I am crushing on right now are My Favorite Things, Darkroom Door, Lawn Fawn, Newtons Nook, and anything with a vintage design. I love both cute and artsy stamp designs and usually only use rubber or clear stamps.

  42. I love this card Holley, such a great design. I love good sentiment stamps as I don't colour much these days. I tend to look at the stamp rather than the brand. There is a company in the UK called Clearly Besotted who make amazing stamp and die sets which I love. Cathy x

  43. I would have to go with companies that have a lot of cute animals :D So MFT, Lawn fawn, Studio Katia and so on.. :) For digis it's hard to choose since I don't use them much, but I would go with Bugaboo :)
    Love the card! ♥

  46. I can't pick favorites! Lately I've used a lot of Fun Stampers Journey stamps. I get the Bloom Box and have been making up my stockpiled old boxes. Digital stamps are even harder--I love them all. One that I didn't see mention is Rick St Dennis, plus all of the above.
