Monday greetings, friends!
How about something fun today? I'm always organizing and reorganizing my stamps... the truth is, I simply enjoy being in my room whether I'm creating or organizing or just looking out the window. In this case I was looking through my NBUS baskets and I took a notion to bag them up by company. That led to card making and and some real quality time with my Rubbernecker stamps.
These critters are from a set called Fox. I can't help but smile at them. They're colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol odorless mineral spirits. There are matching dies which I did not buy because I could see how easy they are to cut out. The frame is put together with parts from my card parts drawer. I hand drew the dotted butterfly flight trail and added the blue dots to the background with an oldie SU stamp. Everything is listed below.
I'm sharing at Darnell's NBUS Challenge #37 (never before used schtuff).
More Rubbernecker coming this week. I have lots in that bag and I just kept pulling from it. We had a good time together. Wishing you a beautiful day!

How brilliant is this, fabulous design too xx
I am the same way just love going into my craft room whatever I end up doing :) These two are just adorable, love how you have colored them, I just brought out my pencils for some Christmas cards I am working on, nice to change it up every once in awhile. I like how they are playing with the butterfly and the cute papers you have for the background to go with it, too cute and fun!
The foxes do make me smile also. So cute. Love your beautiful design. Great that you get time to spend in your happy place. Hope your Easter weekend was filled with fun and friends and family.
It's always fun to play with Rubbernecker stamps, isn't it, Leslie?! I just love your happy pair of foxes and the amazing way you have them frolicking on the card with that butterfly! Your eye for design is something I aspire to with your layers and your fine details. Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
So adorable, Leslie! You always know exactly the right things to add to your cards to make them perfect. I agree with you - it's just nice to go sit in my stamping room and look around and do more organizing. LOL!
Oh my gosh, those foxes are so darling. Loving the papers you chose as well. Very uplifting.
cute. You and me both. I love being in my art room, it's my happy place Although not much organizing goes on... BIG GRIN. Have a great day
Oh my gosh ... this is such an adorable card Leslie! LOVE those little foxes and the papers you've used with them. Fun!! xx
Your card made me smile on this miserable day we are having. I just love your little foxes with their cute smiles! Everything came together so well - love how you made the butterfly trail! Looking forward in seeing what else you have to share in your bag! Have a great week!
Oh Leslie, you are correct, you can't help but smile at the sight of these adorable little foxes, the expression on their faces makes me want to grab them and hug them!!
And the way you frame these sweet critters just adds to the whimsical feel of this awesome card.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Stay healthy and safe.
These little foxes make me smile, too, Leslie!! I love the cuteness and lighthearted feel of this card creation. Especially the way you added the little butterfly. I feel the same as you…I just love being in my stamp room whether I am reading, stamping, organizing, or going through cards. What a blessing to have a place that brings us creativity and joy not only to ourselves, but others.
These little guys are adorable, Leslie! I'm sure you had lots of fun coloring them! As always, you've found the perfect mix of papers to pair them with! They make me smile and wonder what they're talking about.
Leslie, these two are adorable, and as always you manage to pull out the nicest DP for your backgrounds ♥
Aw, the expressions on their faces are pure joy! You always come up with the best backgrounds. Coloring and backgrounds is what makes you knock things out of the park. I never get tired of your creations. :)
It's easy to see that these foxy guys have become your friends, Leslie! OH, the look on their faces! BTW I look just like that when I SEE a butterfly!
Darling personalized flight pattern to match that sweet patterned paper!

The cutest little critters, love their fun expressions! The background paper is fun as well, fits their little personalities! We have a resident fox living in the woods here, hoping to one day see little ones. Of course it drives Mack nuts, one night it decided to visit on our deck and that really got him going! Anyhow, adorably cute cute card!!
It is a good result when having an organising session leads to the use of an unused stamp, your card is great. What happy looking foxes xx
These little guys are so cute and perfect for the sentiment. i always love your whimsical cards.
Oh how sweet are these 2 critters! You created such a whimsical card Leslie. All your layering and die cuts. Your background paper is so fun, love those little butterflies, ties in with the butterfly on your image. So darn sweet! Lovely colouring with those Prismas too! Looking forward to more Rubbernecker cards! Have a great day Leslie!
Oooh, I see I have lots to catch up on, what a delightful day to be visiting your blog. Like catching up with a very special friend. The foxes are adorable, it's like they're laughing and I can almost see you smiling as you made this.I love every little thing about it! You put bits and bobs together with such flair! Sure wish that I still had my itty bitty BG stamps.
hee hee Adorable! These little guys are so fun, colorful and cheery. I am trying to get into my stamp room at least once a week for the sketch challenge. I need to get in here more myself. Alas... life is what it is. :-)
I keep a lot of products by company but I do have a few bins by category. lol It's cool how you get to know your own collections though! or embarrassing if someone doesn't have a clue what in the world I do! hoho Darling card! Cute coloring is so much fun and your card is definitely cute!
Wow the cuteness factor here is off the charts.
Adorable pencil colored and fussy cut foxes, Leslie. I love your pretty paper, die cut frames and sweet sentiment with the butterfly trail:-) I see that I am way behind on my commenting for April...having a poor wifi connection while camping for 3 weeks did not help...Love and Hugs and I am so happy to see you creating the pretties, cutest, sweetest cards, my friend.
