Meet Grendalyn

Here's a wonderful image from Sweet Pea Artist Terra Bidlespacher called "Grendalyn"(Plate #182). Isn't she great? I love this artist's work. If you click the link and see Terra's coloring and design of the image, you can see that this image wasn't necessarily meant as a halloween theme image, but if you look at my coloring and card layout here, that is exactly how I used it!


Sometimes I think it is great to see how another person uses an image when I get a stamp and how differently they may color it and make it look. Take a peek on the Sweet Pea Website and see how the artist makes this image look compared to my card today.

Here's another great idea that I have for this stamp, I have the most delicious printed paper in a halloween theme and I want to stamp this image on it to cut out the hat and the outfit to make a paper-piecing. That would look so cute! She would look wonderful with some Halloween patterned paper Hat and matching outfit!

Hope this card is putting you in the Halloween Mood!! Be sure to stop by the Sweet Pea store and check out all the great images from this artist and so many others!


It's celebration week for me at my blog due to just passing another milestone post-brain surgery! In celebration, my personal blog's postings this week are full of candy, and I am gonna give-away a wonderful Terra Bidlespacher stamp to someone who leaves a comment on my blog (CLICK HERE) posting! Go check it out.

Cheers, Holley

  6. I think she is adorable as is, but would love to see you paper piece her! It would look so different I am sure.
