  To celebrate this premiere release I am the part of a blog hop today which is filled with inspiration from the SCACD, Quixotic Paperie design teams and some very special guests!

Since I have no idea about using crafting tools yet I do not have any card for you. I guess I wouldn't even dare trying to put one together after seeing some of yours wonderful creations in the blogland. However as I Really wanted to take part in this hop I decided to colour one of my favourites images - Veritas, to re-colour Loli and Shellie and use them both as an excuse to thank you for hopping with us today.:)))  I hope you enjoy this new release and all the inspirations that you will find along the way! :o)

So that's me and two of my girls - now some help if I have left anyone confused:

Together we decided to have some fun and bring an exclusive line of stamps with some absolutely unique mixture of funny, glamorous and sometimes even a wee bit nutty characters! :)  Today I am happy to add something fresh to this blog and present you first THREE images that have just been released at Totally Stampalicious!

 New Release! Thursday 14 July :o)

 

This is Felix

 Sneak Peek of one of the new stamps. 

            *On Thursday there will be also one "crazy love" ♥ comment randomly drawn from last post. The prize are 3 digital Wee Stamps :) 

Hello my Friends!

First of all - I am not sure if you read this Pinky, but if so - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! :o) I hope you will have a special Day today!

  I hope not to get you bored too much, but there is something I would love to write about. This morning I spot Rose's Bike Ride card so I visited Bettina blog to have a closer look. I read her post with great interest. She was complaining a bit about the rainy weather and wished for a storm. This is what she wrote:

"Im a girl who loves storms and the thunder. i get so excited and i love the adrenaline boost i get from it,lol. am i  really crazy? Well maybe i am a little crazy? just like you all, ha, ha! come on admit it, whats your crazy love? I told you mine, its thunder and lightning."

I think this "crazy love" idea is great! I decided to continue this and ask for your ones!  I am sure it will help us to get to know each other a little bit better and will help me not to feel too crazy about mu own crazy love,
which are.....

HENS, LITTLE CHICKENS AND ROOSTERS!

That is crazy, isn't it? LOL I generally love birds and little chickens just melts my heart. When I was a little girl I used to spend all summers with my grandparents on their farm back in Poland. There were no other kids in my age and I was rather a shy kid so I spend all days drawing and talking to hens and roosters. They were my friends with their own names (apart from those who where aggressive or simply not interested to socialize with me). LOL

I still love them, they do have different personalities, they are funny and they bring back my childhood memories. My dream is to have a little farm and to have there some most beautiful hens I have seen on poultry shows.

So what is your crazy love if you have one? Come on, share it, do not leave me with me crazy confession alone here! :o)

((To encourage you to share your crazy secret with us I am going to randomly draw one comment left here by you and reward it with 3 free Wee digis from weestamps.com or from NEXT release :o) ))

 OK - on to Wee Stamps. Here is my brand new release we have been waiting for. Dandelion Girl with watering can - wee design to fit the Spring that we (most of us:) have here at the moment and two new fairies : the Winter one for a change to Spring Bringer (already in Wee gallery) and one just pretty enough to be used for any season. :o)

Winter Fairy

Dandelion Girl

Tiny plumes fluttering
Make no delay;
Little winged Dandelion
Soareth away.  

Helen Barron Bostwick

 

Silver Fairy

Silent feet..... tiny bell......

silver dress ...... little plait......

Little Fairy,
Shine so bright.
Little Fairy,
Show your light. 
Brittany Graviet 

 Those're my girls! Some of you might be disappointed as there are no fluffies this time... but Hey! - the will come soon! :) 

Big hugs,
Sylvia Zet

Hi There Wonderful Crafters!

It has been a while since my last release but I was having some health issues and was not very creative the past few weeks.  As I feel much better now I can finally bring some life to this blog and clean some cobwebs away. :o)

I would like to welcome the new followers, thanks, it's great seeing you here! Thank You too to All of you for your comments and for sharing with me your cards and projects through emails and Facebook page. It really brings me lots of joy seeing Wee designs gaining new life in each of your creations. Some of your cards are so inspiring that I have not only ordered one of them as a gift for my friend but also find myself browsing through some crafting accessories with great interest  :0) LOL

OK. Now some Wee news. It seems like it's been a long time coming but finally it's here - the next release date set is Friday, 27th May.

Here is a sneak peek of one of new images.  

Those of you who haven’t visit Wee Stamps website since the last release might like to check the Angie digi stamp I quietly added a few weeks ago.  She was drawn especially for a request and she is Angel Cody’s wee sister.  I hope you like her.

Angie

Today I am doubly excited as I have also some very good news for anybody who would like to be a part of Design Team and not only work with my designs but also with the digi artworks of SIX other talented artists!! Cuddly Buddly Crafts, who also carry Wee Stamps, will be starting some fun challenges from July 1st and are presently looking for seven people to make up a Design Team especially for these Challenges. Please visit Cuddly Buddly blog here for more details.

Hope to see you there and Good Luck! :o)

April Release

 I would like to send you my biggest hugs and Thank You words for all your kind comments after my pre-release post. It is good to see that you are still visiting my blog and haven't lost patience with my irregular and rare posts here.
I am pleased that you liked photo with daffodils, I really wanted to share this April's beauty with you:))
Another thank you to Dawn for a Liebster Blog Award!:)) Dawn is also one Lucky Lady who lives in this beautiful (but rainy) city:))

For April Wee Stamps release I have designed four new digital stamps. Spring and fluffiness of Easter wee cuties were my inspiration for new images. Here they are:

Easter Bunny

Spring Bringer

Suzi With Bunny

 

Fluffy On The Lilly

 

I hope you like this new release.  I can tell you that it was quite challenging for me to ink all those fluffiness.:)))

You can find all new images here. 

Thanks again for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!! :)))

April colours...

April colours...

 

Hello!! :))))

 

 I have a wee something for you:) I am going to share photo I took yesterday. This is Edinburgh castle in background (I know it looks dark) - but just look at this spring meadow around it!!  I am in love with this place, thousands of daffodils and amazing scent of spring and flowers! Every year I look forward to see this golden blossom in the middle of city center. I take my camera, my sketchbook, I choose one of the benches there with view over the Princess Gardens and New Town and I spend hours among all those yellow heads..:))) The women you can see on this photo - it is my mother-in-law :) As it is her first visit here in April - I just had to take her there straight away from the airport bus and I didn't leave her time to get her bags unpacked :)  I just love flowers sooo much, the more of them - the better. I am sure you do as well ;))

And now to the main part..Wee Stamps!
Today I have this sneak peek of one of the images for April's very girly and very fluffy release. There are only 4 days left as it will be on Friday 15th. :)))

This is bunny - a wee bit scared, a wee bit lost, but - trust me - he is in good, little hands now :)


I would also like to invite you to check Wee Stamps Facebook Page. You can find the link to it on the sidebar. If you have any cards with Wee images and would like to share it - you are more than welcome to upload your creation to this gallery. There are already more than 40 beautiful cards. So if you need any inspiration - just have a look! :)
I was awfully lazy and naughty and I didn't ask for permission to use most of those cards.... I really hope you do not mind.
 

Biggest of Hugs,
Sylvia Zet

March Release

Good Morning!

At the beginning I would like to thank you for all your comments generally and each one of them separately. I was not able to respond individually, but your kindness and support means a lot to me.  As some of you know – I am originally from Poland, so writing in English is still challenging task for me.

Thank you also for your help with propositions of name for Suzi’s brother. My favourite ideas were: Kyle, Scott, Jim and Billy. So I couldn’t decide again ;) But as there were three votes for Sam, we decided that this is cute name too and we will have “Suzi and Sam” siblings. Thank you Ladies!

I hope you will like Wee Stamps new release. Here we go:

Rose's Bike Ride

Sam's Special Delivery

A Letter For Me

 Mr and Mrs Teddy Bear 

Sweet Blossom

Autumn Happiness

Big hugs,
Sylvia Zet

Next Release: Monday, 7th March'2011 @ 12pm (GMT)

Hello talented Crafters :).

    I hope you are all well and that you enjoy the first signs of coming Spring. Edinburgh is blooming with white, yellow and violet colours of crocuses at the moment. I have switched off my radio, as birds are singing now all day long and I prefer theirs cheering voices than any other music.

   OK, as for the Wee venture. Two crazy, but wonderful weeks behind me. After your encouraging emails and comments I was so full of creative energy, that I couldn’t put my pencil away. And with my other hand I have tried to response to all emails and visit every blog you invited me to. I do apologize if there was any comment or email I have left without a replay, I hope there wasn’t any.

    As some of you asked me for images with boys,  I have created this little fellow - Suzi’s brother. He will be available as digi along with other images on Monday.  I am still thinking about the name for him. If you have any proposition – please let me know.

I can’t wait to show you what I have designed for you. March release of six new stamps is ready to be launched, but if you have any suggestions, what else you would like to see designed be me in future – you are very welcome to leave a comment with your idea, I’ll see what I can do about it.

One more thing – I decided to change the file format for my stamps. Instead of PNG they will be JPG, as many of you asked for this file after having problems with transparent background of PNG.  If anyone prefers PNG – it will be available on request.

Thank you again for helping me with promoting my WeeStamps shop. Just two of us - Suzi and me wouldn’t do it without You! 

Miles of smile, :)
Sylvia Zet

Thank you for your help and understanding.

Words of gratitiude (end of Wee Suzi promotion)

Thank you again and have most wonderful day or evening, wherever you are at the moment :)

Sylvia

Happy Saint Valentine’s Day!!

Speaking about love….

 

There are many things I am in love with and one of them is wild and windy country – Scotland. Edinburgh, Scottish capital is a place I have spent some of the most magical time in my life. I love it’s history, architecture with this beautiful castle on the giant volcanic rock in the middle of the city centre, landscapes, music, accent, kilts, April’s yellow seas of daffodils and most of all – these happy and friendly Scottish people. 

Thinking about the name for my little store, I wanted it to be simple and associated with something I love as much as drawing, something Scottish. “Wee” – it was the word everybody was using around me when I came here 3 years ago. Wee boy, wee talk, wee flower, so many things were “wee” and I didn’t even know what this word means for so long… 

“Wee -  (Scottish, Northern Ireland, North England) small, little”

Today it’s the first release in my WeeStamps shop. I hope you will like it

Meet with Wee Suzi (who is the host of this event)  and her friends:

Wee angel Cody surprised with one ladybird visit.

 Doves couple on a swing with roses.

 Stamps are available here.

Thank you and all the best,

Sylvia
