Shake A Tail Feather & Manuels River Hiking Photos

Hi & Hello!
Today's card uses a Splitcoast Stampers Challenge Sketch and the newest Toodles & Binks image Puddleduck Pothington (doesn't the name just make you grin??). You get the sentiment and the image in a set.

I colored little duckie with the Copics you see above (forgetting to add Pale Sepia and Sepia that I used to color the reeds). The wire Copic holder in the background has been a godsend to me - love the easy access for my Sketch and Original sized markers, and it looks so sharp on my desk. It is available by special order from Diana at Magnolia-Licious.

The paper is by Sassafrass Lass (both sizes of Vintage Yummy Blossomed and Bazzill textured cardstocks). Lots of different Spellbinder's Dies helped with the cut work.

The pretty paper and fuzz flowers are Martha Stewart Daisy Glossary Dimensional Stickers.

Toodles & Binks is a new UK based stamp company started by a fellow crafting freak Kay Bolton. Kay will gladly accept PayPal and ship her unmounted red rubber anywhere in the world!

She is such a lovely lady and the rubber is great quality.

I wanted to leave you with some shots taken this past weekend. We went hiking along Manuels river.

The trail leads from these interesting flat rocks with cascading river water all the way to the beach and ocean. Tons of baby ducks and Sandpipers along the way.

They have lots of fossils in the area; it is quite common to find Trilobytes. I wanted to find one so badly but no luck - this time around :)

 It was so serene and beautiful. The doggies loved it.

Thanks for stoppin' by!

This is such a cute card. When you look at ducks, in real life. They really do shake their tail feather's. Cute stamp also!
This would be a cute digi stamp.

Suzy, you're killing me!!! I found that precious stamp of the rooster on the barn from Toodles and Binks and ordered it AND the goat. Thanks for you help and guidance in getting me there...As soon as I got it, I got their latest note with their newest release Puddleduck - he's so precious. So I have to order again...you are such an enabler!!! Darling card.. And love the pictures. Reminds me of when we used to go camping as kids up near Markleville and Lake Tahoe. Such wonderful memories!
