"Sunshine’s Stamps is the brainchild of Christina and Rob with a lot of wonderful input from Chrissy! There are a lot of Stamp Company’s forming up out there. Digital images seemed to be the way to go for us. We had been looking for a venture to do together for quite some time and after some poking and prodding I managed to inspire my Hubby Robbie into making his first attempt at a digital image. Now, I am very fortunate to have an accomplished artist as a husband. Not many out there can say that!! Robbie is an aviation and railroad artist of well known repute. His fine art can be found on his Website or on his blog which is dedicated to his mistress, the Argus this of course was the inspiration for our first image – Angus Argus. We have a wide variety of stamps in our inventory; however we specialize in masculine images! We love to "sunshine" masculine vehicles and give them personality! Whether it's a card of your husband, boyfriend, man-cub, or daughter, we have an image that will suit!"

Here is my design card for
Midnight Madness Sketch #30
I also combined this card with
the Pixie Cottage Challenge
that required stitching of any kind!
That was an easy one because I just love stitching on all of my cards!

I used a pixie cottage image that was illustrated by Artish.

Santa and his reindeer's throughout my childhood have always been magical to me! Santa and his reindeer fly everywhere on Christmas Eve. I just couldn't pass up this adorable image of Santa and
one of his reindeer checking out the list
from the inside of Santa's sleigh,
before everything is delivered!
They could be on your roof top on Christmas Eve!

The design team has created many beautiful cards for your inspiration.
Please stop by the Home of Midnight Madness to see all of those wonderful cards!


Thank you so much for your wonderful comments!
I appreciate all of them
