A note from Ann and Denise…
Dear Friends, We hope that you have all had a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones and that you are keeping warm this winter season!
We wanted to kick off 2012 with a bang and decided to bring you a surprise mini edition of the Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Magazine. In this issue, we are showcasing some of the beautiful creations that our design team has cre-ated using the new images, sentiments, and dies that were released on Janu-ary 18. We also wanted to take a little bit of time to look back at the wonder-ful year of Whimsy Stamps products that we released in 2011 by bringing back some of our favorite creations from last year. We hope you enjoy this mini issue and that you are inspired to keep those creative juices flowing throughout 2012! Whimsy hugs,
Ann and Denise

Stamps: Giraffes in Love, Love Mini Tickets; Ink: Copics; Embellishments: flowers, ribbon, sticky pearls, brad, sticky gems; Other: Whimsy Stamps Mini Ticket Die, MS Heart Border Die
by Iris Wiechmann
Why Iris chose this card: My absolute favorite card I made in 2011 is definitely “Giraffe’s in Love”! I LOVE these animals and whenever I can I visit our local zoo (of course I have an an-nual pass ;-) ) where you can feed and pet these gentle giants. They have the most beautiful big brown eyes! So no wonder when I saw this stamp by Crissy Arm-strong that I fell in-stantly in love with it.
Whimsy Stamps had an amazing year in 2011! We wanted to take a few moments to re-flect and reminisce about the wonderful Whimsy products that were released. In this section, some of our DT members have chosen their favorite cards and creations to share with you!

Stamps: Polar Club Melt, Love Letter Seals; Paper: K & Compa-ny; Colouring Medium: Copics; Embellishments: Tim Holtz brads & medallion, twine and Nestabilities Labels 10
Why this is Marilyn’s favorite Whimsy creation: Here is one of my favourite digi creations for 2011 because it was the first card I made as a new Whimsy digi designer and I was so thrilled to have been asked to join the team. I like polar bears and this image is a ‘feel-good’ one because of the way Mama bear is happi-ly holding Baby who is snuggled in and content.

By Stephanne Maraver
Why Ellie chose this card: I love how the cute image looks like it's framed in the cen-ter of the card, and how it stays the main focal point. The colors of white, silver and blue that I used I are also my favorite to use for wintery cards.
Why Stephanne chose this card: This was my first card of the new year, when all the pressure of Christmas was behind us. I love the image and the contrast of white on white with the rich red and green. It's something I can only rarely achieve, as I tend to over-load everything with distress inks.

By Niki Estes
Why Patricia chose this card: I like this card because when I was a little girl my mom would take my sister and me to circus and it was one of the happiest child Hood memories I have. My moth-er would struggle to save money for the Circus, Living in Mexico we didn't have many trips that my mom could afford. This image and the colors too remind me of all those Happy Child Hood Memories I have.
