My Heart Skips A Beat

hi ya, sharing a super simple card with you today, playing along with today's SCS IC474, check out the art using paper on this Pinterest Board...WOW. I was inspired by this paper creation here, not exactly what I had in mind...but, hey that is the creative process! I adore the heart tag from Simon Says Stamp, there are so many possibilities for this cute tag. I used the sketch from As You See It, pretty CAS for me. Hope you day is great, it is back to the grind stone for most of us on Monday....sigh....add a little glimmer to your life...sparkle & shine.

Christmas Wishes From Jessie

I created this card for the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge SSS30 and for The Play Date Cafe Challenge #4, to use the colors in the color palette above. I used this adorable image from Sweet 'N Sassy called Christmas Cheer. This is the perfect stamp set to have for the dog and cat lover. I will be sending these cards to my family and friends who know my Jessie girl, so the card is really from her. Some of you may think I am crazy for sending cards to people from my dog, but I do not have children so my Mom keeps my dog and she is a granddog to her.....hehehe. My Mom loves her as much as I do.

Anyway, I am happy with the colors, the lay-out, and the image; it all works well together. I could not resist adding the red button, I think it really adds to the whole card. I added chunky glitter to the stocking ends, so cuuuute. The card stock is Prism and the designer paper is SU Thoroughly Modern. I paper pieced the main part of the stocking. I hope you are preparing for Christmas, you know it is only 38 days away, can you believe it? I hope you have a fantastic day and enjoy!

Peaceful Butterflies

Good morning peeps, I have a card creation for you using today's Sweet Stop Sketch, SSS29, the sentiment is from Sweet 'N Sassy set Forget Me Not. I used the SU embossing folder for the main image and added the butterflies that where cut out of the SU Butterfly die, these are stunning. I used Memory Box Jewels for the center of each flower and for the body of the butterfly. The flower around the bow is Imaginisce and they are called Teacher's Bouquet. I also added a Black Corduroy Brad by Ava Creative. The dp is SU Thoroughly Modern. This is a super simple but very sweet card. I hope you have time to play along with the sugar babies this week. Enjoy your Saturday!

Holiday Cheer

I created this winter scene card for the Sweet 'N Sassy sponsored sketch challenge over at the Paper Craft Planet. Be sure to use the keyword SNSS1 when loading your creation to on line galleries. I used the fabulous Sweet 'N Sassy set called Winter At Home, I adore this set. There are three winter time scenes for you to color. I paper pieced the curtains using my new Winter Song designer paper by SEI. I so adore this paper, it is a gorgeous blue and red. I added a little sewing, ribbon with a button, and the sentiment Holiday Cheer is from the SNSS set Christmas Cheer. I hope you can play along and it is not to soon to start on those Christmas cards...*wink*.....enjoy your Friday night!

Sunbeam Birthday Day Bundle-Owen

If you are looking for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge scroll down one or click here.

Good morning and welcome to the Sweet 'N Sassy Blog Hop. I am bringing to you today one of the new released advance order Sunbeams. There are four different children in the set, you can learn all about each one here. This little guys name is Owen, here is a little about his character.

"He loves memorizing scripture and telling others about Jesus. He wants to be a missionary when he grows up."

This new line of clear stamps consists of 4 characters: Emma, Luke, Owen & Caitlyn. There is a short line that describes each image. Every few months SNSS will release a new series with a different theme. Each series will only be available for a limited time! Our first series is called Birthday Party in honor of our 2nd birthday :).

I colored him with copics and added the sentiment to the bottom. I added some scoring, a scalloped border and the ribbon tied with twine and a button. If you just happened upon my blog and want to see all the children in the set start at the top of this list and continue on the hop.

Sweet Flower

Good afternoon, if you are looking for the Verve Believe Blog Hop scroll down or click here.

My card creation today covers several challenges, the first one is the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge SSS27, you can play along and load your creation here. This was a fabulous sketch, I kept my main panel straight rather than on an angle. I used a Sweet 'N Sassy set called Pray Without Ceasing, there are lots more scripture stamp sets over at the Sweet 'N Sassy store, check them out!

I also was inspired by this beautiful necklace from yesterday's IC203 and that fits perfectly with the new challenge I discovered called Just Us Girls JUGS4, to use a 3D flower. I made a paper flower using different designer papers, distressing, and crinkling. I added a button and twine to the center to finish off my flower. I hope you have a wonderful evening and enjoy your time with family and friends! Don't forget to check back in the morning I will be sharing this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch and my creation; you don't want to miss it *wink*!

Harvest Blessings

Good morning, I am usually at work, but I am home this week on vacation. Dh and I went away for a couple of days to VA Beach. Friends of ours have just purchased a condo at the beach for get aways and they have given us the option of going and staying when we like. What a blessing that is, we luv the place and it is only about 30 yards from the beach, this is a picture I took the morning we left, isn't it gorgeous....it was very cool.

Well, for today's' card I used Sweet 'N Sassy Happy Harvest stamp set, aren't the images adorable? I so luv the pumpkin and scarecrow, I really like paper piecing so I used my Recollection Autumn paper pack for this one. I did some distressing, sanding, and a little stitching. This is for today's SC250....I hope you have a enjoyable day and be sure to check out the SNSS stamps, lots of them are on sale now.

Trust In The Lord

I created this for Taylor's Sketch Challenge from last Friday TESC78. I used Sweet 'N Sassy sets for this one, I stamped Dream Silhouettes off one time and then stamped the scripture in black on top. I used SU Cottage Wall dp, this dp is gorgeous. The bottom panel is the new SU embossing folder Elegant Bouquet on white card stock and then I sponged over it with SU Rich Razzleberry ink, I really like the way it turned out. I added black ribbon with a light lilac button, and I punched out butterfly. DH and I went away on a motorcycle getaway this past weekend to Pennsylvania, we went to York to the Harley Davidson Factory and to Lancaster to the Sight and Sound Theater, we had a wonderful time. The picture of the Lion and The Lamb was taken outside the theater, isn't it a beautiful site?

My dh is truly my biggest fan, I love that; he always makes sure I get to go to a stamping/craft store. I went to a ACMoore, it was my first time to visit an ACMoore, I like it better than Michael's. The one I visited was great, lots of stuff I can't find at Michael's. That's where I picked up these buttons, they are soooo cute, they are called Bag-O-Buttons. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your evening!
