SSSC66 - Elements of Style

It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!  Karen's got a fun sketch for us today so I hope you'll join in with the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers and give it a try.
My card for the sketch uses a new stamp set from the up coming Summer Mini Catalog Elements of Style.  I've had this set sitting on my desk for the last week or so after being able to pre-order it but this is the first its seen ink, I think this set has such a pretty vintage romantic look to it and I can't wait to create more projects using it.

Supplies: Elements of Style, Bella Toile, Bella Rose DSP, Nestie die, Eyelet border punch, Ribbon, Hole punch, Piercer, Pop dots, Sponge.  Colors: Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette.

SSSC65 - Watercolor Trio

Happy Sunday morning to you!  It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!  The card that I have for Karen's sketch uses the stamp stamp set Watercolor Trio which is from the Summer Mini Catalog that starts May 1.  I thought this set was so pretty when I first saw it with its soft leafy stems, butterfly and three greetings that I knew I had to have it.  I'm also using this card as my swap for the Control Freaks group that I belong to, this is my first time swapping cards with the group and I'm a little freaked about swapping with such talented women (I'm hoping they like my card).

Supplies: Watercolor Trio, Square Lattice Impressions Folder, Large Oval punch, Scallop Oval punch, Scallop Trim border punch, Ribbon, Piercer, Pop dots.  Colors: Old Olive, Riding Hood Red (so happy this color is coming back), So Saffron.

SSSC64 - Sweet Scoops

Good Sunday morning to you!  Today Karen has another great sketch for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #64.  For my card I was happy to be able to use the new Sweet Scoops stamp set from the up coming Summer Mini Catalog since I just received my pre-order. 
I'm going to keep this short since my brain seems to still be on vacation from this last week.  My husband and I took our three kids to Florida were we stayed in Clearwater and went to Bush Gardens and Adventure Island water park.  We had a great time but I'm moving a little slow since we got home late Friday night.
Supplies: Sweet Scoops, Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder, Ribbon, Scallop border punch, Piercer, Pop dots.  Colors: Chocolate Chip, Soft Suede, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron.
