SSSC102 - Happy Mail

 Good morning!  It's time for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!  Karen's got another great sketch for all of us and I hope you'll play along.  For my card today I used the My Favorite Things Pure Innocence stamp set Happy Mail.  I stamped and colored this sweet image using my Copic markers then paper pieced her dress and added my mat.  Then I added stitching to each of the designer paper background panels, a row of scallop border then tied on a ribbon.  I finished off my card by placing the sentiment which I flagged at one end using a square punch and my rose.  My circle (rose) is not exactly following the sketch so I guess I'm just a rule breaker livin on the edge, lol.

 On a side note, I haven't been blogging very much lately because my mojo has taken a little vacation, I think it has to do with the fact that I've got the winter blaaahs.  If you live in a state where you have winter then I'm sure you know what I'm referring to.  Hopefully I'll snap out of it soon and be back to creating and more blogging.

SSSC101 - Happy Birthday Cupcake!

 Happy Wednesday!  I'm a few days late with my card for this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch because this last weekend I was sick and wasn't up to stamping.  So now that I'm feeling much better I wanted to share the card I created using the SSSC101 and the Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients Kit.  This month's KI Kit is so fun, the papers and supplies in the kit are cheerful and sweet with all the glitter, hearts and buttons!  I used the TE stamp set For the Love of Cupcakes on this card and as you can see I flipped the sketch so my card was vertical and as I'm typing this post I'm now noticing that my card is not actually following the sketch (great!) oh well it is what it is and I had fun making it.

OK I'm not sure what happen to my sketch picture here but this was the best I could do.

Valentine Teacup of Love Card

 Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing one of the Valentine's Day cards that I've created for my Etsy shop, I currently have six of this style card listed along with a few other Valentine and every day cards.  This is a tent topper card and measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/4" and uses a combination of different stamp sets to create.  I thought the little "Love" hearts and buttons inside a teacup would be fun and something different for a Valentine's Day card.  If you're interested in visiting my shop you can click here.

Have a great weekend and I'll be back on Sunday with a Sweet Sunday Sketch card!

Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past Blog Hop

 Welcome!  Today is the Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past Blog Hop and the theme for the hop is "Love".  I created a Friend Valentine card using the products from this month's TE Key Ingredients Kit and the TE stamp set Sweet Occasions.  I started out by stamping and coloring this fun image with my Copic markers, then created the card base and layers using the glittery designer papers from the kit.  Then I tied on my ribbon, matted my image and added three threaded buttons to the upper right corner of my image.

I really love the TE Sweet Occasion stamp set, it's so versatile with all of it's great sentiments and images!  If you'd like information on signing up to receive the Key Ingredients Kit delivered to your door you can click here and to see more samples using this month's kit you can click here.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the Hop!
