July Sweet Peeks Day 4
Good Morning!! I have another Sweet Peek to show you from the July release of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. This set is called Your Friendship. It has three pretty flowers along with 7 beautiful sentiments that can be used for so many special people.
No coloring today but the funny thing is I struggle with the more simple cards. These flower stamps are so pretty paper pieced or colored and the Design Team has some great creations to inspire you right HERE. All of the new sets will be released on July 1st but don't forget about the Release Party on June 30th at The Sweet 'n Sassy Connection.

Sweet Peeks Day 1 A Helping Hand
**This is my second post today so please scroll down for The Sweet Stop Sketch**
Welcome to the first day of July "Sweet Peeks" from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. You will love all of the sets and you can catch each days previews at The Sweet ' Sassy Blog right HERE. Today's preview is a wonderful new set called Helping Hand it includes this sweet image along with several wonderful sentiments. If you have never used Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps you really should give them a try the quality of the stamps is excellent and they stamp beautifully. Another thing I love about them aside from the images is the great sentiment stamps I am trying to add them all to my collection.
Such A Blessing
The Sweet Stop SKetch114
I am so thankful for the ability to get instant digis at any hour of the night or day. My card for this weeks The Sweet Stop Sketch SSS114 took a wrong turn after working on it off and on for most of the day and at 1:00 AM I decidied to give up and work with what I had done and find a new image. Look at this adorbable little Faith Lamb I found HERE at Sassy Cheryl's. It ended up working out perfectly if I do say so myself and it didn't take me anytime to color. Technology is awesome. I did change the sentiment to a flower since I already had one on the image.

ATS Digi Monkey Preview
Hello and welcome to a fun new preview of four adorable new Monkey digis by C.C. Designs Christine Wooden. These will be available Friday at All That Scraps. The first one is Latte Monkey...aahh a monkey after my own heart. I thought it would be cute to make a coffee cup shaped card and then decided to Google the idea and guess what?...someone already came up with the idea and HERE is a tutorial. A little secret about me... I am horrible at following written directions so I kind of winged it and changed a few things such as rounding the bottom of the cup.
Surprise it is a gift card holder, isn't that fun? The sentiment is from C.C. Designs Amy R Autumn Sentiments.
One of the many good things about digis is that you can adjust the size to fit any project. I created this little bib using my Spellbinders dies. I think this would make such a cute baby shower invitation

A Happy Hello
Hi everyone!! Please don't adjust your computer screen...I have a really big card to show you today. I just had to make it longer to get these cute sea creatures all together. Today I used one of my favorite new stamp sets from Sweet 'n Sassy called Happy Ocean Friends not only does it have all of these cute little creatures but it has so may adorable summer sentiments, you will love them!!
I tried to follow a sketch that I found on Splitcoast TESC140 but I was set on using these papers from my stash that just weren't long enough so I had to come up with a little different layout.
I used a 1/2" circle punch to mount the images on which is the perfect size for these little guys. I colored them with Copics and added a coat of Crystal Stickles for a little shimmer. I hope you have a wonderful day and find some time to get crafty.

The Sweet Stop Sketch 113
I am sorry I am a little late getting this post up today. I stayed up until 3:00 AM getting it done and completely forgot I didn't type up my post...ooops:) Today I am in Houston visiting my brothher after watching him play in his band at The House of Blues last night. Today we will be spending the day in the pool since it will be a 102 degrees today..yikes!!
Now the reason I am here today this weeks Sweet Stop Sketch. It's the 3rd Saturday of the month, and it means it's Sketch with a Spin and PRIZE time. The winner of this week's sketch will receive a $15.00 gift certificate to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store. So get ready to make those Circle cards.
I apologize my coloring is not my best , time got away from me and as I said it was so late when I finished and I just couldn't seem to get things to work out the way I wanted.
I just love this cute stamp from Tiddly Inks called Going Swimming she looks like my girls. The sentiment is from C.C. Designs Amy R Summer Sentiments, the wave punch is from Fiskars and the paper is Echo Park Summer Days and you can find it Here. I added the water drops from Recollection. Since I am away from home I don't have the Copic colors with me but it you would like them leave me a comment and I will get them to you.

SC337 Bluebird Song
Hello!! I hope everyone is having a great week. Today I had a chance to play with the Wednesday Sketch Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers SC337 and Sweet 'n Sassy's very own Korin Sutherland is the sketch hostess this week.
I kept everything CAS for my card so that this beautiful image called Bluebird from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps would be the main focus. Since I didn't add any embellishments I doubled up the wings and a few flowers to give it a little extra.
Have a wonderful rest of the week and I hope everyone finishes up those Father's Day Cards, including myself:)

Hello!! How was everyone's weekend? Nice and hot here but we actually didn't do much of anything except church this weekend..boring I guess you could say. With it being summer we don't actually have to get everything done on the weekend if you know what I mean.
It is time for a new challenge at My Partner In Crafting Crime and the theme is
#29 Tutti Fruitti
We want to see fruit some where on your creation. With it being a 100 degrees here I think my card is very fitting or should I say refreshing. Sorry I can be a goof ball sometimes:) I used a coat of Glossy Accents on the lemons and lemonade but it just didn't show up in the picture.

Love You Loads and Loads-The Sweet Stop Sketch 112
Hi everyone!! It has been the first week of summer vacation here and it has been basically adjusting to no school and swim lessons. I am finding it hard to get cards made with everyone home and I lost my night time energy some where so if you find it please let me know:) Here is my card for this weeks The Sweet Stop Sketch SSS112 and yes, I know I have done this color scheme before but I love this paper from My Mind's Eye called Hattie.
So next week me and my husband will be celebrating our anniversary and I spent forever trying to find a stamp for the occasion and couldn't find the right one. So this is what I ended up with showing my domestic side:) I came up with the sentiment and just typed it up on the computer. I kind of messed up the masculine theme with the flowers but I love it and I did use a button instead of a paper flower so I think that makes it better.
The stamp is from The Greeting Farm called Laundry. I just love how her curls turned out, so fun to color.

The Sweet Stop Sketch 111
How is everyone doing? School is now out for summer, I can't believe how fast the year has gone. I am looking forward to fun times with the kiddos and then will dread seeing my Riley start Kindergarten. I try to remember to to appreciate every moment while they are little because I already see how fast they grow up. Today's card is one I made as a "Thank You" to one of the wonderful ladies that works in the office at school. I used this weeks sketch at The Sweet Stop SSS111 and I hope you can join us this week as well.
I made these little apples for gifts as well filled with special presents using my Cricut and Apple a Day template from My Time Made Easy. I loved these and will definitely be making them again.

What's Cookin With Cocoa?
Today I have a fun little gift set that I altered to share with you. If you have followed me for awhile you know I occasionally like to change things up from doing cards. I think it is such a nice touch to make a personalized gift out of things that don't cost that much.
I found this cookbook at my local craft store and loved the pattern on it. I then remembered the great cooking Digi's that Sweet 'n Sassy has to offer so I started by using Pie for Cocoa colored him with Copics and added some ribbon to the cook book, cute and simple. I then used the Recipe Card Digital Stamp and personalized the corners by adding Pie for Cocoa along with one of the Kitchen Sentiments Digis. These recipe cards are so versatile.. think of what a great gift idea these could be.
I thought this giant paper clip would make a great recipe card holder while you are cooking. I am forever losing my recipe ... problem solved. Don't forget to laminate your stamped image for easy clean up. I used Chef Cocoa and added the Kitchen Sentiment to the hat. That is one of the many great things about digis, you can personalize items even more.
