The Sweet Stop Sketch 119- Ticket to Life
Hello!! I have a super fast post today but a fun one from The Sweet Stop Sketch. This is such a fun sketch and I really hope you will play along. These cute little kids are from Tiddly Inks called Ticket to My Life Girl and Boy. This paper from K and Company Urban was perfect for the life theme and I loved the funky colors and pattern.

A Flower a Day
Happy Friday!! I am so sad to say that today is going to be my last post as a Sweet 'n Sassy Design Diva. I had to make the hard decision to cut back a little until school gets back into full swing...summer is hard with the little ones as many of you may know. I am looking forward to early bedtimes and more crafting time but I cherish the time I spend with them because they grow up so fast. I have loved every minute of being on this wonderful team of ladies, Korin is truly an angel and I am so thankful to her. The good news is I will still be able to share my SNS creations at The Sweet Stop and The Sweet 'n Sassy Connection.
I have been dying to use this cute digi stamp called Peek-a-boo Sophie, I paired it with the Flower Sentiments Digi . I am a huge fan of Anne Geddes and those cute flower babies and this reminds me of them.
As always I used my Copics to color her and I used two of my new favorite things in my stash...Basic Grey Sweet Threads paper and MFT Die-namics Upsy Daisy to make the flowers (love these die cuts!!).

The Sweet Stop Sketch 118
Hello!! You can always count on my Sweet Stop Saturday post all though everything else has gotten a little in consistent this summer. I am trying to spend as much time as I can playing, swimming and having fun with the kids. When they get back to school there will be more time for crafting. I can't believe I will have 2 in elementary school already.
Hopefully you are still with me because here is this weeks card for The Sweet Stop SSS118.

I love this new stamp I got from Tickled Pink Stamps Lil Pinkett Tom Boyz Faith. I used the Digi version but it is also available in rubber so many cute ones to choose from. This so reminds me of my girls, so girly sometimes but love to play in the mud. I also love this paper from Echo Park called A Walk In the Park. The image was colored with Copics and I sponged the sky using my hand cut cloud templates. I used some Glossy Accents on the mud and shovel but as usual I can't get it to show up in the pics.

Wish List For Santa
Hi everyone!! I hope you had a great weekend and are looking forward to a blessed week. I am loving all of these cute Rhubarb Teddy Bears that Korin has created. Today I came up with an idea to send those special wishes to Santa using Rhubarb's Candycane Digital Stamp.
I started by making a Crisscross Card and used My Mind's Eye Wonderful Winter along with Bazzill cardstock. For the insert I typed up the "Wish List" on my computer and cut it to fit. This patterned paper was perfect to cut out the the trees and use them for a pull especially since I had three to send to Santa. As the kids find things they want for Christmas we will add them to the list and be ready to go. My kids were so excited when I showed them this and couldn't wait to get started... I just barely got the pictures taken:)
Details
Stamps- Sweet 'n Sassy Rhubarb's Candycane Digital Stamp, Sentiments and list computer generated

The Sweet Stop Sketch 117
Welcome to the weekend!! I am sorry I have been missing this week, so much going on here at home. My husband had surgery on his shoulder on Tuesday and over all the surgery went well but there is a lot of recovery involved..poor guy. I hate to see him hurt like that and learning to do this things with one arm is difficult. I volunteered at Vacation Bible School this week and helped in the craft area, it was so much fun and I loved every minute of getting to work with the kids. I will definitely do it again next year it is so rewarding. As you might have noticed my Blog is getting a little make over... what do you think? I think it is fun and a little bolder. The navigation bars aren't up yet hope to get those working early next week.

Hi crafty friends!! We have made it to another weekend. I wish I could figure out why time seems to be going by so fast, there has to be a good reason right? So today I wish I could put myself in this card... I would love to find time to take a long relaxing bubble bath..sigh:)
I started by using this weeks The Sweet Stop Sketch SSS116 and my image is from Tiddly Inks called Take Me Away. I added the floor with my Copic Multiliner and Copics.

I highlighted the bubbles and then added a coat of Stardust Stickles for a little bubbly shimmer.

I hate for him to go through that but he is in so much pain right now it is definitly the best thing. Another thing happening on Tuesday is my One Year Blogoversary and that means my First Candy as well. It is very important to me that those of you who have followed me over the past year have a good chance to win so I am giving away a prize that will go to the Followers I have before the 12th only and then a second open to new and old friends....stay tuned:)
Today All That Scraps has a fun Digi that will be released tomorrow Friday July 8th. Say hello to Froggie Balloon Digi by Christine Wooden. I started by using July's Sketch For You To Try. The paper is Echo Park Summer Days and the clouds were cut out by hand on a glittery piece of felt. One day I will buy a cloud die cut:) The sentiment is from C.C.

The Sweet Stop Sketch 115
Happy 4th of July weekend to everyone here in the states. We don't really have any big plans other than maybe a cook out. It has been so hot and dry here in Texas that there won't be any fireworks displays this year in our area at least...poor kids are little bummed about that. This week at The Sweet Stop we have a new sketch and also two new Sugar Babies please stop by the blog and welcome Shannon and Cathy. Sadly Denise and Dawn are leaving us and they will be truly missed but please don't forget to continue to visit them...hugs to you both.
I used Patriotic Cocoa by Sweet n' Sassy for my card and the paper is Creative Imaginations and as always I colored it with Copics.
