We're Friends and Family Blog Hop

Hi everyone!! It's almost Christmas and though we all have family and friends we enjoy spending time with at this time of the year, we also have family and friends that we don't see or visit with often enough but still mean just as much to us! Us gals on the Design Team of Color Me Creative Challenge Site wanted to take a moment to say send a big HUG and a special thanks to our fearless leader, Suzanne Dean.

Suzanne HAS to be the easiest and sweetest person to work with and, as many of you know from reading her blog, about the funniest too (though sometimes we ALL think she'd be better off leaving the house in bubble wrap! LOL) *Kidding!!*

As you may have figured out, Suzanne adores the time she spends with her family and quite often shares her travels and outings with us. So, as a little way to encourage her to continue doing what she loves best AND to keep sharing it with us... the DT would like to invite you to share in our little blog hop sharing our creations for Suzanne that remind us of family, sharing, recording memories and love. Suzanne is a perfect example of how to share as much time as you can with those you love and to create memories that will last a lifetime for generations to come.

So here's to you, Suzanne... we love you, your crazy ways and think you are just like family to us as well.

Even though I am not much of a scrapbooker I thought this would be the perfect way to honor Suzanne and her family. I snagged some new pictures off her blog, creepy huh? ha ha. On one of her recent projects she used a wooden frame to create and ornament and I loved the idea(she always inspires me). I used some ink around the edges of the frame and colored this sweet chickadee stamp by Sweet 'n Sassy. I added some Liquid Applique to the punches and stamp to resemble snow, a little Crystal Stickels finished it off.

Copics- E44, E43,E42/E31, E30/W3, W2, W1/R59, R24, R24

Now head on over to Jenn Cochran and enjoy the awesome project she is sharing with Suzanne. If you missed the beginning of the hop, you can head on over to Tina Gilliland.

Thanks for stopping by and we hope you have a VERY Merry Christmas and that you make all the memories and treasured times you can with your family and friends!

We love you, Suzanne and thank you for another fabulous year with the CMC DT "family"!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!

The Sweet Stop 175 Holly Wishes

How is everyone today? I am getting so tired of the 100 degree weather I decided I could at least dream of cooler temperatures by getting started on my Christmas cards. I just couldn't resist this sweet little fairy called Holly from Wee Stamps. I just love coloring these cute little faces, they just make me happy. To start my card I used the latest sketch from The Sweet Stop SSS175.

I just love this paper from Echo Park called Season''s Greetings. The holly embossing folder is from Sizzix and both punches are by Martha Stewart. I added a little Star Dust Stickles to the snow and wings.

The Sweet Stop SSS170

It is hard to believe the weekend is here again. Where is the time going? That made me think maybe I should start playing with some Christmas stamps and get a jump on some cards. I have to say I am not at all happy with my card. I just couldn't pull anything together this week, not even my coloring. Oh, well it happens sometimes. The one good thing about my card is of course the awesome The Sweet Stop Sketch SSS170 .

The image is by Penny Johnson called Decorating Rudolph and the paper is some old DCWV. I used my Copics to color it and my Bow Easy to make the bow topped off with a couple of little bells.

Winter Review and All That Scraps Digi DT Call

I have to say this post is a little hard to write. After a year and a half I have decided to step down from the All That Scraps Digi Team. It is hard because Christine gave me my first DT position and I am so grateful to her. C.C. Designs were then and now among my favorite stamps. The good news for the rest of you is there is a Design Team call for the All That Scraps Digi Team and you can find all the details on the ATS Blog. I am going to miss all of the wonderful team and my leader Ria so much!!
Today the team is reviewing some of the winter digis. I merged Sugar Plums Ski Bunny Trevor along with the Snowy Fence. The sentiment is from Amy R Stamps Holiday Greetings. I used my hand cut cloud dies and sponged around them to create the sky and added Polar White Flowers Soft and Martha Stewart glitter for the snow. The layout is from December's SFYTT but I did rotate it.

For my next project I created a snow filled ornament using the super sweet Polar Bear Digi.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend and take a break from Christmas shopping to craft.

Hello and welcome to the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Birthday Blog Hop! Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is so excited to be celebrating four wonderful years! I am so happy to be apart of this celebration. I have been a Sweet Stop Sugar Baby for 11months now and also had the privilege of being a member of The Sweet 'n Sassy DT. Korin is a wonderful, sweet and talented lady and I want to wish her many more years of success.

A fantastic group of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps design team members past and present, along with some special friends, have put together this fabulous Birthday Blog Hop to kick off a whole month of fun. We have 37 stops so the hop will take place over three days - feel free to take your time visiting each blog! You have until 11:59pm EST November 9th to leave comments on as many blogs as you can.

You won't want to miss any stops along the way! Also, don't forget to comment on as many stops as you can....the more comments the better your chance of winning one of the fabulous prize packs! :)

Cardinal Blessings

I decided to make something a little different to show you how versatile Sweet 'n Sassy stamps can be. I used the Cardinal Digi so that I could size him to fit my wreath but it is also available in a great clear set. I colored the image with Copics and did a second set of wings so that I could pop it up to give dimension. The Flowers are from the Your Friendship Set and I just stamped, layered and added some silver Stickles to edges. The Swirls are all from Sizzix and the Pine Branch Punch from Martha Stewart is my favorite tool this time of year. The sentiment is from the new Sweet 'n Sassy Christmas Tags (love this set).
