Notebook Cover-The Sweet Stop Sketch 171

Happy Sweet Stop Saturday my friends!!  Another week has come and gone way to quickly.  We took another trip to Austin today but his time to stop by Ikea.  My kids love going there and playing in the kids area while we shop, it was on their "summer to do" list.  So funny I take them to children's musems and places all summer and they just want to go to Ikea, granted I think this trip cost me more than  any of the others LOL.
Anyway, as I said it is The Sweet Stop Saturday and we have another fabulous sketch to share with you.  The reason my card looks so big is because this is actually a special cover I made for my first graders 3 ring binder.  Riley loves mermaids, dolphins and lady bugs so we hit 2 out of three.

The background stamp is from Make It Crafty called Coral Border Digi, the mermaid is Sweet November Shimmer Rekelp and the dolphin is from the Ocean Wavedancer digi.  The swirl is from Memory Box.  The wave punch is from Fiskars and I used  circle punches and Copics to create the bubbles. Riley made sure that I knew dolphins look shiny so I added a coat of Glossy Accents and the mermaid got a coat of Crystal Stickles.

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.

*Sweet 'n Sassy just released an adorable new Teddy Bear collection and he is called Rhubarb and you can find him HERE.

Yikes sorry that was a lot of information.  Now on to  The Sweet Stop Sketch 117 and this week there is a Spin... Christmas In July that means if you play a long there is a prize to be won.

 I never got a chance to use this stamp I got this past winter from Sweet November Stamps called Neva, isn't she cute? The paper is My Minds Eye Signature Christmas Stack.  I just love this color combo, one of my favorites for sure.  I stamped "Let It Snow" but it is kind of hard to see because of the snow glitter.. I guess it works with the theme.  The gems are from Recollection and I added a little distressing and Diamond Stickles for some glimmer.

Princess Lilliane at The Sweet Stop

I had hoped to be back on track this week and get more crafting done but not yet, I got way to use to staying up late and sleeping later over the holidays.... I hate going back to school:)
Today I used a new stamp and a new sketch from The Sweet Stop , I may have just broke my resolution to use my neglected stamps.  This is Princess Lilliane from the newest release from Sweet November, I love these stamps they are just beautiful and you can find them here at All That Scraps.  My girls told me she looks like The Little Mermaid so I had to go with red hair.

Grumpy Georgia Sweet November Digi Release Day

 I have to tell you I just love this new digi from All That Scraps called Grumpy Georgia by Sweet November.  Now around my house my 2 1/2 year old immediately decided it was of her so she calls it "Grumpy Addi".  I must say the resemblance is striking at times.

I had to use her favorite colors pink and blue because she asked me to make it for her.  The paper is just so bright and cheery (Cosmo Crickets Delovely).  I used the sketch from the Sweet Shop SSS72 .  The sentiment was done on the computer, the flower is Prima and the ribbon was from my stash.  Now stop by the ATS Blog and see the rest of the wonderful creations by the ATS Digi Team and Sweet November Girls. 

Have a wonderful day!!!  I can't wait to see what you create with these new digis.

Sweet November Sneak Peeks Meet Spindle Mossyrock

I am finally back with a card, woo hoo.  What a crazy week it has been with 2 sick kids, work outside of the house and late night crafting.  The only thing that keeps me from totally losing my mind these days is my crafting time.  I am sure all of you know how relaxing it can be, I lose track of time.

Today is sneak peek day at All That Scraps and the talented Amy Young has created 3 adorable Digis for her Sweet November line that will be released Monday the 13th. Stop by The ATS Blog and see all of the wonderful cards that the ATS Digi Team and Sweet November Girls have created for you.

When I made the card my idea was to make it look like Spindle Mossyrock was flying through the forest stirring up leaves.  I used the leaves from the C.C. Designs Swiss Pixie Halloween Scene cut them out and attached them to my Sizzix Decorative Flourishes.

I am so ready for fall but here we are still in the upper 90's yikes, so for now I will make fall cards and just dream of cooler weather.  I was pretty happy with the way her skirt turned out to look like I turning leaf, here is a closer look.  It shimmers more in person, a photographer I am not. 

I hope you enjoyed my shout out to fall.  I will have another sneak peek for you very soon so please stop back by.

Sorry it has been a few days, I have been working behind the scenes on some projects for later this week that I can't wait to show you.
All That Scraps just had their August release so if you haven't yet please take a look Here.  There are so many cute Halloween stamps you are going to love them.

This is C.C. Designs Sweet November Baby Trick or Treat Dragon. Amy Young designs the cutest stamps, they are always some of my very favorites. I used the Digi Version and it worked out great to size him down just a bit to fit my card plus I didn't have to wait for him to come in the mail. 

  My son had the cutest little dragon costume when he was two, the tail shook side to side when he walked it was adorable, this stamp takes me back.

The Cardstock is SU, the DP is SU Cast A Spell and the Candy paper is from The Paper Studio. The accessories I used are Large Circle Nesties, Diamond Stickles, buttons and twine from the local craft store.

I used this weeks sketch  SFYTT by Jen Del Muro, give it a try for a chance to win a great prize.
