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.

Have a Little Faith

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.

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.
