SAS - Sketch Challenge 8

This is my Stamp and Smiles card this week.

I made it for their Weekly Sketch Challenge, but after I assembled it and got ready to take a picture...I noticed that I had it backwards. It opened the wrong way.
I went ahead and photographed it anyway, but then decided to fix it, here it is corrected.

SAS - Sketch Challenge 6

Happy Thursday!!

I am so excited to bring to you another great Stamps and Smiles Sketch Challenge!!!
I have had so much fun with these sketches created by Mercy for Jennifer at SAS!!
I can't believe that just a short month or so ago, I had never done a sketch & was afraid of them...and now, I am having a blast with them!! You really can learn something new everyday!!!
Wanna know what I learned today?

1. I am still CRAZY for this adorable little cupcake stamp...Cuppy!!!!
She is just too cute!!

2. The Stamps and Smiles Stamp Line is so versatile. I am amazed at how easy it is to interchange the stamps from one set and use them with the stamps from another set and it REALLY WORKS!!
In this card, I actually used Cuppy Love, Egg Hunt and Mama Bunny Loves You!!
I love it that Jennifer designed some smaller pieces like the eggs I used to stamp my own "designer paper"!

Jennifer Meyer, owner and designer for her stamp line, Stamps and Smiles has SO much in store for us. I feel so blessed to get to help spread the word that SAS Stamps are just so cute!! Seriously, if ya haven't hopped over to the SAS Store and purchased your own set...Well, I hope you do soon as you are really gonna love them!!

Hope you will all join us for the SAS Sketch Challenge 6 on the SAS Blog!!
