And I'm also here to share the latest  Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge, Yay!  Our Awesome sketch is another Fabulous design by our Very own Sweet Sugar Baby,  Cathy McCauley! Thought it would be just Perfect to showcase my Newest SNSS Vintage Ornamets Set! Love this Awesome set, I can tell it's going to come in handy to easily whip out some Super Pretty Christmas cards and pretty quickly too, which is Perfect, as I am a bit behind on where I wanted to be with my Christmas cards so far this year, lol... 8-) So without further delay, here's my take on Miss Cathy's Fabulous sketch..

I stamped one of the Beautiful Vintage Ornaments with Cherry Cobbler onto TE's Choice Buttercream CS and did a little shading with my trusty Copics.  I fussy cut it out and popped it up with a bit of foam tape onto layered SB Classic Ovals and Scallop Ovals die cuts which I shaded with a touch of Antique Linen Distress ink.  My mats and BG layers were created with a combo of Cherry Cobbler CS and Authentiques Wonder 6x6 collection. And to finish it all up, I stamped my SNSS Senitment with Memento Tuxedo Black onto a MFT's First Place Award Ribbon Die-namic banner tag, a sparkly little gem and some fun gold lame ribbon... 8-) 

Here's Miss Cathy's Awesome Sketch... 

I sure hope you can play along with us at The Sweet Stop!Really can't wait to see what you all come up with this week! 8-) And as always, please, make sure to stop by and take a peek at the Wonderful creations the rest of the Super Talented Sugar Babies have put together for your inspiration.

Happy Birthday... - CR84FN57 Week 2!

Hi all! And a Very Happy Sunday to you! 8-) Sure hope you've all been enjoying your weekend..8-)  Well today I'm back with a real quick post for Week 2 of the CR84FN Color Challenge! So you guys still have one more week to play along with our Beautiful Color Combo! Yay! 8-)

I thought I'd try my hand at a clean and simply type card this time! I don't do them too often, so it's fun for me to give them a whirl every now and then. 8-)  I started out with a rectangular panel of kraft CS from my stash cut to size and cut out the Sweet butterflies with the help of my SB Butterfly 2 dies. I used the negative pieces and added some texture with the help of my CB and the Swiss Dots EF. I added a little distressing by lightly shading with SU white craft ink, then inking my edges with a touch of Vintage Photo Distress ink and then popped my panel up with a bit of foam tape. My mat and BG layer was created with some ivory CS from my stash and dp from Fancy Pants' Pretty Summer Soul Collection. And to finish it all up, I stamped my SU sentiment directly onto my card base and added a couple of mini roses from MAD Stamper Finds.. 8-)

Happy Mom's Day - Whimsie Doodles GD Fairwell..

Hi All! And a Very Happy Wednesday to you! Hope everyone's been having a Super weeks so far! Today I'm back to share my last Whimsie Doodles Guest Designer Card for the Month of April. I've had so much fun with Melyssa's Super Adorable images and even more fun getting to work with all the Wonderfully Talented  Doodlicious Divas to boot! Wish I could stay and play all the time! 8-) Thanks so much you guys, for having me, it was truly a pleasure! 8-)

I printed out my Darling Whimsie Doodles Turtle Parade image onto Flourishes Classic White and colored these little Sweeties up with my trusty Copics. I cut them out and scored the edges with the help of my Score Pal for a nice clean look and popped them up with a bit of foam tape. For my mats and BG layers, I chose a combination of SU's Calypso Coral CS and Dsp's from SU's Everyday Enchantments collection. And to finish it all up, I added a Petty little Flower behind Momma Turtles ear, and a few Cute little buttons all tied up with some Yummy Baker's twine from MAD Stamper Finds. Oh and the fun Sketch is DS46.

Hope you all have a Wonderful day & thanks so much for stopping in! 8-) 

Merry Christmas Everyone! 8-)

Hi All! And a Very Merry & Blessed Christmas to you! 8-) Today, I thought I would sneak one last post in with the last of my Christmas cards, real quick like though, cause I've  gotta pack up all my baked goodies to take to the Fire Station and continue with the Merry Making there..8-)

This one was pretty quick & easy to put together with the help of my Postage Stamp & Layered Poinsettia Nesties sets. The dp's are from MME's Holly Jolly set and I added a touch of Vintage photo distress ink to my edges. To finish it all up, I stamped my Hero Arts Sentiment, added a bit of ribbon from my stash and a few gold pearls for a bit of bling. 8-) 

This one was Super Quick too and was inspired by Kristina Werner's Adorable Card Here from her Holiday Card Series. I tell ya, she has such Adorable ideas and quick too! But alas, I have run out of time for this year, will just have to save them for next year.. lol 8-). I used SU's Stocking Builder punch and Stamp Set with SU's Cherry Cobler , Old Olive, and Pool inks, a bit of Yummy bakers twine, a tiny little gem, a few dimensionals, and my white gel pen that kept trying to get away from me, lol and Voila! my card is finished.. Pretty easy peasy, huh?.. 8-)

Merry Christmas Everyone! & Thanks so much for dropping in! 8-)
