Friends 'Til The End

This is my last week with the Sweet Stop :(

Things have just gotten too busy with work and I'm finding less and less time to stamp these days.

I know I almost always have a card here daily but that's because I sit down one day a week and stamp like mad....ha! Those times may be eliminated soon too....boo hoo!

My card today uses the Sweet Stop Sketch #114.

I wanted something bright and fun!

I reached for the PI You Color My World along with some fun Echo Park designer papers.

A little bit of stitching and some Upsy Daisy Die-namics were used to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy your weekend!

Journey SSS113

This week the Sweet Stop has a fun sketch with a spin....a round card!

Last week I had picked up a really pretty pack of designer paper from Kaiser and was excited to use it again.

The black paper has a little bit of embossed shimmer to it. You can sort of see it in the photo.

For my card today I used some MFT butterfly dies. These are so fun to layer and pop up!

Here is an inside shot where I used the Clearly Sentimental About the Journey which is the triple scoop for June.

Here are the dienamics I used on my card today...

PTI's All Booked Up - SSS112

Hello!

I'm so glad it's the weekend. This has been a REALLY long week. With a couple out of town road trips and Chloe being away....it's seemed longer than normal.

Today the Sweet Stop has a new sketch for you.

I decided to go all Papertrey today :)

I've used the sweet set called All Booked Up along with the matching die.

Papers and ribbon are from the Sweet Blush Collection.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a GREAT weekend!

Enjoy Today SSS111

Hello!

It's Saturday which means it is time for another Sweet Stop Sketch!

This week I went fairly clean and simple.

I used a couple of dies and the Verve sets called Bloom & Grow as well as Hope Blooms.

The leaves were die cut from the Elegant Leaves Die.

Thanks for stopping by today!

My Little Love Bug

A while back I had to get this image from Stamping Bella for Chloe.

She has always had this fascination with VW Bugs.

You know the game....

Punch Buggy Blue....no return?

OMG....years later and we still play it....BUT no punching!

I bruise easily ;)

When I found this in the stash I knew I had to use it for the Sweet Stop Sketch #110.

Isn't she a cutie!?!

I added some Spica glitter pen to the hearts and some Glossy Accents to the wheels and headlights.

I have a super busy weekend ahead! I hope I can get all my DT commitments finished by late Sunday so I can watch the Nascar Race. I may not be coming up from the basement ALL weekend! LOL!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Geeks Rule - SSS109

Hello!

Well it's the weekend and a LONG weekend to boot!

I ♥ long weekends!

This week there is another twist to the Sweet Stop Sketch.

Masculine!

You up for the challenge?

I don't know about you but I don't have a lot of masculine stamps and creating cards can be difficult.

I had to hold back from adding ribbon or buttons or flowers! LOL!

Here I used the Who's That Geek Guy from MFT.

On the inside I used one of the fun die-namics called Sweet Stack Label Dies.

Thanks for stopping by today!

I have a LOT of stamping to do this weekend in preparation for the upcoming MFT Sneak Peeks!

One Person SSS108

Hello!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Blogger doesn't have any more issues ;)

This week the Sweet Stop has another wonderful sketch with an optional twist....stamped backgrounds!

I pulled out a couple of Verve sets.

I stamped the leaf images from Bloom & Grow in Old Olive ink.

The sentiment comes from One Person.

This was a different style for me but I'm liking the shabby vintage look.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a GREAT weekend!

Happy Birthday - SSS107

Hello!

It's great to be back! I still haven't stamped anything all week but I'm sure I will this weekend :)

Sometimes we all just need a break, right?

Any way, I want to share a card that I made for this week's Sweet Stop Sketch #107.

I {heart} this fun layout with the diagonal panels!

As I said earlier this week, I LOVE this purple designer paper from LilyBeeDesigns Picket Fence.

See those tiny flowers on the designer paper?

Right away I thought of this pretty floral image from Verve's set called Fancy Florals.

I stamped the flowers in Elegant Eggplant and Pale Plum. A little bit of Atyou Spica Pen was added to the inside pale plum but it's hard to see...sorry!

Stamps: Fancy Florals; Cardstock: White, Royal Velvet, LilyBee Designs Picket Fence; Inks: Elegant Eggplant, Pale Plum; Accessories: SU! scalloped punch, Mat pack and Paper piercer, Oval Nesties, Dimensionals, Atyou Spica Pen, White Brads

This card is a SU! only card too :)...well minus the oval nesties....lol

I dug deep in the drawer and found this Maine Blueberry dsp to use. I just love the colours and papers. A good masculine card.

I used the Branch Out set and some SU! buttons and edge punch.

Hello!!

I'm so happy to be home and can't wait to stamp! I hope my mojo is still alive and kicking after a week! Yikes!

Luckily, I had my Sweet Stop Sketch completed before leaving for Vegas ;)

This week we are on sketch #103....wow time is flying!

Chloe has been playing with all my old CC Designs images and inspired me to pull out Nurse Nora.

I've coloured her with Copics and sponged a bit of So Saffron around the edges.

I hope you'll play along with us and upload/link your card on the Sweet Stop Blog.

Have a GREAT weekend!

I Miss You

Hello!

This weekend I am leaving for Las Vegas and warm weather! Just in time too since we are in for a dumping of snow again :( Just when most of my grass was drying out....lol

I'll be spending my Saturday digging out my flip flops!!!!

I've used another cute Pure Innocence Girl from MFT and some pretty MME Stella & Rose dp.

You Make Life Sweet

Hello!

Wow we have had a FANTASTIC week of warm weather and the snow was melting like crazy! I could see most of my grass out back but now we are under a heavy snowfall warning....lol Boo Hoo!

I'm sure I'll find something fun *wink* to do while being stuck indoors :)

Today I am sharing a card I made using this week's Sweet Stop Sketch #100!

A little bird told me there might be something sweet up for grabs if you play along with the sketch.

The sketch this week has a twist....something sweet!

I chose to use the cute PI - Make Mine a Double.

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your weekend! Hopefully you are having some nice weather!
