Hello!

I sure hope you'll join us at the Ribbon Carousel for our next challenge! The talented Jessie has a fun one this week!

I decided to use some of the new-to-me Cosmo Cricket dp and the sweet PI Little Angel for my card today.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a wonderful day!

It's one of my favourite times of the month :)

First up is an adorable new Fred Bear - Takes a Hike.

Totally fun eh?

I stamped an coloured Fred with Copics, added a little stitching and some flat bottom clouds.

Next up is Die and Stamp set called You Move Me.

I wanted something masculine that I could leave for my husband in his lunchbox.

You can see the set below my cards....so many possibilities!

See that new Solid Bracket Border too!

Lastly I have another CAS card using the same set. This one is obviously more girly ;)

Love those little scooters! Cute!

True Friend - Stampin' Up

Good Morning!

This week I am actually glad to be returning to work.

The weekend was super busy and super stressful.

Work will be a nice break.

Sunday I spent the day stamping some MFT sneak peeks that you'll see later this week.

Afterward I checked out Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch and came up with this Stampin' Up only card.

I can't recall the name of this designer paper but it was a favourite of mine a few years ago.

Stamps: Simple Friendship; Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss, Shimmery White, SU! dp; Inks: Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss; Accessories: Mat pack and paper piercer, Dimensionals, Antique Brads

Thanks for stopping by today.

Summertime

Friday morning I had an extra 20 minutes before work and I took advantage of it....

I stamped a quick 15 minute card for the Free 4 All challenge on SCS.

This week they asked us to use stripes.

Easy right?!

Since my time was limited I reached for one of my favourite SU! sets, Branch Out.

Thanks for stopping by today!

I'm going to spend the day working on my last MFT Sneak Peeks that begin later this week and watch the Nascar race.

Have a FABULOUS day!

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.
