SSS219..My Beautiful Friend

I've been a little MIA the past couple of weeks. I enjoyed some much needed time off work to go camping with my mom. Camping is fun, but it was very hot and humid. I asked her if we could start going camping January instead of July. I don't think she went for it. LOL!

Anyway, it is Saturday once again, and time for another Sweet Stop sketch challenge.

I pulled out a new 8x8 paper pad I bought at Walmart last week. I love the fun colors and patterns. So that was my starting point. The sentiment is from the New Creature set. I used a square in place of the circle and the wooden cutout bird on a branch instead of a bow.

It is now your turn to try out the sketch this week. Take a little time to get creative and cool off if you are in a warm climate like me.

Make sure you stop by The Sweet Stop Sketch blog to see what the rest of the Sugar Babies did with the sketch and share a link to your project.

Make it a great weekend!

SSS216...My Friend

It's another Saturday and we are officially into Summer. Yet, I am soooo ready for Winter. It is also time for another Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge. The sketch this week is a nice simple one. Perfect for using up some card stock scraps. Which is what I did.

I used a Whisper White card base. I stamped the poppies image from the Precious Poppies set several times along the top of the card and then layered the pattern paper pieces along the bottom. I also stamped the poppies on some white scraps and cut out the open flowers. I attached them with a small glue dot in the center so the edges of the petals are loose and slightly raised for dimension. I cut the tag out with a Silhouette cut file and stamped Friend, also from the same stamp set onto the tag. I tied it onto the ribbon with some baker's twine and attached a little safety pin.

I would love to see what you make with the sketch this week. Head over to The Sweet Stop Sketch blog to get the details and to see what the rest of the Sugar Babies made.

SSS215...She Shall be Praised

Happy Saturday everyone! I am currently enjoying some fun camping time. I was able to get a little stamping in this week while camping when it wasn't raining. I made the card for The Sweet Stop Sketch this week during one of those nicer days.

This week we also have a theme: "It's A Girl Thing!" I don't have a lot of girly stamps, but I thought this verse from the Precious Poppies set was a perfect "girly" verse. I used some pattern papers from my stash. I cut the scalloped banner, ovals and "button" with my Silhouette. I used the cool Basket Weave embossing folder from Darice that I just picked up last Friday. I love that textured pattern and will be using it a lot. I tied it all together with some twine and lace trim.

I would love to see what you can do with the sketch this week. Get your girly supplies out and get stamping. Check out all the details and see what all the other Sugar Babies did with the sketch and theme over at The Sweet Stop Sketch blog. Then upload your project over on The Sweet Stop Sketch blog.
