Hello


TGIF Peeps!!
Hope you all have had a great week, it has been non stop rain and gloom here in southwest MO all week.  So I thought I would try and chase away some of the gloom with a bright sun shiney card.
I hear that yellow and gray is a hot color combo right now and I can certainly understand why after working with them.
I wanted to use some of the new and coming to customers in April, "Summer Smooches" products. I finally dove into the Designer Paper and Daffodil Delight seam binding ribbon.
The base of the card is Basic Gray card stock and then I added pretty piece of DSP.
I then used another piece of basic gray card stock that I had embossed with the dots folder.


The stamp is from the "Just Believe" stamp set from Stampin' Up. I stamped it with Basic Gray ink onto the  whisper white card stock.
I then used my Boho Blossom punch and punched a few flowers with some daffodil delight card stock.
the smallest flower at the top is made with one of the punches from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack. I "cupped" all the flowers by using my mat pack and stylus. Lay the punched flower onto the foam piece from the mat pack and using your stylus make small circles in the middle of the flower which makes the flower curl up a bit.
I added the flowers to the card using my tombow glue. I then added a pearl to each flower center.
The sentiment comes from the SAB Elementary Elegance stamp set.  I used the 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/8 inch circle punches to make the circle sentiment piece. I added a row of pearls under the sentiment and some pearls to the corners.
Thanks for stopping by today and 
HAPPY STAMPING!!!

SSSC80.......For All You Do




GOOD SUNDAY MORNING PEEPS!!! It's my favorite time of the week, time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Sample

Here is the fabulous sketch Karen has for us this week:





OK I have to admit I am slow to get on the bandwagon of the vintage/distress trend, I really have trouble with the whole distress thingy, it goes against the grain for me, I am a clean, crisp and layers type girl. I LOVE all the vintage I am seeing, I just don't do it so well.

This card is a 5 inch square and the base is made with crumb cake card stock and then I followed that up with real red. The next layer is more crumb cake and I distressed this layer with my distressing tool. I used the stamp set, Just Believe and For All You Do. I inked up the flower with my markers and stamped onto whisper white, I used the spiral edge punch on each white piece. I sponge with my crumb cake ink pad and distressed and ripped and folded. The two side pieces are stamped with sentiments from the For All You Do Stamp set. I added a bow, some red brads and a mini library clip.


I hope you can find some time to play along with us this week, I would love to see what you come up with, create a card or scrapbook page with this sketch and then go to Karen's blog and link up your project for all of us to see.
