Stamps and Smiles Sketch Challenge SASSC28

Happy Thursday & thanks for stopping by!! Since school starts this coming Monday, the family and I have left for the east coast for a few days. At the last minute we decided to enjoy a little quick getaway, we will be back on Saturday, August 15th. My card for today is for this week’s sketch challenge “SASSC28” for Stamps and Smiles. We warmly invite you to play along.

As you can see by my design, I embossed the background using my embossing templates by Sizzix. For my design I used the stamp set from Stamps and Smiles called Cuppy Love. My inspiration for my layout came from a wonderful color combination from Linsey Rickett. I LOVE these colors together and really think Cuppy looks SO sweet in yellow. For more fun samples from the Design Team, please stop by the Stamps and Smiles blog.

There is no time limit on our challenge, so please play along whenever you are able! However to be eligible for the Stamps and Smiles goodie bag each week, please have your card uploaded the night before at 6 pm central time. Feel free to use your favorite stamps and supplies!

Before I go, I would also like to let all of you know that we are also looking for a few girls to join the OCC Design Team. Please stop by the OCC for more details.

Here is a video of a piece that reminds me that summer is alomst over and fall will soon be here.

Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge

Please enjoy the Michael Jackson video, he will never be forgotten!!

Today’s card is for this week’s challenge over at Our Creative Corner. This week I have challenged the OCC & our readers to a sketch challenge. We warmly invite you to play along, please use your favorite stamps and supplies.

For my design, I used some products from Stampin' Up! The stamp set is called Thoughts and Prayers. The beautiful background paper is also from Stampin' Up! called Parisian Breeze Specialty. Using my Fiskers punch, I added a border on both sides of the background layer and then placed my sentiment on top. Ribbon and flowers were added along with a pearl in the center of each flower. Clean and simple!!

We hope you will join us over at Our Creative Corner. There is no time limit on our challenge, so please play along whenever you are able!! However to be eligible for the Stamps and Smiles giveaway, please have your card uploaded to the OCC blog by Friday, July 3rd before 6 pm central. Have a wonderful weekend & don't forget to stop by the OCC to see the other wonderful samples by the Design Team!!
