Another Sweet and Sassy 2 sketch 4 you

So I thought since I would use another Sweet and Sassy stamp set -- Owl Occasions and do the other sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You. Here is the sketch......




I decided to make the square on the front a window. And thought it would be cute to only see the owl's eyes through it. Since I wanted to use the Guess Hoo sentiment on the front.




And then the inside has the rest of the sentiment. Fun, card, but I keep thinking it needs something, I am too tired to do any more today though. Here is the inside of the card.




So there you have it -- My Sweet and Sassy sketch type of day has come to an end -- Goodnight!

New Stamps, New Blog, New Card!

That is a lot of new things! I don't know if you noticed the new item on my side bar -- the 2 sketches 4 you button. This is the new blog I am talking about. They are going to sketch 2 sketches each week and you have the week to play along. You all know I love sketch challenges and although I usually don't get to most of them --there are tons, I am thinking I will try to focus on one of these each week. So that is the New Blog. As far as new stamps --I actually just got a few from different companies. Fist off is a few new sets from Sweet and Sassy Stamps. This set is called the Bee Happy -- don't you love that daisy? Daisies are my all time favorite flower they are so simple and beautiful. So that is the new stamps and now for the new card.......





and the sketch I was using for the card.....





Stamps: Be Happy Sweet and Sassy Stamps
Paper: Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Whisper White and Basic Black card stock and celery prints dp.

I hope to get to the other sketch later today -- if I can find time, busy day.

Pez-A-Doodle release day is here.

I thought it was appropiate to show two more cards with these sets today since it is the big release day! Congratulations Marti. You can purchase your stamps from Pez-A-Doodle Designs.


This first card is created using the Sketch for you to try on Jen's Blog from May 24th -- just a bit late. It is using the Butterflies a Flutter stamp from the Scrolly Bugs set.



Next was a card to use up the scraps that were left on my table. It uses the Harlequin Flowers from the Backgrounds set. I matched it up with paper and rubons from Stampin Up!


And last but not least is a sketch card done by Marti for my Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge. You can see that at her blog....

Best of luck to you Marti with you new line of stamps!

The elegance of Black and White

Blogger's Challenge #50

Today's challenge was to use black and white. I so love the look of these colors together. I think it is so elegant looking. My card went together really fast today!




I started with a black base and then added a layer of Whisper White. I used my cuttlebug embossing folder to add dots to the top and bottom of the white. Next I used my scor-pal to add lines to separate the plain white part from the embossed white part. I added some rubons to add a bit more of a separation. The medallions are from the BoHo Backgrounds set and they are embossed in detail black power and then punched out with the 1 and 1/2 inch circle punch. Two are layered on the scallop circle punch and one is on the Nestabilites scallop circle with added dots from my white gel pen. This one is also popped up. They all have white brads in the center. As a finishing touch I added the word Thank You from a rub on and four half pearls from the Pretties kit! I am really happy with the results.

Pez-A-Doodle is release only days away.

The release of these new Pez-A-Doodle stamps is coming up fast. You will be able to purchase them on Saturday. Since tomorrow is my blogger's challenge day I thought I would give you a few more sneak peeks today and then the last two cards with these stamps {that I have made already, not forever} will be uploaded on Saturday. You can look at these previous posts to see other samples that you may have missed. Click here, here and here These stamps are certainly different than any I have worked with before -- so fun.

This first card is using the Scrollybugs set. I stamped the image twice, once on Whisper White and once on velum. I then cut out the center part of the Whisper White one and layered it over the velum one. I stamped the words Happy Hello underneath so it would show through. This is one of those cards that you may have to click on to be able to see the details.



This next card is using the backgrounds stamp set. This stamp is just so pretty. I has such a delicate pattern of flowers. And I love it matched up with the My Dear, Kind and Wonderful Friend stamp from Stampin Up! Simple but elegant card.
