You're so sweet!

Hello! It's Saturday so that means it's time for another great sketch from The Sweet Stop! It's also the 3rd Saturday of the month so that means that it's sketch with a spin time. This months spin is Movie or Book inspired. I was a little stumped at first but then i got to thinking about a book that my boys liked when they were little "If you give a mouse a cookie" and there just happens to be a perfect Cocoa image to fit that story!

My card is also for one of the HYCCT challenges over on SCS, for kids sake. Hope it brings a smile to someones face! Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!

Hello!  Today's card uses the ever adorable Cocoa Mouse from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I used a past Sweet Stop sketch, love this layout and will be using it again I'm sure.

Pamper Me

Hello! Today I have a newly released digi from Sweet n Sassy Stamps to share with you! Cocoa now has a girlfriend, her name is Cookie!! Isn't she adorable??

The main image is raised up with foam tape. I added some Glossy accents to the nail polish bottle and the lip stick, it really makes them pop! I took a paper doily and cut it in half and folded it to make a fan. Added a feather behind it that I found in my scraps box. Took my bow easy and made a triple bow to add to the top and finshed it off with a button from my stash. This card is 5 1/2 x 5 3/4. I couldn't get all my stuff to fit on a A2 size card! Making these bigger cards is kinda fun though.

I left my bottom right corner empty for now..... I'd like to add a sentiment but not sure what I want to put?? Any ideas?? I'm thinking this would be a good card to use for a birthday. Just add a gift certificate for a manicure/pedicure and you have the perfect gift! I'm thinking then I could maybe add a "Pamper Me" sentiment?? Any other suggestions??
