Hello! Wow it's been awhile since I've posted, had some things come up and I took a little longer break than planned. Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

It's time for the sneak peeks to start for Paper and Such's Jan release. On Jan 9th we will have a blog hop and full set reveals and the stamps will be available in the Paper and Such online store. I used the new Wild Rose set for my card today. With this set you have the option to color like I did or there is a 2 step stamp for the flowers if you'd rather not color. I like the font on this set it has a Wild West kinda look. Well i think thats all for today, I'll be back tomorrow with the first Sweet Stop sketch of the new year. Thanks for stopping by!

Butterfly Wishes

Hello! It's the 3rd Saturday of the Month so that means it's time for Sketch with a spin this week at The Sweet Stop! This weeks spin is chipboard. I used a chipboard button and added some pretty ribbon and a bow. I needed a break from Fall/Christmas cards so I dug out a Penny Black stamp to play with. I just love these little hedgehogs! I think while I have this paper out I'll have to make a second card. Make sure you stop by and check out what the other Sugar Babies have created.

CAS Christmas cards

Hello! Can you believe that Christmas is almost here and the year is almost over??!! I sure can't. This week the challenge at Paper and Such is Last minute Christmas cards. I know I am still working on mine! This will be our last challenge for the year, we'll start back up on Jan 10. Today I used the Swirly Trees set which is great for quick and easy cards! I just stamped the image and colored a little with my prisma pencil. Added some stickles and a few rhinestones an called it done. The prize this round is the adorable Snow Folks set.

Warm Winter Wishes

Hello! I've been seeing these cute little coffee cup shaped gift tags all over the place and thought why not make a full A2 card size cup??!! I even made it so that you can tuck a giftcard inside. It doesn't show up in the picture but I took my scor-pal and embossed a lip on the lid of the cup just above the decorative edge. I'm not a coffee drinker myself so my cup would be filled with hot tea or cocoa!! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
