Groovy...

This week has totally flown by!  We are counting down the days till Spring Break!  Do you have anything fun planned?  Not sure what we are going to do here yet, but I am thinking up some fun things to keep the kiddos busy!  

Retro Sketches has a new sketch today.  It is based off of one of my older cards that you can see HERE.  Here is my take on this card sketch...

My friend Jen recently designed this AMAZING embossing plate so I had to pull that out and use it for the first time!  I ran it through with some patterned paper and used the plain side.  I took some sanding paper and sanded a little so the white core would show through.  I layered it up with some matching patterned paper and then a fun sentiment from Surely Goodness, a new set from Verve!

Here is this week's sketch...

Stop over to the Retro Sketch blog to see what the girls created for today.  I hope you get to play along too!  Thanks for stopping in!

Thinking of you...

I am so excited to be a guest over at Neat and Tangled this month!  This latest Neat and Tangled Releases is one of my favorites so far!  On the Strip 2 and Just Thinking of you?  Fabulous!  I have a card today to share, combining the 2 sets...



When I saw that woodgrain strip, I saw a wood background staring at me!  I stamped it several times on kraft card stock and the cut the strips out with my paper trimmer. Then I inked up the edges to give it more of a rustic look.  I added in the word bubble and a heart for some color.  

I've said it several time before but I love the font in Danielle's sets!  Gorgeous!  Here is my request for a Neat and Tangled Sentiment set all in that gorgeous handwriting of yours, Danielle!  :)

Thanks so much for having me today!  Thanks for stopping in to take a peak!  Have a great Friday!

Sweet Stamp Shop Release...

Are you loving this chalkboard trend that is so popular right now? Then you are going to love the stamps I have to share today!  I am so excited to be here today among a line up of fabulous guest designers over at Sweet Stamp Shop.  Nicole has 2 adorable sets to share today, Kiss Me and Chalkboard Sign.  

The first card showcases an image from Chalkboard Sign....

I simply stamped the image using white ink on black card stock.  Then I matted it with some fun chevron paper and attached it to a kraft base.  

This next card uses the most adorable arrow image from Chalkboard Sign and the heart from Kiss me....

I cut out the target border with my Cameo and then stamped the arrows inside.  I stamped the heart in red ink, onto red card stock and cut that out, popping it up with foam tape for some dimension.  

I have had some sneak peeks at some other amazing cards so you should stop over and check them out too!  Click HERE to go straight to the Sweet Stamp Shop blog!  :)

Thanks for stopping in today!
