SugarPea Designs Sugar Sketch Challenge SPDSS09

Good morning sweeties!  We are starting a new sketch challenge today over on the SugarPea Designs Blog. 

I used Pure Magic from the Sugar Snap Collection.  Isn't he a cutie?  And of course there are great sentiments in the set too!  I colored the image with copics and added some sparkle on the stars and wand. You can find this adorable stamp set in the SugarPea Designs Shoppe. 

Our rules are very simple:

* Play along with any stamp you like - but if you use SugarPea Designs, we'll top your voucher up to $15!
* Feel free to rotate/flip the sketch, or exchange any shapes for what works with your design, just make sure the sketch is recognizable!

Celebrate

Happy Saturday friends!  I hope you're all enjoying the weekend.  Today's card features a sweet little image from By LORi Designs.

This cute girl is Lollipop Saylor.  I colored her with my copics and colored pencils and then I added some sequins for sparkle.  The layout is the current sketch challenge over on the Sketch N Stash Challenge Blog.

I'm off to celebrate my grandson's birthday today.  That's right ... I get to spend the day with a group of little boys hyped up on sugar lol!  But I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Thanks for stopping by.

Friendship is the Sweetest Flower

Good evening everyone!  I don't usually post so late in the day but my computer has been making my life difficult ... unfortunately, I think it is dying a slow death.  I've been trying to nurse it along because I really don't want to fork out a bunch of $$$ for a new one but I think I'm just going to have to go 'puter shopping this week.  Anyway, you didn't stop by to listen to me whine, did ya?  So let me share a new card with you.

This image is from the Love You Bunches stamp set by SugarPea Designs.  I often find myself reaching for this set because of all the great sentiments that are included.  I colored this sweetie with copics and cut her out using a stitched circle die.  Some twine, punched flowers, and pearls finished off my card.

Here's a photo of the entire stamp set.  Like I said, this set is so versatile and I love the sentiments! 

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Anita
