Sentimental Sundays & a Fundraiser

We are kicking off a new Sentimental Sundays challenge. Since it is the middle of summer and the flowers are in full bloom, we are asking you to use FLOWERS (and a sentiment) on your creations. We have two fabulous sponsors this week, Sweet N Sassy Stamps and Raindrop Echo Designs.

For my projects, I used this adorable digital image from Sweet N Sassy Stamps and a sentiment from one of the sets designed by Ann of Raindrop Echo Designs as a fundraiser being hosted by Kim Sherrod to help out a friend of hers. Below I have copied the wording directly from Kim’s blog explaining the fundraiser.

This is a fundraiser to help my friend out at this time to help her with expenses so she can see her son. He has a heart problem and it's costly for the trip and it's financially difficult for her to travel. Help us to make it possible for her to spend some time with him. She doesn't think he's going to make it and anything will help to ease her burden during this difficult time.

We are so grateful to Ann V. of Raindrop Echo Designs for designing these beautiful stamps to help us with our fundraiser. We are offering these stamps in both digi and clear stamps. We will send you the digi stamps within 24 hours.

The clear stamps are a pre-order item. We have to meet a minimum in order to place the clear stamp order. The minimum is very minimal. The clear stamps are a wonderful quality and we've worked with the stamp manufacturer before.

Your file will come in jpeg and png files.

Thank you for your support :-)

Here is a look at the images that are available either as clear stamps or as digital stamps.

To order these images or to find out more information on the fundraiser, please stop by Kim Sherrod’s blog HERE.

Stop by the Sentimental Sundays blog to see the flower creations from the rest of the DT. While you are there, you can download this week’s free digital sentiment set designed by Ann of Raindrop Echo Designs and link up your Flower + a sentiment creation.

Crazy for Cocoa

Happy Monday! Thank you for all the well wishes last week when I was feeling under the weather. I am feeling much better this week. Unfortunately, it seems like my daughter may have caught it. She stayed home from school today. I hope she is able to kick it quickly.

I saw that there is a new challenge blog dedicated to Sweet N Sassy's Cocoa the mouse. He is a favorite at our house. My daughter just loves him. In fact she got a stuffed animal mouse as a gift and named it Cocoa. Given all that, how could I not make a card for the first challenge? DD was going to make a card too but the lure of the snow outside was stronger than idea of making cards with mom inside. Since she was outside and didn't see this card, I am going to give it to her for Christmas.



Thank you for stopping by today! Have a great week!

Supplies:

  • Stamps: Sweet Cocoa from Sweet N Sassy Stamps, Baby It's Cold Outside from My Favorite Things, Just the Ticket from PaperTrey
  • Papers: Neenah Crest solar white CS, Stampin' Up Real Red CS, October Afternoon Very Merry DP
  • Inks: Stampin' Up Real Red, Close To My Heart Crystal Blue
  • Tools: Stampin' Up edge punch, PaperTrey ticket die, Copic markers

Smiley Snowman

I have a weakness for snowmen and when I saw this image from Sweet 'n Sassy I bought him using the discount from the blog hop earlier this week. If you participated in the hop, you probably saw that members of the DT were hosting 3 special challenges. I made this card specifically for the sketch challenge and the non-traditional Christmas colors challenge. (I really wanted to squeeze the third challenge in too but I just couldn't swing it.)



I had a sketch, I knew what image I wanted to use and I thought it would take me no time at all the get this card done. It's not like there was a lot of coloring to do. I could not have been more wrong. Did you ever have one of those days were every piece of paper you cut was wrong? I certainly did. First it was too small, then it was cut crooked. I used up an entire 12x12 piece of paper making this card because of all my mistakes. Anyhow, I finally finished this card. I don't really like the DP with the embossing, but it's stuck down now. I decided to still share it because not every project can turn out how we envision it.

If you missed the Sweet N Sassy blog hop, you still can see the wonderful creations from the DT starting on the Sweet N Sassy blog. I used the sketch from Janette's blog and the non-traditional Christmas colors challenge from Chrissy's blog.

Thank you for looking!

Challenges:

Supplies:


  • Stamps: Smiley Snowman digital stamp from Sweet N Sassy, Tree Trimming Trio by PTI
  • Papers & CS: American Craft Play Hopscotch, SU Chocolate Chip, GP white CS, misc. pink
  • Inks: SU Chocolate Chip & Close to Cocoa
  • Tools: Big Shot, Provocraft Embossing folder, Fiskars edge punch, Copic markers, sanding block

Spring Chicken

This is my final post on the August Guest Diva Design team for Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps. I really enjoyed working with Sweet 'N Sassy's fun images.

For today, since my birthday was yesterday and I thought the sentiment was spot on, I decided to share this card made with Spring Chicken. Isn't she sassy and fun? I'm afraid to admit I think she has a bit more flair in accessorizing than I do.







Thank you again to Kim and Korin for the wonderful opportunity to be on the Guest DT for Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.

A Gift for Snowman

I am still plugging away at my Christmas cards. I am feeling good that I have gotten them started early this year. I hope to avoid the last minute (panicked) rush that usually occurs each December.

When I started browsing the images from Sweet 'N Sassy after being asked to be part of the Guest Design Diva team, I immediately wanted this image. Isn't he cute? He was fun and so easy to color too. I think he looks great paired up with these vintage looking papers.

Did Somebody Say "Cake"?

I am so excited to be the guest designer on the Card Patterns challenge blog this week.


I have been wanting to use this cute Cocoa the Mouse image from Sweet 'n Sassy for some time and finally printed him out and colored him especially for this sketch.




Isn't he cute? I think he is peeking out looking for a piece of cake. Or maybe it's just that I want a piece of cake.... Hmmm... Cake for breakfast, now that's an idea.
.
Here is a look at this week's sketch. Be sure to link up your creation on the Card Patterns blog.

It's Summertime with Sentimental Sundays

It's summertime and the living is easy..... I love that song. It brings back some fond memories.



The challenge this week on the Sentimental Sundays blog is "Summertime". And to me, one of the hallmarks of summer is a pitcher of fresh squeezed lemonade.






I made this card both for the challenge and for a friend who is going through a bit of a rough patch. The pitcher is covered with a couple of coats of UTEE. The lemon is coated with just one coat in IRL looks a little dimply like a real lemon.


If you like this pitcher of lemonade and the lemon, you can get them from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. 100% of the proceeds from the sales of this digital stamp set go to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). ALSF is committed to finding a cure for all children with cancer. Click HERE to purchase.


The sentiment comes from the Doodle Pantry's Lemon Ants digital stamp set. This set is currently free!

Please join us in the Sentimental Sunday's "Summertime" challenge. Ann will have a new word art freebie posted this week.

Thank you for looking! Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Supplies:

  • Images: Make Lemonade by Sweet 'N Sassy, Lemon Ants by Doodle Pantry
  • Papers & CS: PaperTrey Inc white & kraft CS, My Mind's Eye Where The Heart Is
  • Inks: Versamark (for embossing only)
