Sweet Sunday Sketch SSSC234

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC234.

I'm still in the midst of a move so I don't have a card for you today (and I won't have one for a few weeks) but I will be posting the sketch each week and linking to the Sweet Sunday Stampers.

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.

Sweet Sunday Namaste

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC232.

I'm in the midst of a move but before I left I made a card for my yoga instructor to thank her for the fun classes. A little time to slow down and stretch each week can really work wonders and I'm going to miss her.

I used the darling Pure Innocence Serenity stamp set from My Favorite Things and I had fun paper piecing her top.

The patterned papers are from the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss collection. This was the first time I'd cut into the pack and I have no idea why it took me so long. I think I'll be using it again soon!

Here are the supplies I used:

Sweet Sunday Birthday

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC231.

This sketch is perfect for so many images but I chose Uptown Girl Posh has a Present from Stamping Bella. I decided to make a square card though since the image is on the larger size.

This card is for one of my very good friends and she loves teal and green so I went with that for the main colours. The patterned papers are from the Echo Park Here and Now collection.

Can you see the sparkle on her dress and the presents? I used three colours of Spica glitter pens.

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.

Sweet Sunday Holly Jolly

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC230.

I made a Christmas card, #8 for Project Christmas 2014. Yay!!!

I chose a collage style paper from Bazzil's Believe collection for the background and let a sentiment from Grand Holiday Greetings take center stage. I stamped it using Paver Red in keeping with the traditional festive colours.

I used my favourite snowflake from Let It Snowflake for the accent, cut from Primitive White. A little bit of bling and some zig zag stitching was all this card needed to finish it off. This one was quick, simple, and it's pretty flat for mailing too! Bonus!!!
