Hope you Hugged a Veteran Yesterday! 8-)

Hi All! And a Very Happy Tuesday to you! I am back today with a Super Quick Post hat I meant to put it up Yesterday!! But have been a bit under the weather, and ended up bundled up on the couch with a big bowl of Home made chili and watched all kinds of military movies with my Darling Hubby, a retired Marine.. And as the saying goes, "Once a Marine, Always a Marine!" lol And completely forgot to do my post for the Card I made for him For Veteran's Day.. 8-) 

I kept it pretty simple, more so than I usually do, but My DH has always advised me that when it comes to cards for Guys, less is more.. lol 8-) And even though I still feel like I need to add something more to this card, He absolutely Loved it.. So as long as it made his day, I am a happy camper! lol 8-)
For my Hubby's card I dug out my Verve American Hero set  and stamped my sentiment focal panel with Memento Tuxedo Black. I cut it out with the help of my Classic Squares Nesties set and added a touch of shading with Antique Linen Distress ink while the die was still in place, colored in the stars with a gold metallic gel pen, ( It actually looks more like gold IRL..lol.) and popped it up with a bit of foam tape.  My mats and BG layers were created with kraft CS from my stash and some Fun Patriotic dp's from K&Co's Americana Stack.  And to finish it all up, I added some hemp twine and a Marine appropriate dimensional sticker from K& Co.  Pretty easy peasy, huh?... 8-)

Hope you all had Terrific Veteran's Day and are having a Super Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by! 8-) 

Happy Dad's Day - TT100

Hi all! And a Very Happy Tuesday to you! Hope you all had a Wonderful weekend and are enjoying a Terrific week so far! 8-) Today I'm back with another Fabulous Tuesday Throwdown Challenge!

I was thrilled to get to play with Dude Time Doodles Fun Hammock Harold image! I printed out good old Harold onto Flourishes Classic White and colored him up with my trusty Copics. I cut him out with the help of my Classic Rectangles Nesties and popped him up with a bit of foam tape.  My mats and BG layers were created with various dp's from MME's Good Day Sunshine ( Boy) collection. And to finish it all up, I stamped my Verve Sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black onto a layered Lil' Inker Designs die cut cloud. Oh, and the Sketch is an older Sweet Sunday sketch, SSSC157. 8-)

Hope you all have a Fantastic day & thanks so much for stopping in! 

Sky's the Limit!

Hi all and a very Happy Saturday to you! Today I am back with another Fabulous Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge! Yay!  I had a bit of a creative block with this one.. lol.. Couldn't for the life of me decide what I wanted to do with this weeks sketch, so it sat on my crafting table for quite a while..Then one evening, earlier this week, I was passing through my crafts room and glanced at my crafting table which was seriously cluttered with the remnants of various finished projects I had not put away yet, lol..And amongst the mess, was a single image, of a hot air balloon.. and Bingo! I knew exactly what to do with our Sweet Stop Sketch! 8-)  Funny where our ideas come from sometimes..8-) So without further delay, here's the Sweet Stop Sketch #119 for this week:

And here's my take on it.. I stuck pretty much with Korin's Awesome sketch.. Didn't change a thing, unless you count my images rising out of their two little square panels.. 8-)

Well I stamped my Fun Hot air Balloons from Verve's Up, up and Away set onto Flourishes Classic White  with Memento Tuxedo Black. I did a little paper piecing using some Darling dp's from the Stella & Rose "Mabel" collection from MME that I also used for my two long rectangular BG panels too, and added a bit of coloring and shading with my trusty Copics and a touch of Antique Linen Distress Ink.  I matted everything up with the help of my Classic Squares and Scalloped Squares Nesties and some kraft CS from my stash. I created my Big fluffy clouds  BG using a fab cloud template from Bev Rochester ( that my Wonderful SRU team mate Marilyn Scheller shared with me), Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and a small stenciling brush... And to finish it all up, I popped up my Darling images with some dimensionals, stamped my Lil' Inkers Sentiment using Memento Rich Cocoa onto my lower image panel and added a bit of yummy aqua bakers twine from MAD Stamper Finds... Pretty easy peasy, huh? 8-)..

I Sure hope you can play along with us, can't wait to see your take on this weeks sketch! And please, make sure to stop by and take a peek at the rest of the Sweet Stop Sugar Babies Fabulous creations!
