Sweet Sunday Charlie by the Chimney

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC219.

So I know the title of my post has Christmas in it, but first let me wish all the moms out there Happy Mother's Day! I hope your day is full of love and joy, with plenty of time for you.

In celebration of Mother's Day, I made a Christmas card! Ha!! This is card #5 for Project Christmas 2014.

I used the super fun Uptown Girl Charlie waits by the Chimney from Stamping Bella. She was so much fun to colour up using my copic markers. I added sparkle to her skirt with some glitter and I gave her an appletini while she waits by the chimney.

The image panel is mounted on foam tape for a little dimension. I didn't add any other details because I think this image stands out nicely just as it is.

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 Celebrate You

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC218.

There are a couple of tilted panels in this week's sketch for those of you who like that kinda thing. I ended up straightening them just a little because I have a hard time with tilted panels. Shhhh. Please don't tell anyone! ;-)

I used the adorable Pure Innocence Birthday Girl from My Favorite Things. Here dress just begs to be paper pieced so I used the Basic Grey Kneehighs collection. Her dress looked so good paper pieced that I decided to paper piece the balloon too. And I added some sparkle to the balloon using my clear Wink of Stella pen. I popped her on foam tape for a little dimension.

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.

Mom

Happy Friday!!!

I needed another Mother's Day card (one for my mom and one for hubby's mom) and when I saw this week's MFT Wednesday Stamp Club sketch 174 I knew it was the perfect layout for a quick and easy card.

I love the gorgeous Moroccan background and in black it's so striking. The patterned paper is from the Authentique Renew collection. I used the High-Rise Alphabet to cut out the letters and backed them with black to help them stand out a little more.

Now I need to get this in the mail. Snail mail is so slowwwwww to Canada. Have a fabulous weekend!
