A *Cherry Sweet* blog hop!

Hello! Are you here to for the Caffinated Cropper DT hop? Have you been inspired to either A) pull out your Cherry on Top kit and create? Or B) go BUY a Cherry on Top kit?;) Either way, I hope you LOVE this kit as much as I do! Here's my card for today!

Everything on this card except for the ribbon is from the Cherry on Top kit! Do you see that cork border on the bottom? That sheet of cork comes in the kit! You actually get TWO sheets of cork, to cut however you want! I used my large scallop edge punch by EK Success and created a fun little border!

Here's a close up of the gorgeous sparkly butterflies that come in the kit too!

Etsy Inspired! *2nd post for the day!*

***Please scroll down to see my SFYTT sample! Thank you:)***

Today, the Caffinated Cropper is sponsoring the Etsy Inspired Challenge! Have you ever participated with EIC before? Neither have I, but that's about to change! It was so much fun! This weeks inspiration is coming to you from the Cose Dolci shop!

Here's how you play along:
1. Go to the Cose Dolci store and pick any item to be inspired by (subject matter, colors, layout, anything.) Make a creation.
2. Post a link to your creation on the EtsyInspired #84 post on the EtsyInspired blog by next Friday April 23, noon Pacific time. A winner will be chosen from the people who enter.
3. If you upload to SCS or PCP, please you keyword EIC84. You may enter as many times as you like.
 
This is the picture that inspired me:
As soon as I saw the patchwork done on those squares of fabric, I knew that's what I wanted to do on my card!


All the different 2x2 squares of paper were stictched to the card base, and then I had to cover them up with that big ole' scalloped circle, lol! That wasn't the original plan, but it had to work out that way! I just really wanted to use that cherry tree from the EAD Designs Stickerz you recieve when you buy the "Cherry On Top" kit! EVERYTHING on this card is from the kit except for the Hibiscus Burst ribbon and cardbase (both PTI). The "Cherry Up" sentiment is also from the EAD Stickerz, and I colored it in with a Copic marker to turn it pink, to match the colors of the card! Can you see the red rhinestone cherries? The rhinestones (Kaiser) also come in the kit! In fact, there is so much awesome stuff in this kit, I'll post another picture of the kit for you, in case you haven't seen it yet!

Lots of goodies, right? Man, I have SO much left from this kit and I've already made 3 cards! If you participate in this weeks EIC challenge, and you're chosen as the winner, you could win a MINI Cherry on Top kit! Seriously, how fun is that???????????/

Check out what the other CCDT girls made for today's challenge!

A bowl of Cherries...

Doesn't that sound yummy? I love me some cherries, especially the flathead cherries I used to get back home in Montana...mmmmmm! 

Well, the next best thing to Flathead Cherries is this month's Caffinated Cropper kit, With a Cherry On Top! Buy it HERE! I got mine in the mail today, and as promised, tore into it IMMEDIATELY! Seriously, wow. I am just speechless with all the goodies in this kit, you could may 100 cards with all the stuff in this kit!
The pink and floral paper is the same sheet of paper by Little Yellow Bicycle! LOVE this paper, I think I wanna hoard the rest, lmbo! The only thing on this card NOT in the kit is the card base and the Regal Rose ribbon! That beautiful stamp is so fun! It actually comes with a few more elements and it's all one big ole beautiful stamp but I cut it apart so I can use all the bits and pieces seperately if I want to:) I used to be TERRIFIED of cutting stamps up, but now I am hooked! You can get a lot more mileage out of a stamp set by cutting it apart and using the different images alone or with other images! After I tied my ribbon bow, I added some of the super fun flowers to the bow center, I love how it turned out! 
 
The buttons also come in the kit! Yeah, I adore buttons, can never have to many, EVER! Oh, the twine is from PTI...

If the layout looks familiar, it's this weeks sketch challenge on Splitcoast! Speaking of challenges, Amy has issued a challenge for you if you're interested! Just purchase a "With a Cherry on Top" kit, use it on a card for ANY challenge you find online (sketch challenges count!) and link it up to her post for your chance to WIN! Head on over to Amy's Blog to see the deets:)

Jimmi (April Guest Designer)

Okay, I actually have a card to share with you now, lol! As soon as I saw this weeks Mojo Monday sketch, I was immediately inspired and ran upstairs to create my card! 
A couple of the design elements are askew compared to the sketch, but that's okay! Sketches are kinda like rules, they're meant to be broken, lmbo!! I'm such a rebel!
I got some new paper in the mail today *love happy mail days!* I got Green at Heart by Basic Grey, don't you love it??? I do! I paired it with an orange color by Prism and Ripe Avacado by PTI! The beautimous stamps I used are by Verve! The set is called "Let it Shine" and is one of my favorites from the latest release! This week's Mojo Monday sketch challenge is a CONTEST where you could WIN BIG! So go play along:)

Okay, I think I'm done blabbing for the night! Maybe I blab too much? I've had a rash of people unsubscribing due to "Too many updates" EEEK! My bad, apparently I talk too much, but it ain't fixin' to change, lol!

Have a fabulous day, friends!!!!!
