Hello Beautiful {SSSC221}

Hi there! After last week's little break, the Sweet Sunday Sketch Team is back this weekend with a beautiful sketch! Make sure you head over to Karen's Blog for all of the sketch details. I hope you take some time to play along!

I took this week's sketch and flipped it horizontally. I used Simply Fabulous Sayings, Plaid Background Builder, Pinstripe Background, and Linen Background, all from My Favorite Things.

Here is my card:


I stamped the Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose with the Linen Background. Oh, and see the checked pattern on the top right? That was done with the Pinstripe Background. I stamped it once and then turned the stamp so the stripes would stamp the opposite way and that's the pattern I got! LOVE!


Here is a picture of the finished inside.


Here is this week's sketch:

MFT May Creative Challenge - Creating for the Men in Your Life

Hi there everyone! It's time for the May Creative Challenge from My Favorite Things! This month the design team was challenged to create for the men in our lives. Masculine is very hard for me, so this was a challenge! Make sure to head on over to the MFT Blog for a link to each participating designer.

I have two cards to share with you today. This first card uses the Go Overboard stamp set, along with the Let's Get Nautical Die-namics, Grid Background, Pinstripe Background, and the new Rectangle Frames Die-namics. The colors I used on this card are Whip Cream, Nightshift Navy, Olive, Brick Red, and Natural.

Here is my card:

I'd Be Floundering Without You {SSSC220}

Hi there! It's time for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch! I know I say this every week, but I LOVE this week's sketch! I hope you get the chance to play along.

My husband and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary on Mother's Day and I used this sketch to make his anniversary card. I used some fun new goodies from My Favorite Things: You're Fin-tastic, Fishbowl Die-namics, Horizontal Stitched Strips, Linen Background, and Pinstripe Background (on the flounders). The colors I used are Sweet Tooth, Berrylicious, and Orange Fizz. The sentiment was stamped in Black Licorice Hybrid Ink.

Here is my card:
