Masculine Sweet Stop

This weeks Sweet Stop Sketch (SSS56) is a sketch with a spin - For the Guys.  When I sat down to make my card I realized how few guy images I own!  I went shopping at Sweet n Sassy digi's and found the perfect image - Golf Tee!



The image is printed onto bella's bestest paper & coloured with copics.  I added some green and brown dirt on the club and ball, because they never stay clean for an entire round of golf!!  The golf ball popped up and I added a light coat of with a clear glaze pen.

The ds paper is My Minds Eye Abbey Road layered prisma paper & I added some pumpkin ribbon and paper pierced around the edges.

Please stop by the Sweet Stop Blog to see what the rest of the Sugar Babies have created & I hope you can play along with our sketch with a spin!

Have a fantastic weekend

Colour Coded Bellariffic

Wohoo it's Friday & the forecast is for nice weather this weekend!!  I am soooo excited we are golfing tomorrow for the 1st time this season (at home)


Today's Bellariffic Friday challenge was a colour challenge - soft pink, celery green & chocolate chip.  I decided to play along with the Mojo sketch this week (MOJO 138).  Based on our colours I went with a girl image - sweet Gratty 'tude.

The image is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper & coloured with copics.  I used green micro fine glitter for the centres of the flowers, and star dust stickles on the hearts.  On the polka dots on her dress I used a pitch black glaze pen.

The ds paper is My Minds Eye Quite Contrary layered on chocolate chip paper and celery cs.  I added some bella bon bons in cotton candy on the ribbon; both 5mm & 7mm.

Bellariffic Fridays will be posted on Monday (Em is away today) but we have next week's challenge for you - this amazing sketch from Jeanibella!!  Submitt your cards to Em by Thursday to be included in the round up 

Thanks so much for stopping by & have a fantastic day!

Kraft Sweet Sketch

Happy Tuesday - I am so excited the sun is shining here & there is no snow in the forecast!!  It's actually suppose to be hot for the weekend!!

Today I managed to combine 2 challenges in 1 card (love it when I can do that!)  First I used this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch (SSSC68) and I also played along with Jeaniebella's (the Spotted Chick) Krafty Thursday Challenge (TKT25) !!  I must say I never grab kraft paper so this was a great challenge.



I bought this Stampavie image by Penny Johnson last week when I was at my LSS simply because of the amazing sample they had.  Funny thing about this image is it's so not my style; heck I am so allergic to any shedding dog now that after being at a friends last night I need some heavy duty drugs (and am still a bit fuzzy!)

The image is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest cream paper & coloured with copics.  I used a clear glaze pen on her boots & purse & added some clear Taylor's Tiny Twinkles.  Instead of mounting the image I inked the edges with versa magic wheat chalk ink.  The ds paper is Basic Greys Cappella which worked perfectly with the Kraft ink.

Thanks for stopping by - I hope you have a fantastic day

Izzie has a Brelly

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mother's out there!!  Today we had a wee bit of snow in the  morning (I know, how crazy is that) but now they say we will finally get rain so I decided to ink up Izzie has a brelly in honour of rain not snow being in our forecast!


I used Taylor's Sketch Challenge from Friday (TESC112) and stamped Izzie on bella's bestest paper and coloured her with copics.  For the stripes in her jacket I used a purple atyou spica pen, and on the polka dots I used a pitch black atyou spica pen.  For her shoes I used a black glaze pen.

The ds paper is basic greys kioshi layered on perfect plum.  I embossed the pale plum cs with cuttlebugs swiss dots and paper pierced around the layers.  I added some tiny prima flowers, took the centres off that they had and added some tiny yellow rhinestones.

Don't forget this weeks Bellariffic Fridays challenge is a colour challenge - Soft Pink, Celery Green & Chocolate!  Email Em your entries by Thursday to be included on Friday & you could win bellabucks!

Thanks for stopping by

A Sweet Stop Sketch & Birthday Wishes

Today it's my friend Janet's Birthday so a few of us decided to celebrate her day with a little birthday blog hop.  If you came here from Joan's blog you are in the right place; if you just stumbled on our hop then click here to go to the start at Karen's blog.

It's Saturday so that means it also time for the Sweet Stop Sketch (SSS55) & this weeks was fantastic (as usual!!)  I wanted to do something with music since Janet loves metal rock; I must admit I didn't have any rocker images so I went with Chelsea from the Greeting Farms Wild Sprouts collection; at least she's listening to music!!


Chelsea is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.   The ds paper is basic grey's Indian summer.  The border punch is from SU and I added some of Taylors Tiny Twinkles along the edge.

The next stop on the birthday blog hop is Mary, Happy Birthday Janet I hope you have a fantastic day & enjoyed you hop your card really is in the mail, but no chance it will be there on time but I know you aren't shocked by that!!

Please stop by the Sweet Stop Blog to see what the other Sugar Babies have created and I hope you can play along with us this week.

Thanks for stopping by,

Dana

Flowery Bellariffic

Yeah it's Friday & time for Bellariffic Fridays!!  Today's challenge was to use flowers, which was fun to use since it's been snowing here in Calgary - at least I could see flowers someplace!


I went through my bindah's and found a long neglected flowahbella.  I used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch (MOJO138) and stamped the image onto bella's bestest paper and coloured the image with copics.  The DS paper is basic grey's Kioshi layered on pale plum and perfect plum.  I used apple micro fine glitter & black micro fine glitter on the centre of the flowers on the panel.  For the centres of the flowers in the pot I used glamour dust glitter

Make sure you stop by Bloggabella today to see all the sistah's creations and next weeks Bellariffic Fridays is a colour challenge - Soft Pink, Celery Green & Chocolate Chip.  Email your cards to Em by Thursday to be a part of the gallery & remember you can win bellabucks!

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by

Chasing Butterflies

Happy Saturday - it's time for another Sweet Stop Sketch (SSS54) I hope you can play along with us this week!


I have had this sweet Pure Innocence stamp waiting to be used & with the snow and awful weather we've had this past week I wanted to do something that made me think of spring!
Sunshiny Day is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest cream paper & coloured with copics. On the hearts I used a fushia atyou spica pen.

The DS paper is My Minds Eye Quite Contrary (shocking I know) layered on SU Rich Razzleberry, I also used the rich razzleberry ribbon. I added some glamour dust glitter to the clouds, and stardust stickles to the butterflies
