Eskimo Kisses

Happy Tuesday! It's my last post as a Guest Designer for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps' and I want to say a huge thank you to Korin for having me! I have a ton of fun playing with SNSS's beautiful stamps and today is no exception.

I used an adorable stamp set, Eskimo Kisses and last Saturday's sketch from The Sweet Stop - perfect combo!!

The colors were taken from this pretty paper from SEI.  For the background burgundy paper I did a faux letterpress technique on it using the Spellbinders snowflake texture plate.  I coated it with white ink first and then ran it through my Cuttlebug.  Once it came out I sprinkled it with Iridescent embossing powder to give it some shine!  I wish you could see more of it around the side, it looks really neat!  Oh and a bit of Fun Flock around the trim of the jackets just adds a bit of fun!

Thank you everyone for visiting and hanging out with me this month!! It went so fast but was tons of fun!  Come visit my blog anytime and say hi!  :)  Have a great day!

Fall Mums

Happy Tuesday my Sweet 'n Sassy friends!!  Last week SNSS released a bunch of great new digi stamps, one being November Chrysanthemum which I've used today.  A quick Google for chrysanthemums turned up some beautiful Fall colored mums, I especially love the variegated variety!

So for my card today I used a great CAS layout and had some fun coloring with Copics. I love the mixture of yellows and reds, it just screams Fall!

 
One of the beauties of these digi stamps is that you have instant gratification!  See an image you like?  Just add to your cart, check out and download it almost instantly - love that!!

Check out all of the beautiful flower digi stamps at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and have some fun coloring today! :)

October Guest Designers

Hey...how did it get to be October? Is it just me or did September just fly by!! Well some of us might not be ready for colder weather but I'm definitely ready to announce our October guest designers and I couldn't be more excited!! But first...please join me in thanking our September guests, Andrea Vernagus and Melissa Craig . Ladies, thank you so much for your contribution to our team this month! We have so enjoyed seeing your work!!

And now on to the October guests! I am thrilled to announce that we have former design team member Sandy Domelle and former Sweet Stop design team member Julie Masse joining us! Both of these ladies are amazingly talented and I can't wait to see what they come up with this month! Here's a little more about both of these ladies...

Sandy Domelle - I am a born-again Christian wife and mother. Stamping is the hobby I enjoy doing in my spare time. It encourages me to pray and think about the person I am making the card for. Often I include Scripture on my cards to encourage and uplift someones day. I love to send cards to missionaries, shut-ins, those who are sick, and of course, family and friends. Stamping is not only a hobby but a passion to share the love of Jesus with those I love and care about.

Julie Masse - My professional background is in the legal field but now I am a SAHM of 5 in Southern Maine. I love being at home with my family and I love stamping! I've been blessed to be on a number of design teams over the years. I'm currently on the Kitchen Sink Stamps, Tiffany Doodles, and SALT challenge blog design teams and was previously on the Paper Pretties and Say-it-With Letters teams. I'm also the co-founder of Stamping Around, a brand new stamping event planning business.

Please join me in welcoming these ladies to the team this month!
