Sweet Sunday Sketch #194 - Merriest Christmas Wishes to you!

Hello!!.. I'd love to say Happy Sunday, but it's not!!...My apologies for the lateness of my Sweet Sunday Sketch post. It's been a challenging couple of months here, with a few little, niggley health issues, and while I'm still trying to get on top of them, I shall not let them rain of my stampin' parade!!!.

So, although late, here is my card for this fortnights sketch challenge:-

And here is the sketch for you to follow along with, if you haven't already:-

I had fun with this one and even rebelled a tad and flipped the sketch! I know.. such a rebel, right!?  I decided to keep on a Christmas card roll, and create another to add to my stash. I've used Crumb Cake and CHerry Cobbler as my main colour combo and added some Old Olive in the form of Markers and Washi Tape!. I also used some of the GORGEOUS Burlap Ribbon (LOVE) and the stamp set is Tag It!, oooh and a little bit of Gorgeous Grunge in the background... did you see it there!?

Sweet Sunday Sketch #193

Happy Sunday!!. It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch, I hope you'll be able to join in on the fun!.

Earlier this week a had a large brown SU! box delivered on my doorstep! Unfortunately, my little girls has be VERY unwell this week, so I've only today, managed to open it up and play with some of it's delightful contents.

Here is my card for today's sketch:-

And here is a copy of the sketch so you can play along:-

I've decided to get a start on some Christmas Cards :D. I've used Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and some DSP from the Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack, which is available in the current Seasonal Catalogue. Also, some of the delightful Cherry Cobbler Ribbon (also in the Seasonal Catalogue AND a SERIOUSLY GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS Frosted Finishes Embellishment... SERIOUSLY GORGEOUS!!!

The sentiment is from the Merry Little Christmas stamp set, YEP, you guessed it, from the New Seasonal Catalogue, and I've embossed that in Black Embossing Powder. I think I would've preferred it in perhaps Silver or Espresso, but I don't have those YET... I think I'll have to get some :D

Sweet Sunday Sketch #192

Hello!!! I'm just going to get straight into it today... my Sweet Sunday Sketch post is a tad late, so here it is for you to enjoy :-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

The base of the card is Pool Party with some gorgeous Raspberry Ripple and a piece of DSP from the Birthday Basic pack. I inked up my Really Good Greetings stamp set and embossed that in Pool Party embossing powder and added some balloons from one of the images in the Tag It stamp set, which I coloured with my Stampin' Write Markers in Raspberry Ripple, Gumball Green and Bermuda Bay. The sentiment is from Sketched Birthday and again I embossed that one, this time in Black embossing powder. I've also used some Washi Tape from the This and That range and a piece of fabulous Natural Trim Ribbon and a Hung Up clip!

Sweet Sunday Sketch #191

Hello!!!!... Firstly, let me apologise for my low profile of sorts of late. My beautiful little family and I have all been fighting a few nasty bugs for the past few weeks and they've left us all doing pretty much nothing but trying to recover fully. I think I can safely say, that we are well and truly back to normal... well almost! NOW... it's Sunday!! Which means... it's Sweet Sunday Sketch time!!.. I've missed playing with my gorgeous Sweet Sunday Stampers.

Here is my card for this weeks sketch:-

 

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've used some of the NEW In-Colors for this card... I have to say, they could quite possibly be my most favourite In-Color, colours!. Strawberry Slush, Costal Cabana and Crisp Cantaloupe are the colours I've used. The stamp set I used is Yippee-Skippee, and I've LOVED this saying since the millisecond I saw it at the South Pacific Convention in May. It ALWAYS makes me smile!! I've used my Stampin' Write Markers to colour the image. I've added some Silver Glimmer Paper, Victoria Crochet Trim and some Strawberry Slush Ruffled ribbon as well as a Designer Vintage Faceted button with some White Bakers Twine which I coloured Strawberry Slush!! Oooh... I added some yummy Vanilla Smooch Spritz too.... because everything is better with sparkles, right!?

One more thing before I go.... next Saturday ( 24th August) I have the pleasure of presenting at the Perth leg of the Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio - Make a Statement Tour!! If you live in the Perth area I'd LOVE to see you there. It's going to be an awesome day ( what Stampin' Up! event isn't awesome!!) and if you'd like to come pop on over here and register! All  the details are there and for the teeny, tiny registration fee of $35 (which includes the MDS software!!!) you can see first hand just how exciting a SU! event is!!! Oh, and I'd LOVE to see you too!

Sweet Sunday Sketch #188

Happy Sunday!!! It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch, so I hope you can join US and of course our BRAND NEW Sweet Sunday Stamper Sisters'!!

I actually had heaps of fun putting this card together. It's the first time I've had a chance to sit down and my stampin' desk and create something with my NEW goodies, AND... I can't wait to sit down again soon and do more.

Here is my card for today's sketch:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

When I went to Convention (back in May!), all the attendees were lucky enough to receive this stamp set ' Really Good Greetings'. I absolutely adore it and am so pleased with how this turned out.

I've used some of the new and GORGEOUS colours... Crisp Cantaloupe, Baked Brown Sugar and Costal Cabana ( and thanks to an equally gorgeous stampin' sister, everytime I type, think or use Costal Cabana, I burst into song!!!.. AND now it would be quite likely, you are too!! ;-).

I've also used my Polka Dot embossing folder, my  Fancy Fan embossing folder, Delicate Designs embossing folder and Needlepoint Border embossing folder ... Goodness! The Large Scallop Edgelit got a little play too.

One of the GORGEOUS Designer Very Vintage buttons adorns the bottom of the greeting also.
