Good morning everybody. I hope that you are enjoying your weekend so far. Fall is certainly in the air around here as it's getting a little cooler at night, but I'm waiting for the Indian Summer! Today we have a wonderful sketch for you at The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I used their Pumpkin Patch stamp that was perfect for this sketch. I obviously love to color and this digital stamp had nice big spaces to do just that. How about playing along with us today? We always have great sketches and eye candy by the Sugar Babies. This sketch challenge has always been my favorite and I'm so blessed to be a part of the Sugar Baby Design Team now. It's great! Please share with us your work and share it with everybody else too if you upload to online galleries by using keyword SSS72. We are all looking forward to seeing what you create today! God bless and have a wonderful weekend. Today's Treasure: Isaiah 41.

Good morning everybody and I hope that this is the start of a wonderful weekend for you. Today we have another fabulous sketch at The Sweet Stop that's sponsored by Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps. I've made several cards with this Hot Air Balloon digi stamp because I like it so much and it's extremely versatile. I've used it for a lot of different types of cards. Today's card is a birthday card that will be sent to a dear friend in New York. Why don't you try this sketch out for yourself and see what you can come up with? I really enjoyed making this card! Thank you so much for stopping by today and may the Lord richly bless your day. Today's Treasure: John 6:44-51.
Now for the story making this card: You'd never know that while I was coloring it using Gamsol, I was trying to pour it out of the container with a foam top because I couldn't get the foam top off to put the liquid in my jar that I use. While gently, at least what I thought was gently, the entire 4 ounce jar of Gamsol busted open and splattered everywhere, including saturating my image that I had just colored! I was bummed out. Solvent splattering is not a good thing and I was afraid I'd have to redo my image. Well, nothing really happened to it. There were some spots where the Gamsol didn't splatter so I figured why not make the entire image evenly covered with Gamsol! I wiped some up onto the image and then took it out back to dry, and all was well. My blending stumps are still out back drying and we'll see how that goes.

I usually don't do this for design team work, but this week, I'm going to have to. This card is covering today's The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge by Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps AND for Monday's Paper Maniac Inspirations Blog where our weekly theme is what else? Back to School! The Sweet Stop spin is a back to school card too. The Sugar Babies were provided with the usual great sketch and I think I'm pretty happy with the way this card turned out. I was questioning my mojo with last week's disaster sketch card, that's for sure, but I'm hoping that this week makes up for it. There's a lot of layers to this card and I almost got scrappy on you again without any stamps, but I went through my stuff and found this apple that fit perfectly. What do you think? I hope you like this and I'd like to thank you for stopping by my blog today to see my projects for you. God bless and I'll see you next week with another sassy sketch on Saturday and more Paper Inspirations on Monday. Here's your sketch for today.
