Full of Cheer

It's so good to see on this sweet Wednesday. If I may, I'd like to give a birthday shout out to my Mom..."Happy Birthday Mom!!!" And I'd also like to welcome you to another wonderful Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge. This week we are bringing back a blast from the past, a sketch from the early days of SSW. You won't want to miss this one, talk about fun! And our wonderful sponsor this week...

Three cheers for Stamp Fairy!!! If you like adorable, whimsical images, then you'd better check out the store at Stamp Fairy. And owner Gerda is graciously offering 4 FREE DIGIS to our winner!!

The image I used on my card is called Linda Cheerleader (I simply couldn't resist!!). I even used the freebie sentiment that's pictured with this set. A friend of mine just had knee surgery, so I plan on mailing this out to her to "cheer" her up!! Now please check out what the rest of the DT has made because there are some awesome creations out there!!

All Boy

Look at this sketch, isn't it fabulous?!!! It is for Bugaboo Stamps Wacky Wednesday challenge at Paper Craft Planet. I do love sketches!!

And if I may say so, I love the way this turned out! This is how my oldest has looked all summer, not in the camo pants, but definitely the ear buds in and the ipod on!! Would you believe all of these papers came from my scrap bin!!! How fabulous!!! I've been on a rampage of buying new designer papers, so I need to get myself back to using what I've got!!!! It's not easy though, when you must have that paper fix!!!! And you know what I mean!!! Anyway, thanks once again for stopping by. I've been trying really hard to get ahead of the game this week because we leave for vacation on Sunday! Wish me luck!!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!

This is my second post for today. For the Fresh Brewed Designs Blog Hop, please scroll down to HERE.
Happy Monday! And welcome to another gorgeous color challenge at Picture Perfect Creations. We are always thrilled when you join us!!! Look at this awesome combination we have in store...Regal rose, River rock, Real red, and Basic black.

I love these colors! I decided to pull out a hostess set I got that hasn't seen ink before this card!!! The set is called Silhouette Sentiments. I used the flowers from that set but found the actual sentiments to be too small, so I grabbed something by AMuse. My Mom's birthday is Wednesday, so in the mail this goes!!!! Pink is her favorite color and she is fascinated when I sew on my cards - so this is perfect for her!! Now it's your turn to show us what you can do with these colors!!!!!

Fresh Brewed Designs Blog Hop

Welcome to the Fresh Brewed Designs New Digi Blog Hop for July!!!

If you just happened to arrive here, please go back to the start of our hop at Kelly's blog, Sandcastle Stamper.

Now if your are arriving here from Gale's blog, Gale's Playing With Paper (Again), then you are right on track!

What is this hop all about you ask??!!

Sweet Talking!!!

Rich, creamy, chocolaty, fruity, thick, airy, light, sweet and delicious...DESSERT!! Something we all love and crave. Summer time is the perfect time to try ice cream flavors, add fresh fruits to our favorite cakes, pies and cold drinks. You know what I'm talkin' about...and I know your mouth is watering already...because mine sure is!!!

Fresh Brewed Designs has their own special recipe for sweet things and added new ingredients to their already darling Angel Cakes for this image release. Angel Cake loves summer and ice cream and hanging out with her new best friend Huckleberry Pie.

Along this hop you will see Angel, Huck, and some too sweet for words images that have been added to the Fresh Brewed Designs shop.

Now after a busy day of summer timing with good friends and food, Angel Cake needs to relax with a nice long bubble bath! She is definitely a girly girl, so a pink claw foot tub is a must!!!

This "just a little something" is a super delicious banana split! I went a little wild with the ice cream flavors, and only put chocolate sauce on top. I worked in a Dairy Queen as a kid and this is nothin' like the vanilla ice cream with chocolate, strawberries and pineapple toppings I was trained to make!!! Definitely full of yum!!!!

Want a chance to win either of these images and more?!! You will want to hop in full leaving comments on ALL of the blogs in the hop. There is ONE special secret hop stop that is giving away 5 digis of choice!! WOW!!

This hop ends at midnight, so don't wait! HOP NOW!!!

Thank you for your visit, it's time for you to move on to the next sweet stop. Please hop on over to Stacie's blog, Hestia's Helper, and see what delightfully delicious creations she has to share with you today.

Final Day of Our Product Parade

I've had a great time sharing all the wonderful new products that were released this quarter from Clear Dollar Stamps. Today is our final day so let's get started! This stamp set is called Assemble Together. Let me also point out there is a coordinating SVG file for this set, a program that allows your Cricut to do all the cutting work for you! I created a desktop organizer from a PDF I had to hold simple notecards that say "From the Pastor's Desk."

Here is a card using the lovely verse Numbers 6:24-26. I kept it very simple and very soft, so soft that my camera had a very difficult time picking up the colors...it's white and pink pirouette.

If you're a CDS fan, you know Lori always offers a Stamp of the Month set free with required purchase (or it can be purchased out right), and this one is called A Time for Tags. Again I went simple, using up dsp scraps along the way!

My last sample to share if from the set Leaf Hellos. Perfect for a friendly hello!

Thanks again for stopping by for our Product Parade. Be sure and visit Lori's blog, Clearly iStamp for lots and lots and beautiful cards and projects!!!

Just a side note, today is Phillip's birthday...he's 16!!!!!!! YIKES!! Where has the time gone?! He's disappointed that he has to work today...shouldn't it be mandatory to have a day off on your birthday?!! He is so ready for that driver's permit, and after this week of running him around, I must admit, so am I!!!

So Much Fabulousness in One Post

Welcome back to Day 3 of our Product Parade at Clear Dollar Stamps. Grab a cup of tea, sit back, and enjoy.
Let me introduce you to Seasonal Swags. Aren't they stunning?!! Being a Christmas craftin' junkie, I had to use the swag of holly. I started with this tutorial for a 2-5-7-10 box...and as many of you know, I am not a maker of 3D items, but this went together so smoothly, I might have to make more!!! I put my Designer Label Dies to use on this one too.

Now this little guy simply makes me smile. I'd like to introduce you to Berry Happy Hedgehog. Isn't he the sweetest?!

Now we're heading back to school with this one! Surprise, surprise, the stores are stocking up with their school supplies already...shhhh, don't tell my kids! Anyway, this stamp set is called My Little Schoolbus. I love it!

Well if we're talking school, we must get preparing for autumn. Take a look at this sweetie from Squirrel Chatter. Fun and fabulous!!!

All of the new releases this month are simply wonderful. Be sure to check out Lori's blog, Clearly iStamp for even more wonderful inspiration. Tomorrow is our final day of the Product Parade, so see you then!

We Are Celebrating at our Product Parade

Today we are all about celebrations at Clear Dollar Stamps as we continue on with our Product Parade. So let's get started...you can find all of the new releases HERE for purchase.
Several sentiments are in this quarter's release, and I love this Happy Birthday. Fun, sweet font, perfect to make any birthday happy! I paired it with Patchpal Piggy.

There's always that one favorite stamp set from a release that you absolutely love, and this one is mine! It's called Birthday Party. I really like the pennants, as you can tell!!!

Yummy Cupcake with our new Celebrate sentiment.

Okay, here's another favorite...Ice cream cone. How many different flavors of ice cream can you come up with for this one??!! Mine's just chocolate and vanilla, but the possibilities are endless!

Birthday Cake Swirls is featured here.
