The Sweet Stop SSS199

I am having some fun making Mother's Day cards!

I'm glad I got some good stamps from Verve!

I'm trying to make a few more with some different colors and styles

to have a nice variety in my Etsy boutique. I also excited

that I have a Stampin Up order coming in this

week with some great Father's Day stamps. I'll be tackling some of

those cards in a few weeks!

My creation:

Supplies:

Paper studio paper

Verve stamps, Versamark ink, Zing glitter black ep

Retro Sketch #52

For this weeks Retro Sketch since it has been a years

worth of sketches, Arielle said to go through

all the past Retro sketches and pick

one from there to do. I liked this alot since I have only

recently come across Retro. I picked sketch #43 which I think

was the sketch that they were on when I first discovered them

but I didn't have time to participate. The only thing I really did different with

this sketch was the placement of the sentiment.

Got some cute baby stamps and paper the other

day and thought I should put them to use!

I'm also trying to get better at

more elaborate bows on my cards with multiple

loops and tails. I think this one

was halfway decent...

I'm always excited when I get to use new stamps! 

I got a set of Inkadinkadoo stamps with various birds last 

week from Michaels on clearance for $5! I was

excited to see the spin for the card was birds or bees, gave me a 

good excuse to pull the new stamps out!

I really liked this sketch too. Will definitely use it

again for future cards. This one was actually the first one

I made last night using my new Happy Mother's Day 

stamp from Verve Stamps. Again I love this

paper! I think Authentique paper may be my current favorite.

i just love all the beautiful patterns and colors.

Think I'll get another pack next week.

I really liked this weeks sketch. It took me a little 

while to figure out what I wanted to stamp on it. I knew

I wanted to make it a Father's day or dad birthday card.

Then I remembered the mustache stamp I got on sale last week

at hobby lobby and thought it was perfect to 

help fill the space.

Wow its been awhile! The Hubs and I have been busy

remodeling our rent house for our new 

tenant and we finally finished last week, and 

she got all moved in so we decided we needed a break from

everything here so we went to Dallas for the weekend for 

a bit of R&R... I got ALOT of sleep and now I am back

and ready to make some more cards!!

This card is for Mojo's contest week, they do this the 

fist monday of every month. I'm still making cards to send to various

people at my church when they are sick, having surgery, or

recently lost loved ones. That's why most of

what you'll be seeing will be the 'praying for you' and

'thinking of you' type cards...
