Good morning! I got my new stamps from Kitchen Sink Stamps yesterday and I LOVE them!! I hope to have a card for you later today. For now, head over to the Kitchen Sink Store and check them out - they are available for pre-order right now. Also, check out the beautiful cards Maria made with the 3 Step Hearts & Roses set - stunning!!

I wanted to share this card I whipped up yesterday for the SCS sketch challenge (well as close as I can come to "whipping" something up anyway! lol!) The sketch was perfect for sweet Cuddle Me Sophia, one of the new clear stamps from Paper Pretties!

I recently received my oval Nestabilities so I decided to use an oval instead of a rectangle on the sketch. The dp (sent to me by Christie) is from Bo Bunny called Jack Frost and it has a beautiful pearlescent, sparkly sheen to it - soooo pretty! I used some Pearlized White cardstock I purchased from Verve Visual. I paper pieced her dress with the Bo Bunny paper and colored her with a combination of Copics and Prismacolor pencils (since I didn't have all the colors I needed of either one). Her bow was colored and then a layer of Carrara White Marble glitter (from the Martha Stewart collection at Michaels) was added so that it matches the paper nicely. To finish off the card I added 3 Swarovski crystals (I think the color is aquamarine). I hope you aren't getting tired of seeing crystals !! I just love using them and they add such a nice touch to the finished project!

Don't forget about Paper Pretties contest! You can win all the sets from the next release! Check out all the details in the Paper Clip and come back tomorrow for some Jules Jewels for your chance to win some stamps!

I'm off to start the day! We're playing catch up today since the children were at Grammy's yesterday . . . lots of school to do! Until later . . thanks for visiting!! :)
