Some Sugar

Back with a quick second post today. It has been forever since I played along with the Sugar Bowl challenges. I always love their sketches and the images are so sweet. This sketch Sugar Bowl challenge 61 is a wonderful one! Fun and easy to work with.

I've had this stamp for well over a year, and he's seen no ink. I thought he would be perfect for a teacher thank you card. This one will go to one of the preschool teachers at Liam's school. School ends for him Friday, nothing like waiting till the last minute!

Thanks for dropping by today. Hope you are having a fabulous week.

Sugar Bowl challenge 21

I made this one for the Sugar Bowl challenge 21. Along with the sketch this time, the twist was to make a Christmas card. I hope this counts, it is sort of an anti-holiday card. I always have a friend or two that are having trouble getting in the holiday spirit. I thought this fun little card would be perfect to send to give them a smile. Who could look at this Little Miss Attitude in her holiday dress and not smile?

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Hope you had a great weekend. Looking forward to the Phillies game tonight.

Sugary Christmas Card

I made this one for the latest Sugar Bowl sketch challenge #20. The challenge along with the sketch was to do some paper piecing. I just got the latest Basic Gray Christmas paper, Eskimo Kisses and could not wait to use it! I used to hoard all my Basic Gray paper, don't know why, it was just too pretty to cut up. But I decided I won't buy anymore unless I start to use it. So the last two packs I bought, I used some right away. I've been doing a few Christmas each month, so hopefully I'll be caught up by December.

This card uses the Sugar Nellie Gorjuss Girl Flower Girl stamp. She is just so sweet, I've been loving all the Gorjuss Girl stamps I have, and think I need to add a few more to my collection!

Thanks for dropping by today. Hope your week is off to a great start!

Pink and Brown Sugar Bowl

I made this one for the latest Sugar Bowl challenge. The sketch was fun and the color combination is one of my favorites, pink and brown. These Sugar Nellie stamps are just so cute and so much fun to color!

Sugar Bowl with Buttons

I've got tons of buttons that I don't use enough, so I was excited to see this fun Sugar Bowl challenge. The sketch was fantastic and the twist was to use some buttons. I also love this retired dsp by Stampin UP, it's called Jersey Shore, too bad it's not available anymore. The orange and blue combination really appeals to me.

I love these Gorjuss Girls stamps from Sugar Nellie, they are so sweet. I only bought one set so far, but am feeling the need to order more. I wanted to see if I could make them work. They are slightly goth, and I don't usually go for that look, but now that they are here I love them!

Off and running, hubby needs the computer for an online fantasy football draft this evening. I promised I'd be quick with my post. Have a wonderful evening. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Sugar Bowl Challenge #16

I loved this Sugar Bowl sketch! So many fun elements to incorporate. The little bear is popped up on foam to add a bit of dimension. Her boots are coated with Crystal Effects to look like leather boots! Every girl needs some leather boots, right?

Just realized I was supposed to do some doodling for this challenge. I guess I'll have to do a second card with some doodling on it. I don't want to try to add some to this card, cause I'm not too good at it and don't want to ruin this one.


You might recognize the polka dot paper from my last post. I just opened this pack of SU paper I've had for a while and I absolutely love the colors in it. You'll probably be seeing more of it soon!


Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day.
