Store-SugarCuts-Zig-Zag-Stitched-Rectangles Store-Lost-Without-You3

I used the "Lost Without You" stamp set and the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangles! I coloured the image on actual Copic paper. I bought a test pack at my local store and wow, I love the way it worked with the Copic markers! SO smooth! I added some glitter tape to the top and a small snowflake embellishment from my stash. This card is nice and flat to mail as well!

SugarPea Designs Sketch Challenge Week #1 {Love You Bunches}


Today is the first "Sketch" for myself and my new teammates over at SugarPea Designs! Wendy has created a SUPER fun sketch and I immediately wanted to create something bright and cheerful! I dug into my stash of SugarPea Designs stamps and decided to put together two different sets!


Store---Hello-Sunshine 


Store---Love-You-Bunches

I kept the colours simple and clean. I love that little pup! And I added some flair...


Come and play along with us!

Are you looking for last week's winner? Please CLICK HERE.


Hello and welcome to The Challenge! Each week we have a fun challenge for you to try! This week we have a Sketch Challenge! This will be our final challenge for 2015 and then we will be back on January 4, 2016!!!

We are sad to announce that Michele is stepping down from The Challenge and that this is her final card with us this week! I loved working with you, Michele! You will be missed! xo


For my card, I decided to use the new FREE DIGI STAMP over at Verve! It is SO cute and easy to use. I love the font and the sentiment. Thank you, Julee! I printed it on blue paper and then coloured the tea cup with my Copic markers. Some washi tape and twine finished it off!

(Welcome, Karola!)


The design team have created some inspiration to get you in the crafting mood! Come and join us! Our weekly winner will be our next Guest Designer! So come and join the fun!
