too exciting...

Remember when I said I had a big announcement before Christmas? Well, it's time to let you in on the secret! I'm so excited! I've been asked to join the Design Team for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps! I am looking forward to sharing and creating with their amazing images. Sweet 'n Sassy is a small stamp company with an exclusive line of clear and digital stamps you can't get anywhere else. Their main goal is to share the love of Christ through paper crafting and they have a wonderful selection of spiritual stamps as well as all occasion and holiday images.

Please take a moment to hop over to their blog and their weekly Sketch Challenge blog and play along with us as we start our first sneak peaks of the stamp sets being released January 7th!


My first design is for the "Melody of Love" stamp set being released in January, and I just love this image! I stamped the violin on Whisper White cardstock, then colored the image with Copic markers. I distressed the panel with Memento Desert Sand ink, then sponged Marvy English Red ink on the edges. I stamped one of the many sentiment from the stamp set onto a scalloped circle cut out using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.


I mounted both pieces to my designer musical papers, then adhered the panel to a red card. I added a big silky red bow and rhinestones to finish the card. My card fits the Sweet 'n Sassy "The Sweet Stop" Sketch Challenge! Card size: 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches
