You're Sew Thoughtful!

Hi All! And a very Happy Saturday to you!  I'm back with another Fun Fabulous Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge. Yay! I Just Love Korin's Awesome Sketches, they're always so much fun to work with! 8-) I took one look at the this weeks sketch and new exactly which image I would use, it's one from Sweet 'N Sassy that I had been wanting to color up for a while now.. 8-)  So without further delay.... Here is the Sweet Stop Sketch #123  for this week:



And here's my take on it.. Pretty much the only tiny tweek this time is that my card is not exactly square, more like a taller rectangle, almost square, but not quite.. lol 


I printed out my Darling  Sew Happy Cocoa from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps onto Flourishes Classic White and colored him up with my trusty Copics, as always..lol.  Isn't he just the Sweetest little guy!  Well I thought so, and I added a touch of Antique Linen Distress ink shading after cutting him out with my Classic Rectangles Nesties, leaving the die in place.  I matted Up My Sweet little Cocoa with the help of my Classic Scallops Rectangles and some Adorable Digi dp's from Cosmo Cricket's Material Girl set. I thought it was just the cutest sewing themed dp ever and so perfect for my Sew Happy Cocoa image too!  My BG layers were made from the same digi dp's and a bit of Kraft CS from my stash as well. I printed my Sweet 'N Sassy sentiment onto a small bit of CS from my stash, rounded the corners with my corner chomper and shaded it with a touch of Antique Linen Distress ink.  And to finish it all up, I popped up my Adorable Little Cocoa with some dimensionals,  and added a few Fun little buttons all tied up with some yummy bakers twine from MAD Stamper Finds...Pretty easy peasy, huh?.. 8-)
Well, I sure hope you can play along with us at The Sweet Stop!  Can't wait to see your take on this weeks sketch and what you all come up with!  And as always, please, make sure to stop by and take a peek at the Super Cute Creations the rest of the Sweet Stop Sugar Babies have cooked up for your inspiration! 8-)

    Thanks too for all your thoughts and prayers as we went through hurricane Irene. We came out just fine, unlike some folks who's lives were devastated. Can you believe there's already another hurricane in the Atlantic this week, and it's not even hurricane season yet!........or so we thought!

I believe the person who will get this card really musat like sewing.
