Warmest Wishes..

Hi All! And a Very Happy Sweet Stop Sketch Saturday to you! Our power is still out, so I am back at Starbucks to do my post..lol Crazy huh..? 8-) They are saying maybe by Sunday they will have it back on.. I sure hope so as its' really cramping my crafting schedule! lol.. And as my Sweet friend Kim mentioned, They might frown on it at Starbucks if I start bringing my crafting supplies there to work on my projects.. lol  Yep, I think she's probably right! LOL.. 8-) Anyway, Thanks so much, to everyone, for all your well wishes! They are So very much appreciated and I will keep you all posted as to the power situation! I will be doing my Happy dance for sure once it's back on..lol  Okay, onto this weeks Fabulous Sweet Stop Sketch #137:

And here's my take on it.. I pretty much stayed spot on with Mis Korin's Awesome Sketch..8-)

I saw this little Cutie at Stitchy Bear Stamps and thought he was just way too Adorable to pass up.. all bundled up in his little snow suit. I could help but chuckle out loud, so I had to snatch him up. 8-)  Well, I printed him out onto Flourishes Classic White and did a little paper piecing for his snow suit and hat. I colored up the rest of him and added some shading too with my trusty Copics. I added a few emboss resist  Flourishes snowflakes.. First I embossed my snowflakes with White EP and then very lightly sponged on a bit of Tumbled Glass Distress inks over top and created my Sweet snowy scene. cut out and matted up my Sweet little fellow,with the help of my Classic Rectangles and Scalloped Rectangle Nesties sets and popped him up with a few dimensionals. For my Mats and BG layers I chose a combinations of kraft CS from my stash and dp's from MME's Holly Jolly collection. To finish it all up, Inked all my edges with Vintage Photo distress ink, I stamped my Hero Arts sentiment, which I can't seem to find in their store right now, with Memento Rich Cocoa onto a matted up die cut oval, added a bit of Ribbon from my stash, a touch of Stardust Stickles here and there,  a fun little die-namic snowflakes topped with a cute little button, all tied up with some Yummy Bakers twine from MAD Stamper Finds. 8-)
I hope you can play along with us at The Sweet Stop! Can't wait to see what you all come up with for this weeks sketch.  And as always, please, make sure to stop by and take a peek at the Darling creations the rest of the Sweet Stop Sugar Babies have cooked up for your inspiration. Leave them a little Love too, it's always greatly Appreciated.... 8-)                


Hope you all have Fabulous weekend & thanks so much for visiting today! 8-)

  4. Shannon, this is by far the cutest thing ever! It's a beautiful card but that image will just keep me laughing all day long! This probably would be what I'd look like in really cold weather!
