Happy Saturday to you! Hope your new year is getting off to a good start. I pray that you are well and haven't caught that nasty flu bug that's going around. I've got a lot to share with you today, so I'll get right to it! You'll want to keep scrolling down because there's a mini blog hop at the end of this post with a chance to win some wonderful prizes!
First...it's time for the very first sketch of 2013 at The Sweet Stop!
Creative Nugget: Isn't this little girl just darling? This Mo Manning digi image, With Love, was so much fun to color with Copic Markers. I couldn't resist adding Stickles to her little valentine! The wavy panels were cut out of Yours Truly papers by Echo Park with a wavy cutter by Creative Memories. The hearts, from a brand new set by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps called Bottom of my Heart, were stamped on various red and pink papers with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and cut with the matching Heart Die Set. Everything was matted with True Black card stock and attached to a Neenah Solar Crest card base. The little sentiment tag was attached to the side of the main image panel and pearls finish the card.
Check out more fabulous eye candy by the other Sugar Babies and play along with us this week over at The Sweet Stop!
