With that in mind, my Sweet Stop sample this week is a birthday card made with this adorable new digi image of the infamous Cocoa..."Cocoa's Candy Apple."
Creative Nugget: As we end the month of October, SSS131 is a repeat of sketch 77, our last blast from the past. This is a perfect sketch for using up those left over scraps of designer paper. The card and the autumn colors were inspired by this week's Inspiration Challenge photo over at the SNSS forum at Splitcoaststampers. Cocoa and the yummy caramel apple were colored with copic markers. A heavy layer of Glossy Accents was added to make the caramel on the apple look creamy. The image and all the matting layers were die cut with Nestabilities. The "Max and Whiskers" DP by Basic Grey provided the perfect fall palette for all the layers on the sketch. The Fine Linen sentiment panel was given some texture with my favorite canvass impression plate. Everything was mounted on a Fine Linen card base. The Maraschino twine was distressed a bit with Walnut Stain distress ink and wrapped around the card. A few buttons, twine, and carnation creations die cuts were added to finish this sweet birthday card. Check out the other awesome samples by the Sugar Babies over at The Sweet Stop!

On a different note, this new little bundle of golden fur has completely upset our daily routine...not that I'm complaining mind you! We've had Kody, who turned two months old yesterday, since last Friday. His antics keep us laughing, and it's a good thing because waking up every three hours has me exhausted, but our crate training is going very well as Kody seems to be a quick learner...praise the Lord! I'll keep you posted occasionally as Kody grows and keeps us on our toes!
Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy your weekend...and for those of you in the east...the SNOW!!
