celebrate ~ DS139

I must admit...I am having a lot of fun with my Art Impressions goodies and since we are snowed in I might as well play.

I used the just released Ai Pop-Ups set Birthday Surprise & Birthday Party set.

I also used this weeks sketch over at The Deconstructed Sketch for my cards inspiration. I did flip flop a couple of things on the sketch to work better with my image.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me. ~ hugs Sherry ~

fresh cut florals ~ DS136

I just love BasicGrey and the new Fresh Cut Florals is absolutely gorgeous. Don't you just love those layered flowers?

 I added some vellum leaves that I cut out using a couple of PoppyStamp dies.

I used this sketch for the inspiration on my card today.

happy birthday ~

As I write this blog post it is a beautiful day here in Minnesota with a balmy temp of 34 degrees.

I love the deconstructed sketch this week and just had to play along.

Here is my take on the sketch using papers by Carta Bella from the 'rough and tumble' collection.

I am also entering this into the Paper Smooches 'anything goes' challenge and the Sentimental Sunday challenge #190 to use more than 3 layers.

Enjoy the Ride! - SS140

Over at Sentimental Sundays we have a new challenge for you and this week it is all about "celebrating the new". That can mean anything from new bike, new car, new home to new baby. We just want to see something new and don't forget that sentiment on your card.

Our sponsor this week is Milk Coffee and Whimsy Stamps. 

This was a fun image to color and who wouldn't want a new bike. I used papers and twine by Jillibean Soup and the alpha stickers are by Fancy Pants. 

I used this weeks deconstructed sketch for the inspiration on my card.

I hope you play along with us this week and don't forget to stop over at the blog and see what the rest of the design team has created for you.
