SSW - Sponsored by Inktegrity
I used this adorable "Bunny Gift" image for my card:
What do you think of the lacy oval mat? This was done using a straight edge border punch and this punch technique I shared with you in a recent Fab Friday.
Stop by the Sweet Sketch Wednesday blog to check out the rest of the design team's cards and then play along with us for the chance to win a great prize! See the Sweet Sketch Wedesday blog for details!

SSW42
Update: Here's my card, better late than never...
Hopefully that was worth the wait. :) I just love this little guy from Bugaboo! He was a lot of fun to color in. The dp is from a paper pack I purchased at the dollar spot at Target several years ago. I don't often use any of this particular pattern but it worked perfectly with the image.

Playing with Cats
This card is for the inspiration challenge. I used the red & orange colors and the polka dots in the inspiration piece in designing my card.
This card is for the color challenge, which was to use kraft, pumpkin, yellow and celery. I used a sketch from the spring TAC magalog for my layout.

A Punchy Fab Friday
Bordering circles and ovals with your border punches
You can find another sample on the 7KidsCollegeFund blog:
7Kids card (it's the pink Tilda card - you have to scroll down past a few others)
I started playing around with the technique myself tonight. You do really have to cut almost all the way through to make the strip bendable.
Sketch Saturday Challenge
Supplies: Wonder and Joy (TAC), Penny Lane dp from My Minds' Eye, Copics, self adhesive pearls (Michaels), ribbon (Michaels), Bazzill cardstock.

Happy Anniversary, TCP!
I was lucky enough to win this set - "You Sick Thing" - in a previous TCP blog hop. It was appropriate because that's how I've felt the past few days! I was out sick from Monday & Tuesday and finally went back to work today. I'm still not over this bug so I hope it clears out of my system soon.
The printed papers are from My Mind's Eye "Bloom & Grow" collection. I really like buying & using coordinating papers on my cards. It makes it so much easier when a designer has done all the matching up work for me! I don't normally paper piece much on my cards, but I had fun dressing up this little scene. :)
Ippity Wednesday
Here's this week's sketch:
Our former SSW DT member, Kelly, is now an Ippity rep and sent us each some stamps to work with. Here's the card I came up with using the stamps she sent me.
Be sure to stop by the Sweet Sketch Wednesday blog to see the great cards from the other DT members. You could win one Ippity stamp set of your choice from Kelly!

Fab Friday - Alice in Wonderland Style
I have two awesome stamped jewelry tutorials to share with you, both featuring stamp sets from The Angel Company (TAC).
Here's one that also gives a tutorial on using odorless mineral spirits with Prismacolor pencils:
Butterfly necklace
Here's another one that features this month Stamp of the Month, "Snail Mail", as well as the special, limited edition "S is for She" stamp set:
She Adds Beauty necklace
I have box of microscope slides that I bought years ago and bought some hinged frames at Michael's yesterday. I'm going to try my hand at making a necklace or two. They look like a lot of fun to make & would make a great Mothers' Day gift.
Have a great week!
