Miss You a Latte!

Hi there! I hope you are having a wonderful start to your weekend! I'll be taking a class today at my local stamp store...and a little shopping might happen while I'm there too!

I'm sharing another new release from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps with you today! This adorable image is part of the Cocoa's Latte clear stamp set. You get the image and five sentiments with the clear stamp set or you can get the image as a digi...it's up to you! I love coloring Cocoa and I've used the theme from the Crazy 4 Cocoa Challenge called New Year's resolution...mine is to keep in touch better with my friends. What better way than to send them an adorable card! I've also used the sketch from today's Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge which was a perfect fit for my image. It's and all out Sweet 'n Sassy card, huh!

Cocoa and his latte are colored with Copics and layered atop these sweet papers from the Penny Lane collection by My Mind's Eye. I used a bit of KI Memories ribbon, some pearls, a Prima flower and a button tied with some vintage seam binding!

I hope you'll join us for one of the fun challenges and be sure to stop by the Sweet 'n Sassy Store to see all the new releases...you'll love them!

Challenges:
Crazy 4 Cocoa Challenge #6 - New Year's Resolutions
The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge #90 - Sketch

Cocoa's Gift Card Holder

Hi! Just popping in to show you a little "just for fun" project tonight! I love Cocoa mouse from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps...isn't he cute?! This week's Crazy 4 Cocoa Challenge is to make anything but a card...so here's a little gift card holder and I altered and a matching tag!

This image is called Cocoa's Ornament and he is colored with Copics and cut out with a Spellbinders Labels Eight die. I inked the edges, added some ribbon and now I have the perfect tag to match my box. That's all for now!

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy Today!

Hi there! Just getting a chance to post a few things I have been holding on to...don't want to miss the deadlines! And I have a big post for tomorrow's Tiffany Doodles Hop, so check back tomorrow for that!

There's a new challenge blog in town and it's hosted by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. What's even better than that is...it's all about Cocoa! Cocoa the Mouse that is! It's called the Crazy 4 Cocoa Challenge and there is a new challenge every Tuesday. This week's challenge is to make a card using Cocoa for someone you love...I made this one for my grandfather who just turned 91 last month!

I met up with Korin, the owner of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, along with a few other blogland friends for some stamping fun a few weeks ago and we had a great time! I also got to use some of Korin's stamps to stock up on some images for my stash! This is one of them...it's called Cocoa's Mittens! Isn't it sooo cute!?! I had this great Jillibean Soup paper too, so I knew I had to use this image with it!

He's colored with Copics and I followed the Sweet Sunday Sketch this week too! I added a strip of cardstock cut with the Martha Stewart snowflake edge punch, snowflakes using the ODBD dies, a Heidi Swapp clear snowflake that I have had forever and a mitten cut with the Spellbinders dies that LeAnne had with her that day! A little of Deb's shabby seam binding to tie it on and a few pearls bling it up just enough! My sentiment is from Verve's Balck Tie Birdies set!
