Happy Thursday!  Sorry it's been a few days.  I was busy at some mandatory meetings with my professors pondering over a thesis topic.  I didn't think it would be as stressful as it it.  Hmmmm.  Earth to Jenn, Earth to Jenn, yeah a thesis paper is probably pretty stressful...  Oh, well.  It's the last step right?  

Anyhoo, for today's challenge Carole chose a sketch.  Here's the sketch that she posted.  

We got the go ahead to start sneak peaking for the new summer stamps; the new sets will be available for purchase on May 29.  The little stinker in my card roasting his marshmallow is from a set called Happy Camper.  The second set that is coming out is a letter set called Nightie and it's in "The Cat's Pajama's" font!!!  The size of the stamps are perfect because it's the size you're are always looking for but can't find.  Nightie is also unisex so you can use them for Zoe and Jackson...know what I mean!?  And one last thing.  Alma will also be selling specialty ribbons and coordinating buttons.  I'm so excited, especially since I'm a huge fan, or obsessed, with ribbon and apparently buttons for the moment.  

Supplies:  White CS, Black CS, Mustard CS, Cosmo Cricket Packet - Mr Campy, Nestibilities, Linen thread, Corner punch, It's All About The Trims Ribbon from TCP, Buttons TCP

Happy Summer

Happy Monday!  Today I have a card to share with you from All That Scraps; I'm using three different sets in this card.  One of the things I love about ATS is how sets tie into one another with themes.  This allows you to expand and build on your existing collections as you are able.  And with summer fast approaching the theme of May's releases is summer, of course!  

The adorable little gal is Bathing Beauty Emma.  The seashells she's playing with are from Beach Scenes set and the sentiment is from Beach Sentiments by Amy R.  

I decided to use Amy R's Friday Sketch for my card; it's such a cute sketch I knew I had to use it for Emma.  Anyhoo, Amy is a very talented, long time blogger, and leader of our ATS design team; she has many inspiring cards and projects to fuel your creative thoughts.  Please drop by Amy's blog and see for yourself!!!

Hugs for stopping by, Jenn

Today's challenge is an inspiration challenge.  Here is the photo that Toni selected as inspiration.

Here's my card.  I used one of my favorite sets from The Cat's Pajamas, Smells Like Cake! I think these little guys are so cute.  Don't they look really mischievous?  Almost like the Chipmunks.  

Copics used...

Supplies:  Wild Wasabi CS/Ribbon/Ink, Soft Sky CS/Ribbon, PTI White CS, Basic Grey Two Scoops, Fancy Pants Flowers, Nestibilities, Filigree Brads

Here's a card I made using a whimsical set from The Greeting Farm called Wonderland.

I had this stack of paper called Once Upon A Time from DCWV for a couple of years now.  I had a feeling I would have the perfect use for it one day.  Well that day finally came when Marie previewed the sets to us last month.  When I saw this set complete with Alice, The Mad Hatter, and White Rabbit, I knew I had found it's perfect match.  

I thought this paper with the trees and a path would fit perfectly for Alice.  She's skippin' along the path to Grandmother's house... Wait wrong story.  My bad.  Let's just say Alice is taking a leisurely walk and galavanting around the forest.  To be honest, I haven't read the story or seen the cartoon or whatever it is.  I'll be sure to use my time wisely at work tomorrow and look the story up.  Anyhoot, thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Tuesday!
