SSSC184 & Fusion #6


Happy Mother's Day to all you amazing moms out there!!!  I hope each and every one of you are being treated like queens today - not that you shouldn't be treated like that EVERY day, but today is especially important.  :)  I'm not sure what my family has planned for the day - I would love to just sit in the sun and read all day so we'll see if that happens.

Today we've got a brand new Sweet Sunday Sketch for you and I really love this one (I know.  I say that EVERY week....)  Karen has created a fun CAS sketch but you could certainly make it *floofy* if you wanted to:


I got back to my old tricks with this one - the image I wanted to use wasn't really big enough to fill the circular panel in the center so I switched it up a bit... made a square card and used the sketch as the panel on it.  Take a peek:


The color combo is from a fabulous new challenge I found, Fusion Card Challenge.  Each week they give you a sketch and an inspiration photo and you decide if you are going to use the sketch, the inspiration photo or BOTH together when you make your card.  Totally fun, right?  Here's this week's challenge graphic:

As you can tell, I decided to go with the inspiration photo for my card - especially since I already had an amazing sketch to work with. ;)

Okie dokie, need some more inspiration?  All of the fabulous Sweet Sunday Stampers have inspiration for you, so please stop by and say hello to:


... and this week's amazingly funny, talented, crazy, super-awesome guest Sweet Stamper, Jenny Peterson.  I have the pleasure of living only 25 minutes from Jenny and she is just as sweet in person as she is on her blog.  Wild and a bit crazy...OK, a lot crazy... but one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. 

OK - enjoy your day and I hope the week ahead is a great one for you.  LONG weekend coming up - can't wait!
