Happy Tuesday stampers! It's time for another fun sketch and some fabulous inspiration from the team at Tuesday Morning Sketches! We have Doodle Pantry sponsoring this week's sketch, designed by Melissa...

    

    

Here is my simple take on the sketch... I've used my C.C. Designs Coffee and Cocoa Logos set, which hasn't seen ink in a while! I love coffee themed stamps, and these cute little cups are so fun and easy to paper piece. I've used some pink polka dot printed paper from Recollections, with kraft and brown cardstock... a favorite combo of mine! The sentiment is from Winter Chuckles, also from C.C. Designs.

     

       

That's all I have for today! Be sure to check out the line up from my team-mates at the Tuesday Morning Sketches Blog... they have some fabulous inspiration prepared for you this week!

       

And now it's your turn! You have until Sunday, July 8th to link up your creation at the TMS Blog for your chance to win the prize from Doodle Pantry!
I can't wait to see what you make!

     

         

It's day 1 of the July Previews at the C.C. Designs Blog, and I think this release will knock your socks off! Lots and lots of summery cuteness!

       

I made a little 4x4 card with the new Watermelon Abigail... I just LOVE her! Did you know that August 3rd is National Watermelon Day?? What a fun excuse to make some cards and goodies with this cutie!

Sweet little Abigail is colored with Copics, fussy cut and popped up on the card. That fun watermelon print was available by-the-sheet at Michael's a while ago, and has been sitting in my stash. It's paired with Bazzill Gumdrop Cardstock to complete the watermelon theme. And... you can't go wrong with a cute, punny sentiment! This one is from the new AmyR set, Sweet Summer Sentiments.

Just popping in real quick with a simple card I made...

        

I'm loving this cute little unicorn from the Meoples Once Upon set... I think next time I need to color it up with some rainbow hair! This time I did a sort of monochromatic look with some different shades of violet. The sentiment is from the Magical Wishes set, stamped onto a cut-out from my CC Cutters Banner Tags Dies. The layout is from Seize the Birthday Challenge #20.

It seems like every month there is a new character at Digistamp Boutique that I go completely ga-ga over! This time, it's Bobbi...

            

There are four different images of Bobbi (hopefully more to come!) and the one I've used here is Bathtime Bobbi. Isn't he the sweetest?! I've colored him with some soft, pastel shades of Copics, and paired him with some simple baby paper from Heidi Grace. After coloring the towel, I used a terry-cloth rag soaked with Copic Blender Solution to blot the area, giving it a little texture. I also added a bit of glitter to the bubbles.The layout is the Deconstructed Sketch #106.
