Happy Tuesday stampers! I hope you all had a fantastic Easter holiday! Ours was loads of fun... we had an awesome time with family, and the kiddos got lots of yummy goodies from the Easter Bunny! :)

      

Now, let's get down to business! It's time for another sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches, and another fabulous sponsor is joining us this week... CAS-ual Fridays Stamps! Here is the sketch, brought to you by Melissa this week...

    

       

I think there a lots of possibilites for this sketch, and I can't wait to see everyone's interpretation this week!

       

Here is what I came up with, using the new Mashi's Muffins Mom stamp from All That Scraps. I used some pretty papers from the My Mind's Eye Memorable 6x6 pad, and colored her up to match. She's fussy cut and popped up on the card, and I added a little adhesive gem for her earring. She looks a bit sassy, so I thought this sentiment from the AmyR Magical Wishes set was perfect for this card!

It's another Fun Friday at Your Next Stamp, and this month's theme is CELEBRATIONS! We've been celebrating all month long with New Releases and Blog Hops, and quite frankly, I'm exhausted! ;) So, I went very simple for today's card... did a little paper piecing, and just a tiny bit of coloring. The stamps are from the Seasonal Icons Set One, and I added a touch of Glossy Accents to the heart and sprinkles on the cupcake.

It's Tuesday again already, and that means another sketch for you to take on at Tuesday Morning Sketches! I'm so excited about this week... our very own Jessi Fogan is our generous sponsor, offering up 18 of her beautiful Crocheted Mats to this week's winner! I wish I could enter to win! Jessi also designed this week's sketch, perfect to showcase her mats...

    

   

Of course, you don't have to use a crocheted mat on your card when you enter the challenge, but if you've got them, why not show them off? :)

      

Jessi was so sweet to send the Design Team a variety of mats to choose from, and I LOVED working with them! I wanted to do a girly sort of card, so I picked this cute Fun Time Rosie digital image from Digistamp Boutique. I colored her with Copics to match this colorful paper from the My Mind's Eye "Notable" 6x6 pad. The edges of all papers are inked with a combo of Antique Linen Distress Ink and Versamagic Jumbo Java Ink. I also added just a dab of glitter to the butterfly wings.

Hello everyone and welcome to the MarkerPOP! + All That Scraps Blog Hop!!!

   

MarkerPOP! is the home of premium markers plus lots more! 

All That Scraps is the home of C.C. Designs stamps which we all know and love! 

Today we are teaming up to share some amazing projects using the new C.C. Designs release along with some of our favorite coloring tools from MarkerPOP.com. If you are just joining us on the hop, you are going to want to start back at the beginning of the hop list which can be found at the end of this post!

MarkerPOP! and All That Scraps are my two FAVORITE places to shop, so I'm super excited to be joining in this hop! I made a sweet little card featuring the new Beautiful Lucy image from All That Scraps along with some yummy MarkerPOP! goodies... First Edition "Rose Garden" 6x6 Paper, and some pretty Pink Dot Washi Tape. Lucy is colored with Copics, fussy cut, and popped up on the card. I glittered up the white part of her wings, so there is a subtle sparkle to her. This was my first time using Washi Tape (I know, I'm so behind the trends!), and I wasn't quite sure what to do with it... I ended up adhering it to white cardstock, stretching some twine across it, and adding it to the card like ribbon! The sentiment is from the new AmyR Winged Greetings, also from All That Scraps.
