Good To The Last Drop! *Giveaway!*

Can I make a confession...I am SO relieved to not be creating holiday cards right now! LOL! I had SO much fun making this birthday card. I started with a challenging, but fun sketch for Sketch Tuesday at Skipping Stones Design and then added a dose of SUPER CUTE stamps (SSD, of course!), and then added a good dose of WAY ADORABLE papers from Samantha Walker for Creative Imaginations, the Big Top Birthday collection, and...well...PURE AND UTTER CUTENESS!!!!

Good To The Last Drop


I absolutely love how these papers come together and the colors are just divine!!! The base of the card is a fabulous die cut paper. I ADORE those big bulbous circles!!! HAPPY!!!! AND...are you loving those super cute coffee stamps? Keep reading, my friends....keep on reading.... Just say'n.

Good To The Last Drop Sentiment


I used my waterbrush to color the image with the same ink that I used to stamp the sentiment. I love doing that because it allows for coordination all around and, well, that just makes me happy.

So...you should totally hop on over to Skipping Stones Design today to participate in the Sketch Challenge for this week! Here is the sketch created by Amy Shaffer:

ALSO...don't forget to check out what ALL the Stamp Tramps have created along with our AMAZING guest designers for this month...seriously. They rock. Just say'n.

AND...If you are interested in *WINNING* the same stamp set that I used here, Funny Coffee Vol. 1, you should probably leave a comment below. For a second chance, leave a second comment letting me know you follow my blog via Google Friend Connect (see right sidebar to join!). I will keep this open for one week, so it will close Next Monday night and I will announce the winner with next week's sketch! Sound like a plan? Sounds like a plan to me, folks!
