For my next card, I paired my image, which was colored with Copics, with some Aqua Mist, Wild Cherry and Fossil cardstock. My DP is from the Cosmo Cricket Modern Homemaker. My ribbons are from SU, my brads's are from Michael's, and I used an SU punch for my sentiment.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have fun on the hop!! Next stop is Jodi's blog!!!

In All the Sentimental World BHC!!

Hey everyone, and welcome to day two of this month's There She Goes Blog Hop Challenges!! Tonight we are revealing two new sets, so let's get to it!!!

Sentimental Birthday

Who doesn’t need a sentiment set that consists of various birthday sayings? What’s even better is that this set showcases the gorgeous handwriting of our very own Julie Lacey. If you’ve loved her other sentiment sets, then this one will be another lovely addition!

Chris Dark is back with another adorable and playfully illustrated canine set that includes butterflies and a precious picket fence. Add in some sensational sentiments, and you’ve got another TSG set that can’t be passed up!

Tonight's hop started at the There She Goes blog. If you are here now, you should have come from one of my FAVORITE people's blog, our fearless leader, Jessica.

For both my cards today, I used the same paper's and card stock, I just changed up the embellishments. I had so much fun with this set, and it works so PERFECT with the Cosmo Cricket Togetherness collection. I paired it with Wild Cherry, Baja Breeze, and So Saffron. For my sketch, I used a past Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge. All my ribbons are from SU, my brads are from Michael's, and my spiral clip is from Creative Express. For my sentiment, I used the SU modern label punch, but I wanted another layer, so I hand cut one out just a little bigger.

For my next card, I replaced the So Saffron card stock with Fossil. I used different ribbons, but they are still from SU, and my buttons are from Basic Grey. I added some linen thread to them...fun, right?! I have a REALLY hard time using just a sentiment on a card, so I added images from the new In All The World set. When I get a card from my grandma, she always underlines the words she deems important in the card, so I decided to do that, too. My sketch is from this week's Sweet Stop sketch...but I forgot about the Spring twist...so it doesn't exactly count. Oh well!!
Well, that is it for me for now!! Next stop on the hop is my FABULOUS friend, Jodi!! Have fun!!
