A Sweet Stop-Inspired Sneak Peek

Hi All! So I was surfing the net for a little inspiration that might properly showcase this next collection. To my delight, I came upon The Sweet Stop challenge blog. They have some fun sketches over there, so you'll definitely want to put them on your inspire-me list.

Here's the sketch I used:


Here's my take:

Okay, this is a FANTASTIC collection called Claire. As the mom of an almost-12 year-old girl, this collection is going to be a go-to one for me. This simple card is layered on a White Daisy base. The sentiment is also a sneak peek. It's from a new stamp set called Scrapbook Statements--Women. It's stamped on White Daisy cardstock in Hollyhock Exclusive Ink. I used a fancy corner punch to give the sentiment a little flair and popped it up with dimensional adhesive. A little Color-Ready Seam Binding bow and three Pearl Opaque Gems add just the right level of bling, don't you think?

Here are a couple of close-ups:


Don't you just love the sentiment!

Hope you enjoyed a peek at Claire! (Remember, it will be available February 1st.) Have a Happy Monday!
