May SFYTT Sponsored by Skipping Stones Design!

Yay! New sketch time! The first Saturday of the month brings us a new sketch from Jen and this month we're being sponsored by Skipping Stones Design!

Here's our sketch this week

And here's my sample using Dandelion Dreams from SSD!

Sorry about the quality of this picture, I'm fighting my way through a nasty cold and picture editing is not my strong suit when I'm sick, haha! At least you can see those beautiful stamps! I love the dandelion, such a fun image:)

As you can see, I flipped this sketch to better fit my image! That's the great thing about sketches, they look completely different with just a little rotation:)

Want to play along with the new sketch {and for a chance to be the next Designer of the Month}? Check out these details…

Now go visit the rest of the team and see what they've come up with! We have a NEW sister on the team, Tracy! So make sure to go visit her and leave her some love:) 

Our May guest designer is Annie Rose! She has a really fun blog so make sure to visit her too! Welcome to the team Tracy and Annie!

And here's the rest of the gang:)

SFYTT-Skipping Stones Designs

Happy Saturday! We actually had a half decent day here in Okinawa, which is unusual during rainy season! But enough about that. You want to see this weeks SFYTT? Well here it is:

This week, we're being sponsored by a GREAT stamp company! Maybe you've heard of them? Skipping Stones Designs has some amazingly cute and funny stamp sets! You gotta check them out. The stamps are very high quality, and what I love about them is that they're trimmed close! Sometimes you get stamps that aren't trimmed all that close and it makes it easy to get ink where you DON'T want it! No worries with these stamps, they're wonderful! Check it out for yourself here ---> Click!

Here's my sample using the beautiful "Healing Wings"--

I really love this set, it has three gorgeous butterflies and several sentiments good for sympathy or friendship. I think this one is a real keeper! Isn't that butterfly amazing? I really wanted to color it in with my Copics but I really liked how it looked as is. I sprayed some Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist on the butterfly but you really can't tell in this picture.

How about a chance to win some NEW releases from SSD? One lucky winner will receive BOTH new stamp sets just for playing along in this weeks sketch! Make sure to link your card up on Jen's Blog for your chance to win! I hear one of the new sets has something to do with a little movie called "Twilight"? GET OUT! Oh yeah, you don't want to miss this one!

Skipping Stones Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Skipping Stones Design Blop Hop sponsored by Skipping Stones Design. Angela was sweet enough to extend an invitation to the Splitcoast DD/DDA to participate in this month's hop and after I saw her ADORABLE stamps I signed up! If you've just happened upon my blog, you can CLICK HERE to start from the beginning at Skipping Stones Design. You should have arrived here from Sweet Latisha's blog!

I got to play with the NEW, NOT-YET-RELEASED set called "Coffee Vol. 1" and it is SO CUTE and totally ME! Seriously, this is what I look like in the morning, lmbo!

Isn't she so cute? I colored her with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol! I stamped the large coffee cup in versamark on the card base but it's kinda hard to see it in the picture:( I love the sentiment! It's my motto, lol!

Well I'm sorry I don't have more to share with this fun set, but I just got it in the mail today and I have strep throat so I'm not feeling very mojo-rific right now;)

Okay! Off you go to Peggy's Blog for your next round of eye candy! Along the way, the Skipping Stones Design Team will have blog candy for you to enter. As an added bonus, there will also be 4 stamp sets (new stamp sets not yet released) hidden along the hop, but we’re not telling you where so be sure to leave some love as you hop!!! Make sure you leave comments on every post so you have a chance to win!! The winners will be announced on Friday January 8th at Skipping Stones Design.

Along with all THAT, the Skipping Stones team sent me "Blocks and Borders-Swirls " to give away as blog candy today! So leave a comment here and tell me what your favorite SSD stamp set is and I'll draw a name on Friday for the lucky recipient!
