July Sweet Peek #6 & A Reason to be THANKFUL

I'm keeping this part short and sweet because I have much more to share after the peek....

Here is today's Sweet Peek from a new set called Love is Like a Tree....be sure to join us tonight at The Sweet 'n Sassy Connection for our release party and full reveals :).


Now on to much more important things....

If ever I have anything to be thankful for today I am thankful that my husband is still with us....yesterday afternoon the phone rang and on the other line was my husband telling me to come get him, he had just totaled his van (work van). Of course all kinds of things started racing through my head as I drove to the scene of the accident. When I came around the turn and saw his van smashed into a huge tree my heart sank and I immediately thanked God for sparing his life. I have never seen anything so frightening. It is a miracle he wasn't trapped inside much less WALKED away. I believe his guardian angel was working overtime yesterday and he may have even called in for back up ;).







The "what ifs" keep running through my mind but the important thing is that my hubby is ok. No broken bones (can you believe it???) just lots of bruises and a sore shoulder.

I have lots more pics on my Facebook wall if you want to see more, but just these show you how thankful we are that Dan is ok.

Join me in praising God for is continued watch care. He is so good!!!!

See you tonight at the release party!

July Sweet Peek #1

The week of July Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Sweet Peeks is here!!

First up is this sweet new set illustrated by Rachel Zimmerman called Helping Hand. The sentiments in this set go so well with the image and they all lend very well to some amazing heartfelt thank you cards.


For my sample I went a bit crazy with the sewing machine, but it's the only embellishing I did on the card because I didn't want to take away from the precious image :).

Thanks for dropping by today. Be sure to stop by the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog to see more fabulous peeks at this new set.

See you tomorrow with another new set.....it'll have you "seeing spots"! :)

Hugs,

Summertime Sketch Card

Wow! It's been a week since I posted....summer is in full swing, let me tell you!

For this week's Sweet Stop sketch I have another cute Cocoa card. I sure hope you aren't sick of him ;).

Thanks for stopping by.....I'll be sharing a second card in a little while because today is day #1 of our July Sweet Peeks :)!

Round Sketch

Today's Sweet Stop sketch is our monthly sketch with a spin and the spin is to make a ROUND card :). I LOVE seeing round cards, but I have a tough time making them, so this challenge is really more for me :).

I hope you like what I came up with. I decided to make a delicate wedding card. I used a butterfly from Everyday Miracles.


Thanks for stopping by today! Have a beautiful day!!

Bethany Notecard Box Set

I love Target's Dollar Spot. It's such a fun place to shop :).....you never know what fun little goodies you will find. I especially love when they have little boxes and trinkets that can be altered with paper-crafty goodness :).


I found these adorable little boxes this past week that are perfect for a set of notecards and since we are revealing our Secret Sisters tonight at our church's Ladies Fellowship, I thought a cute box of notecards would be the perfect reveal gift :). I have had to BUY everything for my secret sister all year or she would have known it was me :)!! The ladies at my church know me so well ;).

The Bethany image on the top of the box is from Sending Hugs Bethany which is also available as a digi. The sentiments on the note cards (there are four in total, but I only have 2 pictured here) are from various other Sweet 'n Sassy stamp sets.

I used Echo Park's Little Girl paper and some Pink Sorbet Baker's Twine which both go very nicely with the cute polka dot box. I also picked up from Target's Dollar Spot the cute gift bag pictured here. It came in a pack of two for only a buck! Love that!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Exciting Sneak Peek!

I have been keeping the secret for some time, but it's time to let the cat out of the bag :)! I am so thrilled to share with you that I guest designing for Christian Paper Crafts this month! How fun!

Christian Paper Crafts is a lovely community full of people who love the Lord and love paper crafts :).

A word from CPC's founder, Cindy Coutts:

"We strive to obey Jesus Christ by sharing His gospel with those who are lost and those who may have strayed from the faith by strengthening, encouraging, and making bold the body of Christ to share the message of salvation with others through paper crafting. I am so excited about launching this website. After praying about this for months, the Lord laid it upon my heart to use the gift that he has given me (and you!) for His glory to spread the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.That is what this ministry is all about – JESUS. Everything we do here will be used to glorify the Lord. You will have fun here and learn the Word of God. Come on in and join us, be blessed, and keep your Bible handy by your computer. Both the design team and I joyfully serve our Great King!"


Each month the CPC DT and guest designers put together an amazing gallery called Design Team Delights. It's full inspiration that only Super Sisters and King's Daughters members can access. You won't be able to see the projects inside the gallery anywhere else…not on blogs, in galleries, or anywhere! They are exclusive to the Design Team Delights, so join us today and don't miss a thing!

This month's Design Team Delights gallery theme is Sweet Summertime. I am happy to share that I do get to share a sneak peek from the projects I made, so I decided to share this happy card with you.


The stamp set is from our June release called Happy Ocean Friends. Aren't these little critters sweet?? The fun papers are from Echo Park's Summer Days collection. I colored the images with my Copics. I added Stickles to some of the waves and a fun pearl flourish to look kind of like a splash as the little fishy is jumping out of the water. The inside sentiment reads, "a birthday wish for you."

To see the rest of my projects as well as the rest of the CPC DT, head over to CPC and join up. You won't be sorry! It's such a fantastic place to hang out. You will be encouraged and inspired! The Design Team Delights gallery opens up on Wednesday, June 15th!

Thanks for stopping by today! I pray you have a joyful week!

Inky hugs,
Korin

Patriotic Sketch

Look! I posted this on the right day ;). Today's Sweet Stop sketch is another super easy one. I hope you'll grab it and play along! I am also playing with the Crazy 4 Cocoa Challenge over at The Sweet 'n Sassy Connection. If you love Cocoa Mouse then I invite you to join the fun!


My card features one of the Cocoa images and a sentiment from our new Patriotic Cocoa stamp set and the star image from Polka Dot Silhouettes. The fun diagonal paper is from Dots & Stripes Metropolitan pad by Echo Park.

Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy your weekend!

Take me out to the ball game...

This is somewhat late...ok, it's really late ;)....this is for last Saturday's Sweet Stop sketch....hopefully I will get tomorrow's posted TOMORROW ;).

It's a simple and fun layout and you still have time to play along :). The image is the Cocoa Loves Baseball digi and the sentiment if from the Happy Birthdays stamp set. The papers are from the Dots & Stripes Metropolitan paper pad.

Thanks for stopping by today! HAPPY FRIDAY!!

CAS Seashells & Scripture

I'm back! Sorry for the week off from posting....it wasn't my intention....it just sorta happened, but I'm back today with a super fast and easy CAS card for you.


I made this for today's SCS sketch....instead of using DP for the strips above and below the sentiment, I used stamped images from our newly release Beauty by the Sea stamp set. I originally planned on just masking the shells for a one-layer card, but I have such a hard time kicking the dimension habit that I decided to pop up three of the shells. I also added a bit of sparkle with a glitter pen and a couple of score lines with my score board.

Thanks for looking and for being patient with my often times sporadic posting. Life just doesn't always allow for blog posts ;).

Have a fabulous day!!
