Hang in there!



Happy Saturday Everyone!!
You should know by now that it's time for a new sketch from The Sweet Stop.


 I'm excited to share with you a card I made using Your Next Stamp, Monkey Gone Bananas.  He is just super duper adorable and comes with a sentiment and 3 other little accessory images too.  (Leaves, Banana & Lotus Flower)  This is truly a versatile stamp set, perfect for Father's Day, Valentines, Birthdays, Thinking of you, etc...  This little guy will be seen on a birthday card real soon!
And right now this set is 35% off!!  :)


It's a little hard to tell from the photo but the leaves and the monkey are all popped up on foam tape for dimension.   The sentiment that I used is computer generated using the font, ChinaCat.

And for those YNS Fans, have you checked out the YNS Blog?  It features beautiful creations by all the YNS Starlet Designers (you will find me there today) all for your inspiration!  I hope you will stop by and check it out!

    Have alovely time with Tracy & the Copics class sounds amazing...... Love the backgound with those leaves that you used & as for the banana leaves - they're brilliant & i can see the dimension, both in your colouring & the way they sit on the card. Love your characterful monkey too.

    Now this is delightful! What a fun, fresh card - and your coloring is something to be admired! I often use 3D foam to pop up element and it gives the card so much texture and dimension - this is over the top sweet and fun! How fun to meet up with a friend - now that's a good day!
