Hey Friends!
It's time again for the Paper Sweeties Sketch Inspiration Challenge! School started last Tuesday here in town. So I went with a school theme for my card. School buses will be running and children will be walking to school. It's time to be aware and keep a special look out for those little ones crossing the streets.:-)
Here is my card for this month's challenge...
I started with a red Bazzill card stock base and layered it with black and more Bazzill from their new Nordic Pines release. I colored and paper pieced the sweet Sophie image. Her little outfit, sentiment, and books are from the stamp set So Proud of You. I popped her up against a MME sticker label. I used chalk to draw the stars and numbers. I highlighted the math book and added twine. Black pearls were added to finish off the card. This card will be going out to my sweet little niece, Sophia. Below is a photo of Sophia and her brother, Grayson.
There is some very exciting news to tell you about Paper Sweeties!!! Debbie is now offering Sweet Cuts for the the Sweeties, which are Abigail, Emma, Jake, and Sophie!!! If you love cutting dies instead of snipping with the scissors, you will love this wonderful new addition! Also, please note that bundle packages are available for 20% savings!:-) Here is a photo of where the cut line will be for the die...
I didn't use the die on the above card, because I am anxiously awaiting for them by mail. But, you will see it used on my next card for the pre-release on September 13th. So, please stay tuned!
As stated above, the card was made for my sweet little niece, Sophia. She lives in Tennessee, so we don't see her or her brother, Grayson too often. But, they came up last fall for a visit and we had a great time visiting! Here is the photo...

Maria, this card for your niece is so cute. I really like her outfit and the rulers in the bg are perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour niece is a beauty and they are both just darling children. It is so hard, I'm sure, not getting to see them often. I am sure they love getting a card from their sweet Aunt.
