Sweet Cheeks

Hi Everyone
This Sunday's challenge for the Simply Sunday challenge over at Getting Cricky is Designers Choice- Anything goes. WOOHOO! Well I just got my stamp set Food for Thought in the mail so I thought I would showcase a card with one the sayings on this set. Actually there are a couple of sayings that you can mix and match and this "Sweet Cheeks" is one of them.

As you can see from the picture of the set below, you can do some of your spacing with some of the words. Which I totally love, because sometimes you need to fill a bigger area of a card. This stamp set is really verstile. I love the font Kristal used on it.

How cute is this set. You can check out all of her stamp sets by clicking here. Make sure you stop by tomorrow to see what else I have made with this stamp set. Friday we are having a Blog Hop to showcase all the new stamp sets with lots of blog candy and a LIVE U-Stream video Friday at 6pm PST. Make sure you come and join us for a chance to win some awesome blog candy.

SSD DT- Memorial Day Challenge

Hi Everyone,

It's Becka with Creations with Becka here. This week Sweet Sassy Diva asked her design team to come up with a Memorial Day project. For Memorial Day every year my family and friends all go to Eagle Lake, CA and camp for the whole weekend. We have had the same campsite for the last 5 years. We have a great time biking, hiking and playing games. So to show our apprecation for our freedom, I thought I would make this layout using Stand and Salute cartridge.

Here is how I set it up on the gypsy.

I used the Stand and Salute cartridge
2- 4.25x6.25 red photomats
blue cardstock
patterned paper
