SSD SKETCH 51 AND BLOG HOP

It is Tuesday, and not only is it our weekly sketch challenge at Skipping Stones Design, it is also the celebration of the release of a new set called "Sassy Snow".  I seriously LOVE this set....even though I don't  especially like snow, I love snowmen.  This set is soooo cute, and true to her witty and funny sets,  Heather designed this set with a couple fun sayings....like "does this snow make my butt look big", or "I smell carrots!"  I never thought about what a snowman may say, and laughed when I saw this set! 



To celebrate this new set being released we Stamp Tramps have some fun for everyone today....a blog hop to show off some ways to use this fun set, AND.......some BLOG CANDY!!  We also were very fortunate to recieve a gift package of beautiful laces and such from the very kind Leslie Christopher who has a wonderful etsy shop with super good deals on ribbons, trims, and vintage treasures.  It is called  "Christopher Pines".....you gotta check out the link.......COOL stuff!  AND...there is more!!! Leslie will give a lucky winner from each of our blogs  the same fun package of lace we recieved!   Believe me this was fun to get in the mail!  Isn't that nice of her!!  So...without blabbing on so much you lose interest in following along , let me move on.....here is the SSD sketch #51 from the fabulous Shannan Teubner....we have been so fortunate to work with this wonderful, talented gal.
Once Again... a very CAS design with huge creative potential.  You rock Shannan!  This is the card I created using the sketch, the SSD set "Sassy Snowmen", and some of Leslie's wonderful laces and trims she so graciously gave us!  Thanks Leslie!
I also used a copic marker that matched the CS I chose, and colored one of the pieces of sheer white ribbon lavender...really worked well!  I used a Spellbinders mitten die instead of the oval, which I thought fit the theme well.  The snowflakes on the lavender layer were stamped with versamark, and embossed with clear.  The scarf, mittens, and snowflake were colored with copics.

Lets get to the hop!!   You should have arrived here from Amy Tsurutas blog.  I am last on the list of gals on the hop, but if you just happened upon my blog today, you can go to Shannan Teubners blog, and begin the hop there.  If you lose your way, or the link is broken, just head on over to the Skipping Stones Design  blog for the whole list of both Stamp Tramps, and guest designers blogs to see everyones creations, and also don't forget to stop there to link your own creation following Shannans sketch to have a chance at being the next Wednesday Winner!  While there don't forget to go shopping at the store.

Now....for one last fun little detail....THE BLOG CANDY!  There will be two lucky winners on my blog today.....one will recieve Leslies package of lace and trims, and someone else will recieve a free SSD stamp set.....to have a chance at one of these goodies, just leave me a comment at the end of this post with info on how to reach you so I can get your candy to you!

Hope you all have a wonderful week that not only brings work, but a chance to create a little as well!  We are supposed to get some snow this week in the Black Hills, so this set kinda sets the mood ahead of time ya know?  LOL!  Thanks so much for stopping by, and reading this lengthy post today.  PLEASE leave a comment so you have a chance at the blog candy....plus I so love hearing from you, and in turn visiting your blogs!
