SugarPea Designs 1st Birthday Bash Blog Hop

     At the beginning of last year I was blessed to be one of the original SugarPea Designs DT members.  Wendy Ramlakhan was just starting her new stamp line and I got to help introduce my card making friends to her fun line of stamps.

     It's hard to believe that a whole year has already gone by and SugarPea Designs is celebrating its first birthday.  Wendy has given me the honor of being able to join in a Birthday Bash Blog Hop to celebrate.

     I decided to use the Totes Ma Goats stamps set to create my card for the hop.  I also decided to add a bit of 3D effect with some paper tole.  Mr. Goat's face, ear, and bangs are all popped up on foam.  I love stitched dies and used several to create the background.  The fence was hand pieced and the sky is a watercolor wash.

     This card will be going to a close friend of ours at church that we fondly call Grouchy.

Wendy is offering a $100 Gift Certificate to someone who comments on all of the blogs in the hop so make sure you check out all the great SugarPea Designs projects the participants have to share with you.  Here is a list of all the stops on the hop.

SugarPea Designs Sweet Sneaks-Day 4

     Welcome to the last day of Sweet Sneak peeks from SugarPea Designs and my last card as a Design Team member.  This is such an awesomely talented team and it's been a pleasure to be one of the original DT member for Wendy's stamps

     This set just thrilled me when I saw it.  It's SUPER cute and it's called Spare Me.

     I kept my design pretty simple but used several of the stamps in the set to create a sign in the fashion of the old bowling alleys.  The light blue base, red sparkles, and teal diamonds were all embossed.  I outlined the blue base in black and added die cut letters to the diamonds, backing them with black cardstock.

     There's nothing like the ocean is there.  Our Day 3 Sweet Sneak is the Seaside Wishes set.

SugarPea Designs Sweet Sneaks-Day 2

     Our second Sweet Sneak from SugarPea Designs is the Twinkle Twinkle set.  She and her teddy are enjoying the view.

     I wish you could see how glittery the sky looks from the Wink of Stella glitter pen I used.  It's really pretty and makes the stars pop.  I did a bit of paper piecing on this one for her pajamas and the curtains and bedspread.
