Hopping with Skipping Stones and Scor-Pal!

Hello, friends! Thanks for stopping by today!  It has been 3 weeks since my surgery!  Things are starting to look better!  Yeah!  I actually made it downstairs yesterday to work on the project I am sharing today.  It was the first time I even tried to do anything creative since the surgery.  I so miss it.  But I am confident that things are going to start to return to normal, and I couldn't be happier about that. :)  I miss you all.

Well today Skipping Stones Design is excited to be releasing another BEAUTIFUL stamp set! It is called Beautiful Botanicals and it is a must have!!!



 And, even better, Skipping Stones has joined up with the fabulous Scor-Pal team for an amazing blog hop! The hop will begin at the Scor-Pal blog and will finish off at the Skipping Stones blog! If you came from Tami's blog you are already on track! If not, you may want to hop on back to Scor-Pal to join in on ALL the fun! Don't forget to leave comments! Skipping Stones Design will be giving away one stamp set to a lucky winner AND Scor-Pal is giving away a Scor-Buddy, so there is lots to win!

 So here is the new sketch for this week at Skipping Stones:


The sketch was created by the fabulous Angi Barrs.  I hope you take the challenge and play along with us!  *You do NOT have to have Skipping Stones Design stamps to play along!*

And here is what I created:



It is actually a thin folder.  I used the Scor-Buddy and scored lines to make the folds.  Really, I just winged the design.  And it's good enough for me.  :)



I have some sheets that go inside.  You can see them now like this:



I could leave them as is, as stationary.  But I either want to hand-write notes from each of us on the cards, or make mini scrapbook pages.  I've already made a couple, and I will let my kids help by making their own too.  :)

Here are the two I created:



The beautiful papers are all from The ScrapCake, from their The Bright Side of Life collection.  Yep, still lovin' that one!  :)

And of course, I used the new Beautiful Botanicals stamp set.

Now it's YOUR turn! Join in the sketch challenge this week by creating a card using the featured sketch and link up to the Skipping Stones site for your chance to win FREE stamps!

Score!

Hi everyone!  Thanks for all the nice comments and emails asking how I have been doing.  I'm doing pretty good.  My CPM machine for my leg is now gone!  I've been actually getting up off the couch!  Mind you...not much, but hey, it's progress!  :)  There is still pain, but my physical therapist says I am doing really good and I actually surprised him by doing something he didn't think I'd be able to doyet, so that's cool!

Well remember back in January when I guessed designed for Skipping Stones Design.  Well I was so happy when I found a message in my inbox telling me they loved my work and wanted to see more of it!  :)  They have asked me to join their team for a bit!  :)  I am excited about this, because it means more cards!  And of course, more stamping, which if you have known me for long at all you know that I love stamping! 

So today I get to share a new card with you that I made using a new stamp set from Skipping Stones Design.  You actually can't buy the stamp set yet, so this is a sneak of what is to come.  ;)   


My card uses the yet to be released, Beautiful Botanicals stamp set from SSD.  The papers are from The ScrapCake.  And then I used my new Scor-Buddy from Scor-Pal to do the bottom part of the card.  I scrored several lines of the bottom of my cardstock before I cut my card so it was still the same size I usually do (5.5 x 4.25).  I also scored a small piece of white cardstock and then tied it in the middle and added it on top of my card, for additional texture and design.  We actually have a hop coming up with Scor-Pal, so stay tuned for that.  :) 

This was the SSD sketch for this week:


The sketch was created by the fabulous Angi Barrs.  I hope you take the challenge and play along with us!  *You do NOT have to have Skipping Stones Design stamps to play along!*  Play along here
