A SPARKLE-y Sketch today!

Hi guys!

I'm back today with this week's Deconstructed Sketch and a familiar and FUN stamp company is sponsoring us today... SPARKLE CREATIONS!

I enjoyed being a guest designer for Sparkle a few months ago and was so excited when I found out she was sponsoring this week's Deconstructed Sketch!

Here is DS29:

...and here is my card using the brand new HOLIDAY EMILY- isn't she darling???  

I have to giggle at my stitching.  I just changed out a white thread spool and was in such deep thought about a phone call I was on that I had NO idea the stitching came out all whacked and backwards!  HA! Well, as time wouldn't permit, I kept it this way but it's kind of funky and growing on me, LOL!
I'm such a dork sometimes ;)

The PRIZE for this week's random winner is AWESOME!  TWO beautiful stamps, Charlotte with a Rose and Scooter Chloe are up for grabs this week!  Love them both!

Be sure to stop by SPARKLE CREATIONS and check out the super cute stamps for sale!  Also, you won't want to miss my Deconstructed team mates' creations for the week too:

Thanks for stopping by!

Joy in the Simple Moments...

Hi, everyone!

***Before I begin, please make sure you head over to the TGF Blog today for day 2 of previews! The Farmers and I are all taking turns for the rest of the week to bring you FIVE new releases this month! Don't miss it!***

I'm back today with my last post as Guest Designer for Sparkle Creations, wahh! Seriously, HOW fast did this month go, right?
Thank you SO much to Sparks, Steph, and the whole SCRS crew for having me- it's been so much fun!

This week we are playing along with Inspiration Card Sketches and using the above layout for the challenge today.  I ADORE this beautiful "Fall Charlotte" and paired with Crate Paper's "Farmhouse" line she is like a dream come true!   Here is my take on the challenge:

I added just a few buttons in the corner and finished them off with some Buttercream Twine (I think it's my new must-have color!) from The Twinery :)

Don't forget to stop by the entire SCRS Crew today for even MORE inspiration:


Thank you to ALL these beautiful ladies for having me this month- it's been a WONDERFUL experience!  xoxo,

"Adventure Bound" with 2 challenges in ONE!...

Hey, all!

I'm back today with not one...but TWO challenges in ONE with my Tuesday challenge and guest post for Sparkle Creations, and also my bi-weekly post for the Ribbon Carousel challenge!

Today at Sparkle Creations we have a " FAVORITE SONG" challenge.  Well, I have too many to choose just ONE...but a song very near and dear to my heart is "Life is a Highway", especially the Rascal Flatts version!  With all the amazing changes going on right now, I thought it was appropriate.

Oh- and speaking of change- this is NEVER easy, but I wanted to announce that I have had a WONDERFUL run with Stamping Bella and am moving on creatively from that team.  It was a fantastic seven months and I adore their stamps and you'll definitely still see them on my blog!  I love the girls and Em and know that our friendship doesn't know boundaries between design and everything else, so I can't wait to hang out with her again in L.A. next year :)   Thanks to the team for the fun camaraderie and this isn't goodbye...just...'see'ya around :)  Never easy though to walk away from something you love...is it?

Alrighty!  Today I'm using Bicycle Chloe, cuz she's ADVENTURE bound...on that highway we call life :)

The SCRS September Sale featuring the sweet "Emily"character is still going strong at SCRS, but you ONLY have til the 23rd, so be sure to check it out!

Last but not least, don't forget to visit the rest of the awesome SCRS girls:
******************************************

Last but not least, the fabric/felt on my card is for this week's Ribbon Carousel challenge, 'The FABRIC of our lives...":

I used some extra thick Celery grosgrain from Ribbon Carousel.com and a "Gluber" to make a rolled fabric flower...what do you guys think!?

Check out all the awesome SPONSORSHIP details on the RCC post today to see how you can enter to WIN a prize pack of felt!

Be sure to check out the RCC girls playing along this week, too!  They are wonderful, talented, and definitely worth visiting:

That's all for me today!  Whew!
Hope I've kept you entertained and I'll see you back here tomorrow!

Sparkle Creations Preview Day...

Hey, everyone!

I'm back with another post for Sparkle Creations and today we are previewing a cute new stamp from the upcoming September release, "Mummy Oliver".   I love him, and my boys were already staking their claim to this card today so it looks as if I'll have to make a duplicate, LOL!



The September Release for Sparkle Creations is coming soon- Saturday the 10th, to be exact!  There are tons of tricks and treats w/ this month's release- you will not be disappointed!  Also, this month at SCRS we are showcasing the sweet EMILY character, so all Emily stamps are going to be 15% from 9/10 through 9/23!

Jessica Diedrich <--you are here!

I used today's Deconstructed Sketch #18 for my card today.  Check it out:

That's it for me, for now, but actually I'll be back in a bit with another DS18 card and another fun guest post to share!  Thanks, as always, for sticking with me!

A sketch with some SPARKLE...

....as in, Sparkle Creations!

{{{PLEASE Scroll Down for my Ribbon Carousel post featuring the new BANTASTIC set by The Greeting Farm!}}}

Hey, everyone!  Happy Tuesday and I hope you've enjoyed your holiday weekend.  DH has been away working all weekend, so we spent the days relaxing, staying in our PJ's, crafting, reading, watching movies, baking chocolate chip cookies and staying out of the rain.  It's been raining for 2 days straight and that's OK- we really needed it!

I also spent some time coloring for a VERY exciting announcement today...my sweet friend Sparkle Smith and her fabulous DT coordinator Stephanie Kraft have asked me to join the Sparkle Creations crew as September guest!  I am very excited and honored to be working amongst such talent.  Sparks and I go back a few in the crafting world and I adore her and her cute stamp line!  (she's also my CHA 'homie', as I'm sure you've seen on Facebook or around blog land, LOL...and makes a great taxi partner as well!  Right, Sparks? )

Speaking of rain...the temps have cooled a bit and it's starting to remind me of Fall whether I like it or not, LOL!    Today's challenge is to create with THIS sketch by DT member (and my Farmer friend!), Kim Yu:

Here is my card and take on the sketch (albeit a bit 'tweaked' :) using the adorable Broomstick Lucy stamp:

I have to say that Sparkle Creations stamps are awesome in quality.  REALLY awesome.  They come untrimmed red rubber and also can be mounted easily on cling foam, also available in the Sparkle Creations store!

I'll leave you with some fantastic inspiration featuring this week's challenge:

I hope you'll play along in the sketch challenge and you can visit THIS page for all the info and details of how to enter and qualify for the weekly prize drawing!  I'll be back in a short while with a preview of the September releases at SCRS, so thanks as always for staying tuned and thanks for the warm welcome, as well!

Chapter 29: What makes YOU Shine....or SPARKLE?...

CHAPTER 29: What makes you SHINE?  (or SPARKLE :)

`Why, what are YOUR shoes done with?' said the Gryphon. `I mean, what makes them so shiny?'

Alice looked down at them, and considered a little before she gave her answer. `They're done with blacking, I believe.'

`Boots and shoes under the sea,' the Gryphon went on in a deep voice, `are done with a whiting. Now you know.'

`And what are they made of?' Alice asked in a tone of great curiosity.

`Soles and eels, of course,' the Gryphon replied rather impatiently: `any shrimp could have told you that.'

`If I'd been the whiting,' said Alice, whose thoughts were still running on the song, `I'd have said to the porpoise, "Keep back, please: we don't want YOU with us!"'

`They were obliged to have him with them,' the Mock Turtle said: `no wise fish would go anywhere without a porpoise.'

`Wouldn't it really?' said Alice in a tone of great surprise. 

Hello everyone!  We are back for our first challenge of September with some EXCITING news!
