And now on to my project!

This was my first time using the stamps from Sweet 'n Sassy and I have to say I loved them! They are a high quality stamp and they have some of the cutest images, backgrounds and words to choose from. 

The set I used was called "Your Friendship".  When I saw the stamp that said "You are my sunshine" I knew I had to have it! My oldest niece Samantha was nicknamed "Shine" almost from the moment she was born.  When she was a baby, that was her song! So anything with "sunshine" reminds me of her! I knew I had the perfect photos for these stamps.
"Your Friendship"
 Here's the layout I created using the stamp set and our wonderful bakers twine.
Here's Shine!
 
I just loved these beautiful flowers from the stamp set. I just stamped with my archival ink from Ranger on patterned paper and cut them out. Lots of fussy cutting but I loved the result!


I then added some of my favorite bakers twine from The Twinery in Cappuccino. 

 I used Versamark ink with the flower stamp to create a subtle pattern on the top portion of the cardstock.
I also used the sentiment stamp on a label.

And since I loved the stamp set so much, I decided to do another quick project and made a card!

I did some heat embossing on this one using the stamps. 
The sentiment is from the set as well.
Then of course added some of the fabulous Charcoal bakers twine
from The Twinery.

 Don't forget to leave a comment and then you can head to Janette Olen's blog for the next stop on the hop!

Again, thanks so much for stopping by!
