Sweet 'n Sassy May Release Blog Hop

It's May release day for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and, as usual, we are celebrating with a blog hop of all of the new stamps.  If you started at the beginning, you are a little over half way and I bet  you are amazed at what you have seen.  Sweet 'n Sassy is THE best stamp company for offering a variety of stamps and this month is the ultimate - elegant wedding images, vintage cars and cute little mice with baseballs - just a few of what you have seen.  

If you started with me - you might want to head back to the beginning: Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog.

I had the fun of premiering two sets that are perfect for Father's Day or other masculine events.  My first card uses the set Gone Fishin'.  Isn't this one of the sweetest faces ever?

I plan to use this as a Father's Day card, but the set comes with other appropriate sentiments like "Happy Retirement" or just simply "Gone Fishin'!
My second masculine card uses the set All-Star Cocoa.  This set comes with Cocoa on a football and one a baseball, but given the men in my family are heavily into baseball season - specifically the Colorado Rockies - I HAD to use the baseball with Rockies colors.

A nice thing about this set is that while it includes some fun Father's Day sentiments, it also has a "#1 Coach" sentiment.

Card details are at the bottom of this post.

Don't forget to join us at 8:00 p.m. tonight in the Sweet 'n Sassy Gallery on splitcoaststampers for the official release party.  And...while you are waiting for that, be sure to hop and comment on everybody because Sweet 'n Sassy is giving away the ENTIRE release to one lucky hopper who comments.  YEAH!

Next on the hop is DJ Rants. Here's the whole list:
