Technostamper's Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge #95

Hey guys, are your ready for a new challenge (or two). I think this is such an easy sketch, it could be used for just about any size image with a little imagination. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Remember when you play along to leave a link on Mister Linky at the end of this post. And when uploading online please use the keyword TSSC95. Thanks!

Here is this week's sketch....

Of course I combined it with the new Latenightstamper's sketch for the upcoming week. The new challenge over there will be to make a gift. I am going to have fun with this one. There are literally hundreds of things that can be altered into gifts in my studio, lol. Maybe I will use up a few of them. Here is a picture of the card and my gift tin together.



Here is the card alone

More guy cards.

Ok, I have been so busy the last few day I have not had a chance to post. Our new pastor and his family are here! We are so excited around our church right now. They are from California and are just the most awesome family ever--I feel so bad for the church that he left to come to us.

I just took over the women's ministry at our church and I have been busy creating a new blog for our it. You can check it out here if you want. St. John's Women's Ministry Blog

I am catching up on some more cards for the Latenightstamper's challenge--masculine cards. I actually made four cards but you will have to wait until Veteran's Day to see the other two.

This first card is a hybrid card. I used the tag image from the My Digital Studio--so cool how we can make it any size we want. The rest is traditional stamping and paper crafting.



And this next one is more for the younger boy I guess--although I would send it to some of my adult male friends. So I guess it just depends. What do you think?




Card 1
Stamps: It's Your Birthday
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Merry Moments DP, Whisper White
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Other: Ribbon


Card 2
Stamps: Animal Crackers
Paper: Taken With Teal, Whisper White. Holiday Lounge DP

Come on over and play along with the challenge. It is a good one!

See ya later,

A guy Christmas Card

Yep, I am still working with this week's challenge at Latenightstampers it is to create masculine cards. This is also for the SUDSOL CASE challenge for this week. We are to case a sample from the Stampin Success magazine that SU sends us demos. The sample that was chosen for this week is shown below my sample.


I really don't use this adorable truck that often. But it is such a cute stamp set.

Stamps: Loads of Love and Loads of Love accessories
Paper: Real Red, Whisper White and Christmas Cocoa Specialty DP
Ink: Basic Black, Always Artichoke
Other: makers, watercolor pencils, blender pen, large white brad, small circle punch

Hope you are having a fabulous day!

Holiday Plate

This is the project we are doing at this month's clubs. I think it is sooooo cool. I have only designed two centers so far but I am loving it. What do you think? What a fun idea and so nice to have a spot that is constantly changing with the different holiday's! It was really hard to get a decent picture with the glare on the glass so I have the centers posted alone at the end of this post. Hope you enjoy! This is only one plate with centers that can be changed out for different holidays, seasons or events. I glued a piece of black cardstock to the back of the plate so you would not see the hanger through the plate. The centers are attached with velcro.

Christmas Plate...



Thanksgiving/fall plate



centers alone...




I am excited to make many more of these centers and change them out often. I was thinking it would be cute to even have personal ones for family birthdays. Maybe with their baby picture on them. Hmmm the possibilities are endless!

Happy Tuesday!

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 94

Getting ready for another week. That mean that I have another sketch challenge and of course another challenge on the Latenightstamper's group. Remember I will be combining these as often as possible. This actually gives you a tiny sneak peek on the challenge that will begin tomorrow on the Latenightstamper's group. The challenge for the week is to create a Masculine card. We all need those and most of us struggle with them so I am excited to see the creations for it. I think this sketch is perfect for it. I hope you will play along with the sketch and of course you can also play along with the masculine challenge too! Here is the Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge number 94.......


And of course my masculine card.....





I always think of this tree when I think masculine?? Wonder why. I thought I would keep it simple and I am quite happy with it. Not sure it is real manly but certainly not girly, lol.

Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Trendy Trees.
