If you didn't see my apology for being late in the last post--and you feel you need one, lol! You can see it in the previous post.
Here is the sketch for this week.
Sorry for the delay guys, hubby has been really sick and he finally decided to go to the hospital yesterday. They did not figure out what the problem was exactly yet but they did a bunch of test and we all know that means a bunch of time and stress, lol! Anyway, here are my top three picks for last week's sketch, I really enjoyed all the cards this week, so many over the top! Thanks so much to all who played along, I really appreciate it!
Remember that you can click on the small preview image to see the full card and read the details. While you are there let them know what a great job they did!
This is one of those cards that did not turn out any thing like I was thinking. This week's challenge was a color challenge. Red, Yellow and Green. I chose the new shades of these colors. Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz.
There are a few sets I have not used as much as I should have from this catalog. I got too busy with the new catalog release. So I pulled out the fairy set from the mini and made this cute card. I hope you enjoy it.
Moving right along. It is getting so close to the kids going back to school and I have so many ideas for different things I want to make for organizing, gifts for teachers, gifts for classmates you know all those fun things. I am in luck with that since this week's new challenge on Latenightstampers is a Back To School Theme! Works for me. So of course I combined my sketch challenge for this week with that challenge. I hope you find time to play along with the sketch this week it is an easy one.
I enjoyed all the samples for last week's sketch, hope you had time to check them out. It is such a busy time of year with end of summer coming up so fast. If you didn't have time to see them all I think it would be well worth your time to at least check out the top three for the week. You can view the entire card and original post by clicking on the preview pictures. Thanks to everyone for playing along this week. Got an easy one coming up for sketch 136!
I am so happy with this card. It is just perfect for my son's first day of school, which is not until Sept. 7th so I am ahead of the game. I am still working with the Big on Christmas set. If you didn't see the last two card check out the previous post.
This week we were obviously challenge to created something for the first day of school. I had many ideas but not much time. I am really glad I decided to do a card since I love how it came out. I hope you enjoy it too! Be sure to check out the rest of the Blogger's challenge players by clicking the logo on the top right of my blog.
I love to use this stamp set Big on Christmas for birthdays and other occasions. It is so easy just color the parts you want with a marker and then search through your stamps fro other images that would work. At this point I have only done this with the Happy Holidays one, if you can think of a way to use the others I would love to hear it. I am blank.
Well we made it through another week--praise God! So glad you stopped by today, I hope you will find time this week to play along with my sketch challenge for the week. I think it is one of my favorites. Really a fun one -- IMHO! Did you happen to see the top three from last week--if not check out the previous post. Fun cards.
Here is the new sketch for your inspiration....
This was a fun sketch, I was excited to see the samples. I found it to be a bit "different" and that always inspires wonderful cards! I hope you found time to check them out. These are my top three picks for the week. I really think you should take a moment to check them out. They are fabulous and you will be glad you did! You can view the original post and full card by clicking the samples below. Be sure to leave a comment to let them feel the love!
OK, so me and blogger are at it again. The only way I was able to get to my dashboard and editing area was to go to the help section, post a question and then go to my account. It will not let me sign in any other way! I just keep getting sent back to the sign in screen, I have deleted my cookies, cleared my cashe, even erased my history and restarted my computer, nothing works. Very frustrating, but at least I am in now--not sure if I will be able to get back in but I am dealing with one problem at a time, lol.
Have you ever bought a stamp and then every time you look at it after you get it home you wonder what the heck you were thinking. Well this is one of those stamps. Believe it or not I have had this stamp for at least 8-9 years and have never used it. So since this week's blogger's challenge was birthdays and I don't really HAVE to stick to Stampin Up only I thought what the heck might as well use it once. I think the problem is that it is too big, I could have cut off the sentiments and moved them around but I wanted to use it as is one time. Makes for a pretty boring card. (layout wise). Anyway, here is my card, I am sure you will find many other much better samples from the rest of the team. Remember to click on the logo that can be found at the top right hand side of my blog.
I love this cute card style. The top note piece is the part that lifts to show the inside of the card, the base pieces do not open. Cute don't you think. This was created for this week's Featured Stamper on the Demo Only group Stampin Connection. Daisies are my favorite flowers (any version of them-black eyed susans etc.) So of course I had to have this new stamp set. Every Moment.
Thought I would share another sample made for both of these challenges.......
First is my sketch challenge for this week TSSC134 Come on over and play along. And as I said in the last post the LNS challenge for the week is Under the Sea. Anything that reminds you of the sea or ocean.
Here we are again. We are just finishing off our awesome week of VBS and so that is the frame of mind I am in for this card. There were a few young teens that volunteered and did such a fantastic job I thought it would be fun to make them some simple but cute cards. This is one for one of the boys. Nice and easy but to the point. This card will also fit with this week's challenge on Latenightstamper == under the sea.
I hope you have time to play along this week. Don't forget to come on back and leave your link at the end of this post so that we can all see what you come up with. Here is the sketch....
I swear this gets harder each week! What wonderful samples this week! I hope you had time to check them out. I very seriously suggest you at the very least check out these three--these are my favs for the week. Remember that you can click on each preview to see the full card and the original post on the creator's blog. Be sure to let them know what a great job they did with the sketch.
What a fun sketch Lisa had for us today. I do love sketches, but you already knew that. I am having so much fun with this darling doggie set. I wasn't sure I really wanted it at first but than thought what the heck, I am so glad I got it. Fun fun fun. Thought this would be a great card for a child when you miss their birthday (whoops).
So yea, I am really late! (read the last post if you are looking for a reason) I am thrilled to show you the top three cards from last week's sketch. So many great ones it was a hard choice, but I am going with the following three cards. Remember you can visit the creator's blog by clicking on the picture--then you will see the whole card in all it's glory!
I know I said I would be back later on Monday but things didn't go as planned. I don't know about you guys but my son is off from school for Summer Vacation and every time he asks to do something, swimming, fishing, biking, etc... I hate to say no since he will be back in school in a few weeks and then our time will be very limited--(sad face here). So sorry to say but you guys have been coming after VBS and my son--and I am not sorry--he is growing WAY TOO FAST!
I did make this card earlier this week for the Latenightstamper's challenge for the week. This week we are focusing on circles. Pretty easy--just make sure your sample has at least one circle. Of course I just made the whole card a circle. I think this little doggie set is just too stinkin cute.
Gonna be late with the top three and sample for this week's sketch. I have unexpectedly been away from home the last few days and will be in and out the next few. Here is the sketch and hopefully I will get the rest posted by morning. Thanks for understanding. Hope you find time to play along!
