Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 334 (TSSC334)

Welcome to Monday and the new sketch challenge for this week!  It is a pretty simple sketch and one that would be a great starting point to any occasion card.  Here is the sketch....

Stamps:  Dotty Angles, A Dozen Thoughts, Pictogram Punches
Paper: Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Whisper White
Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow, Curshed Curry
Other: Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 333 (TSSC333)

What a great weekend I had.  We had our women's retreat with our church and it was amazing as always.  So nice to spend time with others who really "get it".  The group was filled with some amazing and God loving women.  And one of the other things that was really awesome is that they served Starbucks coffee all weekend!  Oh my I forgot how much I love that coffee--I get converted by the crazy amount of Tim Hortons around us.  You can find one every other block I swear--but there  are only a few Starbucks around and they are not on my regular routes.  I was loving it!  Hence my design for this week's sketch......

First I will show you the sketch....

And my coffee inspired card........

The inside says with enough coffee I could rule the world temporarily!  I really love this set but for some strange reason I do not use it much.  Guess it just don't really fit the occasions I make most of my cards for.  Here are the supplies used....

Stamps: Perfect Blend, And Many More
Paper: Soft Suede, Flowerpot Designer Paper, Whisper White
Ink: black
Other: candy dots

Here is the rest of the team's designs....

Try Stamping on Tuesday!

My week again to post for the Try Stamping on Tuesday Challenge!  And we are back to doing both a sketch and a twist.  This week's twist is to use the colors Orange, Yellow and Brown.  Here is my sample.....

I love the tree in this Hostess stamp set, Nuts About You.  I mixed it with the Color Me Autumn DP for the cute little anniversary card.  (or maybe just a love you card)  The little heart carved in the tree that says You & Me is my favorite!  Here is this week's sketch...


And the supplies used for my card...

Stamps Nuts About You, greeting set?
Paper: Soft Suede, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White and Color Me Autumn DP
Ink: Soft Suede
Other: markers, candy dots.

Hope your week is starting off great!  Thanks for stopping by.  See you soon.

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 331 (TSSC331)

Yippee!  What a fun weekend--my son won his first football game, my great  niece turned 3 and had a big party, the Buffalo Bills won their first game, our new vicar gave his first sermon today and it was wonderful and I was able to get all the final supplies that my son needed for school!  Gonna be a good week--except for the fact that I took so many pictures this weekend that my camera battery is dead so now I can't get a picture of my sample for this week--it will be charged by morning and I will add my sample as soon as I can.  But have no fear--that don't keep us from starting this week's challenge--hope you find time to play along.  Remember you have a full week to play along.  Here is this week's sketch.....

It is a pretty easy one so I know you will have lots of great ideas for it.  The design team sure did check them out below!
