Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 309 (TSSC309)

It amazes me that I have been doing these challenges for 309 weeks!  That is crazy!  I am so glad you find time to play along.  I hope you do this week too.  It is a super easy one.

I kept my card super simple but I love it. It is so springy looking. 

 I just love tulips--I am always so excited when they begin to bloom.  This year I may have an issue though my two new puppies love to dig up EVERYTHING! I may not have any flowers, or even grass this summer.  UGGGG.  Good thing they are so loveable and cute.  

Stamps:  Blessed Easter, Express Yourself

Paper: Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Watercolor Wonder DP

Ink: Basic Black, Tangerine Tango

Other: markers

Now for the rest of the amazing TSSC team--they are so creative and talented.

Chevron Border Punch

Still struggling to get my mojo back after being sick, having a flooded craft room and kid issues, lol.  But none the less it is helping me to make some simple cards, which are perfect for people who don't like to add extra postage so it is all good.  Today I am making a card with my least favorite paper from the free SAB paper pack.  Can you see it peeking though the punched out shapes.  I can not bear to use it any other way--just way too busy for my taste.  I do think the card is cute though--what do you think?

Stamps: Express Yourself

Paper: Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe, Basic Black and Whisper White

Ink: Basic Black

Other: rhinestones, Chevron Border punch

Chevron Border Punch

Hope you are having a fabulous week!
