Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 96

Wow, I can not believe that we are only 4 sketches away from 100 sketches! I am going to have to think of something to do to celebrate that milestone! Any ideas of what to do?

I actually had a bit of a hard time with this week's sketch at first but then I just moved the tag a bit and now I like it. As usual I am combining my sketch challenge with the Latenightstamper's weekly challenge--this we we are to make cards for our favorite holiday! Could be any holiday but what holiday is better than Christmas? The day our Lord was born the excitement of all the children, the fun and festive energy all over the place! I just LOVE Christmas.

My cards also fit the SUDSOL set sampler challenge for the week which is Scenic Season. So without further jabbering I will get on to this week's Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge #96. I hope you will chose to play along, I love seeing what you come up with. Please come back and add your link to Mister Linky at the end of this post so that you can be included in the recap on Sunday Night.

Royal Blog Tour

Oh the things that you can do with our Jumbo Stampin Around Wheels. I am excited to be able to share with you a few items I have made to showcase one of our brand new Jumbo Wheels called Bright Blessings this can be found at the bottom of page 27 in our brand new catalog. If you need a catalog please let me know by sending me an e-mail to technostamper@roadrunner.com and I will be happy to get one out to you! All of the following items were made with just a handful of supplies. And I am now ready to decorate my table and home for the Thanksgiving Holiday!

Here is the short list of what was used to create ALL of the projects.

Stamps: Bright Blessings Jumbo Wheel
Ink: Dusty Durango
Paper: Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry And Razzelberry Designer Paper
Other: Brads, chocolate chip re-inker, Crushed Curry polka dot ribbon, twill, distressing tool, Hodgepodge hardware, wooden napkin ring, plate, cloth napkin, dollar store frame, planter box from Jo Ann's $3 find in clearance section, candle, Mini picture frames from dollar store.

Here are pictures of the individual items. First the card. I had so much fun with this card, all the distressing was so fun. That is one of my favorite things about fall all the fabulous textures!

Next up is the candle. I love to make wraps for candles they are so easy to do and add so much to the candle. Just don't burn the candle with the paper wrap on it, lol!



Next is a place setting for my holiday table. The plate is first.


The napkin ring.


With the matching napkin too!



And you always need a little favor for people to take home so I altered this tiny little picture frame with one of my favorite verses ever.


Then to help decorate the rest of the dining room to match the table I altered this planter I found for three dollars at JoAnn's. There are mints in the middle one!


Here is a close up view of the planter box.


And of course no room is complete without pictures of my son! And he indeed transforms common days into Thanksgivings! What a fabulous quote!
