Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 330 (TSSC330)

Monday again already!  Time flies when the weather is nice!  Hope  you are enjoying your days around you too -- good or bad weather -- life is good!  Hope you find time to play along with the challenge this week--I know it is going to be a good week--with lots of fabulous samples!  Here is the sketch.....

 

I really thing it is going to be a great one.  My card is pretty easy as I just got home from a weekend away for a rugby championship with my son.  Great fun!  But didn't quite leave me with much time to create tonight, so I went directly to my butterflies as I don't think you can EVER go wrong with them!  Mixed in a few new in colors and I am loving it.

Stamps: Papillon Potpourri, Love and Sympathy, A Dozen Thoughts

Paper: Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey, Whisper White and Sahara Sand,Moonlight Paper Pack

Ink: Lost Lagoon, Sahara Sand

Other: butterfly punches, rhinestones,

Now for the AMAZING design team samples....

Those are just so fun and all so different!  Love that! Now it is your turn to play along.

But be sure to come on back after and link up your card to the linky tool below.  Here are some basic rules for the challenge....

1. You have a full week to play along!
2. Create a new card using the sketch as your inspiration.
3. Use any products you choose.
4. Add your card to your blog or other on-line spot and link back to this challenge.
5. Come back here and add a direct link to your sample for the challenge and NOT you home page of your blog--people will not look for your challenge card--trust me.
6. And this one is not really a rule but a request--get rid of that word verification!  It makes it hard for us to comment on your samples.  It is easier for you to delete the spam then for us to jump through tons of hoops to comment.  If your put your comments on moderation you do not have to worry about spam--you will have the option to delete it BEFORE it ever goes on your blog so you will ALWAYS be safe!
7. Have fun and tell you friends to play too! 
   Add your sample below
   Thanks for playing along!

Flashback Friday!

I love digging though my older sets and finding ones that have not been used in quite a while for this fun Flashback Friday challenge!  This week i found the old Ageless Adornment set--I used to love the butterfly in this set and used it all the time--I still have a hard time reading the font for the sentiments though I think it is so pretty but too small and fine for me to read, lol.  Getting old stinks!  So I used a sentiment from the current Love and Sympathy set.

Here is a picture of the Ageless Adornment set....

I love to stamp on Crumb Cake card stock and then re-stamp a part onto Whisper White and cut it out and add it--really makes it pop!  I especially love this technique for snowmen. 

Stamps: Ageless Adornment, Love and Sympathy
Paper: Crumb Cake and Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black and Crumb Cake
Other: scallop edge punch, crumb cake ribbon, embossing folder

Want to see more ideas with older sets? Check out what Nicole did for the challenge this week--remember that is who thought of this great Flashback Friday challenge to begin with--I just hopped on it with her!

Happy Friday!  The beginning of a holiday weekend--and sadly the end of Summer.
