Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 249 (TSSC249)

I am thrilled to be back to hosting my sketch challenge again.  I am also so happy with the crazy incredible talent of my new team--I am sure you agree that they are fabulous.  And of course so are you guys--my readers and those who play along.  I so appreciate you all! Hope you have time to play along this week--and tell your friends to play too!

A few quick rules to playing

• New sketch is posted each Monday morning and you have an entire week to play along.
• Top three will be picked on Monday morning as well and will be posted before the new sketch
• Be sure to link directly to your card and not just to the home page of your blog--people will not take the time to look and you will not get any nice comments that way.
• You can play along as many times as you want. So if you love the sketch why not use it a few times and link each of them.

So now for this week's sketch...

Here is my cards--I have two cards for you.  The first one uses these cute little apples--you do know that this darling canning set is still current and can still be purchased right?!  The sentiment is long retired though--sad face.

Stamps: Perfectly Preserved, retired sentiment

Paper: Real Red, Lucky Limeade, Whisper White, Tea For Two DP

Ink: Real Red, Lucky Limeade

Other: Vine Stree Embossing folder, framelits, Lucky Limeade ribbon

And the second one is not only for my sketch challenge but also for the LNS challenge to use blue as your main color and the Paper Players to make a Sympathy card and the CAS206 on Splitcoaststampers.

Stamps: Loving Thoughts, Papillon Potpourri
Paper: Marina Mist DP and Card Stock, Whsiper White, Basic Black, Bashful Blue
Ink: Basic Black, Marina Mist
Other: border tape, ribbon, circle punch, butterfly punch, Markers

Now for the rest of the team....

A little bit of this and a little bit of that!

A few different things to post today--I needed a break from the Christmas cards so I played along with the SUDSOL sketch challenge and made a few giftables for the Latenightstamper's challenge.  I finally broke down and purchased this Perfectly Preserved stamp set and I am so glad I did--it is so fun to play with.  I love the Real Red with Pool Party, don't you.

 

Stamps: Perfectly Preserved

Paper: Real Red, Pool Party, Whisper White, DP

Ink: Real Red, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party

Other: ribbon, markers, small oval punch, blender pens

 

Next are a few simple giftables.  Nothing too fancy just quick and cute.  The first on is for someone who loves to do  her nails.  I created the little pocket/box to hang off a bottle of nail polish remover and hold some nail stuff.  I was not happy about the fact that I could not find matching files, and such.  Oh well it is the thought that counts right, lol!

 

And finally a candle using a bunch of pre-cut papers that I no longer needed.  They were left over from a class project so I rolled them up and attached them to the outside of a gladd votive holder.  Finished it off with a strip of cardstock and some retired felt snowflakes. 

 

That is it for tonight--I will be back in the morning to post the new sketch for the week so be sure and stop back--Goodnight!

Pinterest Inspired

Tough week for blogging--seems we have had two virus around here--one made me sick and one made my computer sick!  Both are feeling much better today.

This week on Latenightstampers we are focusing on projects inspired by Pinterest.  If you are not a member and need to be sent an invite leave me a comment with your e-mail and I will send you one.

Both of the cute little nugget candy holders were posted on there--I did some small changes to both but the basic idea is posted by many in many different places.  I believe the little jar may of originated at
Dawn Olchefske's 's blog but not sure.  Anyway, I plan to make one of these for all the bowlers on my bowling league.

 

They both hold four nugget candies.  Can't decide which to do.  The two tag die one may be just a teensy bit easier but not really sure--any thought???

Hope you have a great long weekend!
