4 in one Blogger's Challenge

Today's blogger's challenge was a color combo.  Taken with Teal, Real Red and Crushed Curry.  I decided to pull out some Christmas DP and use it for non-Christmas.  I think these are fun colors, don't you.  I combined this challenge with a few others

The first is the sketch challenge number 16 on Stampin Connection, second the CAS challenge on Stampin Connection which is to use a summer theme, and last but not least the Latenightstamper's Challenge to use new stamps from the current mini catalog.

Stamps: All a Flutter, Trendy Trees for sentiment
Paper: Crushed Curry, Real Red, Whisper White, Holiday Lounge DP
Ink: Basic Black
Other: markers, embossing folder, word window punch

Hope you are off to a fabulous start to the weekend!  Looking forward to some sun here, getting a little tired of clouds and rain!

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 116!

Welcome to week number 116 of my Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenges.

I hope you had a moment to check out all the wonderful samples from last weeks sketch!  Great job on that one.  If you seen something that caught your eye remember you can visit the original post and leave a comment by clicking on the link above the photo.

Now for this week's sketch.

I hope you can find time to play along, it is a fun one.   Remember if you do play to come on back and add your DIRECT link on Mister Linky Below!

Here is my sample--Clean and Simple, been loving this type of card lately!

I combined it with the Stampin Connection Clean and Simple challenge-use a stamp you have not used in a while. (I know it has not been THAT long since I used this but I liked how it worked with the sketch)

My card is a 4 and 1/4 by 4 and 1/4 square.  Love this size.

Stamps:  Flight of the Butterfly
Paper: Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Razzleberry Lemonade DP
Ink: Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo
Other: 1 inch and 1 1/4 inch circle punches, markers

Lots of challanges agian!

Here we go--I so wish that things would get back on track around here--people would stop getting sick, stop dying, stop interrupting my stampin time, lol.  Of course I am kidding --in a way.  I really don't want people to get sick or die--but they certainly are more important that stamping.  And besides I kind of like playing catch up and combining challenges.

I have two cards for the Stampin Connection Sketch Challenge #7, One for the CAS challenge number 6, which is a spring or Easter theme, on Stampin Connection. And of course one for the Latenightstampers challenge to add bling! (glitter)

Let's start with the sketch challenge.  The first one is kept really really simple and the second one is turned on it's side and has glitter paper and glitter around the heart to fit the Latenightstamper challenge too!

Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly, FYI

Paper: Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Sweet Pea paper pack

Ink: So Saffron, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip

Other: butterfly punch, markers

Stamps: Very Thankful (Ronald McDonald Set)

Paper: Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Sending Love Speciality Paper

Ink: Basic Black

Other: markers, word window punch, satin ribbon, glue pen, glitter

This next card is for the CAS Spring/Easter challenge.  I have such a hard time with Clean and Simple, lol. But I do think this one is pretty cute!

 

Stamps: Forest Friends, Loads of Love accessories

Paper: Old Olive, Whisper White

Ink: chocolate Chip Basic Black

Other: markers, embossing folder, scallop edge punch

Whew, that was a bunch of typing.  Now I have to go figure out what to eat for lunch to get my strength back!  tee hee.

Have a great day!
