Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 303 (TSSC303)

So as I said in the previous post there are some problems with the linky tool but we are told that any new linkys will works so we are moving right along.  But I will say that I have had a really bad week and my sample is quite lame, lol.  I have a flooded craft room and lots of other things going on at the same time so I made my sample with some scraps that were left over from my last card class!  Sometimes you just have to make do--ya know.  Here is this week's sketch....

 

Here is my sample....

I had left over pieces from a card I made for Valentines using this same sketch--I changed out the Soft Sky for Pool Party in the new card. Here is that earlier card for reference since it uses the same sketch....

And now how about the rest of the teams samples...you will love them!

I told you they were amazing--hope this is a better week for all of us and that we have time to create.  If you do create something with this sketch please remember to come on back and add your direct link to the linky tool below.
Here are a few rules of play....

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!

Oh, Happy Birthday--Try Stamping on Tuesday!

It is our birthday this week--so why not celebrate with us by creating a card with our sketch.  It is a really fun one and I think you will want to join along.  Here is my sample....

I had fun combining the Starburst Sayings stamp set with the single stamp Happy Birthday from the You're Amazing set.  I don't own that set, just the single image that was available a while back. I think it made a really fun birthday card--especially with these colors.  Real Red, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Whisper White and a touch of Black!  Love it!

Stamps: Starburst Sayings, Happy Birthday single from You're Amazing, Itty Bitty Bits

Paper: Real Red, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Basic Black, Fresh Prints DP

Ink: Pool Party and Real Red

Other: startburst framelits, bitty bits punch pack, circle framelits, black marker

Here is the sketch for this week....

The twist for this week is...anything goes 

Come on over and play along--there are lots of great samples form the rest of the team to be seen too

Happy Today!

Whoops, second post today--LNS challenge.

Almost did it again, I keep forgetting about posting my card on Wednesday for the LNS challenge.  The two week challenge for this time is to use your dies or framelits.  I must say I do that on most of my cards so it was a really easy one!  I decided to go with an nontraditional Valentine! Those of you who visit my blog often know I love to be different and Valentines is no exception.  I love these colors on this card, really fun to use the Oh, Happy Day for a Valentine card too--the unexpected!  

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do--we did this at my class tonight.  Along with a few other fun ones I will be posting in the next few days. 

Used lots of sets for this card:

Stamps: Perfect Pennants, Banner Blast, Starburst Sayings

Paper: Tangerine Tango, Baked Brown Sugar, Very Vanilla, Really Retro DP

Ink: Coastal Cabana, So Saffron, Tangerine Tango, Baked Brown Sugar

Other: Starburst Framelits, Hearts Framelits, rhinestone

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 298!

Happy Martin Luther King Day--which around here means--Happy No School!  My son is so happy to have another day off--seems that they have not had a full week of school in at least  a month, between conference days, half days, snow days, holidays--they are off every time I turn around!  Good think I love to have him home with me.  Well if you are home maybe you will have more time to play today--so let's get right to the sketch so you can!  Here is this week's sketch...

Here is my sample...

I think I went a little pattern crazy but I actually like it.  Once your eyes can settle on one thing, lol!  I am so loving the colors in this DP.  Obviously since I did my last tutorial using the new SAB set See Ya Later and all my last few cards with it, I may have to order more!

Stamps: Starburst Sayings

Paper: Baked Brown Sugar, Costal Cabana, Very Vanilla and Retro Fresh DP

Ink: Coastal Cabana

Other:  Starburst Framelits, embellishments from Paper Pumpkins January kit and Banner Framelits
