Here we go again. Time for a new sketch challenge. Can't wait to see your samples for this one. It is another one with a long thin layer? A fun one too!
Look's like it is going to be a beautiful day today! I have so much work to do outside and inside and can never pick which is more important, lol! So I thought I would post my challenge card for this week's LNS challenge and have a cup of coffee to figure it out,lol. This week we are focusing on LOVE--yep, wedding season is just around the corner and of course that also means we will need Anniversary cards too since some of our friends and family already are married! So the theme is love can be anything you want, wedding, anniversary, sweetheart your call. I thought that maybe I should use this hostess set that I have had for quite a while (don't want to admit how long) and have NEVER used. Nice since it only has a few more days before it retires--I don't get rid of my sets anyway so it don't matter to me! And I know my customer's don't get rid of their sets just because they retire--so they still want ideas--that is why I keep them! (that's my story and I am sticking to it!) Can you tell I don't want to do ANY work--I am just babbling away.........
On to the card...
Sure took longer than I thought to get to this. Busy beginning of the week. Hope your week is coming along well and that you are considering playing along with my sketch challenge this week. You can view the original post --that you can link up to--and see the sketch HERE. And here is my late sample...
I really love to combine older stamps with the newer ones. This is a fun and quick wedding card. I love these colors together. So pretty!
Welcome to a new week of my Monday Lunchtime sketches. I am loving this week's sketch. Hope you do too! Here it is...
It is Sunday and that means I get to post a new featured stamper on the Stampin Connection site. I love this challenge as it is such a great way to let others know that you appreciate their work and that they inspire us. We all share pretty freely and it is nice to know that people are other they viewing and enjoying. So this week we are featuring another stamper who I am not familiar with (I know she is a member of LNS but I have not had the time to visit her blog or gallery)-- I am happy I did though! If you are not a US demo you can visit her blog HERE. If you are you can play along by clicking HERE.
I have not yet had the chance to announce here that I am now the proud co-owner of the Latenightstampers group. You all know how much I love this group and I would love for you to join too! You do not have to be a demonstrator just have to love Stampin Up! It is all Stampin Up! ALL THE TIME! If you are not already a member please join below. It is free, fun and has tons of samples shared everyday with all Stampin Up! products.

Ink: Ruby Red and Chocolate chip
Other: Chit Chat Rub Ons, photo corner punch, Wide Chocolate Chip double stitched ribbon, White ribbon, Stampin Up embossing plate and Chocolate Chip marker.

Today's card share is for the DT challenge on Latenightstamper's our monthly theme for May is Father's day and Weddings. Hence this wedding card. It is also using 100% current Stamping Up! so it is one for the You're Hired Again Series of cards. It was also one of the cards that we made at this months All Occasions Class. I love the cut out heart and the ribbon. I wanted to put names in the two little hearts but since I have no one to give this card to I left it blank.
Stamps: To Have And To Hold
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Pink Piourette, Close to Cocoa, Very Vanilla, and dp from the Candy Lane series
Ink: Riding Hood Red
Other: paper piercer, ribbon, circle scissors plus, heart punch, Circle punch, Riding Hood ribbon, Ruby Red marker.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Don't forget to check out the LNS blog tour information in my side bar. I will be featuring the Friends 24-7 set for that tour. Don't miss out on the great samples.
