I just heard....... there are more players for the sketch challenge.


Isn't this card so pretty. I just love these colors together. Pomegranate, Pretty in Pink and Close to Cocoa. Stamp sets used: Fabulous Flowers, All in a Row and One of a Kind. The little flowers were punched out with the new BoHo Blossom punch. The large one is cut out and layered with dimensionals. Other supplies used: half pearl, word window punch, satin pomegranate ribbon and white gel pen. Now check out these two creations!

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge #9

Well, after a full week off my son is back in school! I wonder how it will go? He has not stayed awake a whole day since last Sunday! I pray he don't get sick again due to all the kids that don't get kept home when they are sick -- it is just never ending. Anyway, it is sketch time. I have not made anything since last sketch -- I can't believe. I kept this one a bit simple but may try another one with this sketch tomorrow. Now the ideas are beginning to flow!

The sketch looks pretty hard but it is not that bad.


Here is my card. I did mine backwards. I started with two 2 3/4 inch squares that were cut in half and attached to the top and bottom and then went from there. My middle square is 2 1/4 inch square. I so wanted to add faux stitching to the triangles but chose not to make it too detailed.





Stamps: Carte Postale
Paper: Afternoon Tea, Wild Wasabi and Groovy Guava textured card stock, base of card is whisper white.
Ink: groovy Guava
Other: Rubons -Cherished Memories, brads, paper piercer and mat pack, Nestabilities die

The finished size of the card is 9 by 4. Fast and easy!

Looks like there are only a few players this week - hmmmm, wonder if the sketch was too overwhelming or just busy? The girls that did play had mixed emotions about it, lol. They all aced the layout though so check them out.......

Wow, being sick is not fun. I am so far behind on every aspect of life you would not believe! A whole missed week, it is like the Twilight Zone or something. Anyway, here are the last few for sketch #8, be ready because sketch #9 may be a bit tricky! (or so I hear, I still need to do mine, lol)

Thanks for giving me stuff to post ladies, sorry I have not created anything myself all week. I am off to see what I can do with this weeks sketch! Not sure how creative I am feeling but time will tell. I still have to take my son to school first so I have time to think. Till then......
