Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 174! (TSSC174)

Here we go again.  I am hoping that things around my house are back to normal--what ever that is?!.  So in keeping with that I have a new sketch for you to try this week.  I think it is a fun one and can't wait to see how you talented people interpret it!  Here is the sketch...

And of course my card.  I combined my card with the new color challenge on the VC_Rocks group.  The colors we are to use are Early Espresso and at least two colors from the soft subtles collection.  And I am still playing with this Open Seas set.  Love it--but you already know that, lol!

  

Sorry about the crooked picture of the inside.

Stamps: Open Seas, Plane and Simple

Paper: Early Espresso, So Saffron, Bashful Blue and Marina Mist

dp and whisper white

Ink: Early Espresso,  Bashful Blue

Other, Button embosslet, baker's twine, markers

Don't forget it is now a blog hop.  All you have to do is add the code to the bottom of your post while in the Edit HTML mode and it will automatically add each sample to your blog too!  Hope you have a great week!

Blogger's Challenge--a sketch

Running a bit late this week on posting due to Blogger difficulties. This week we have a sketch that our mom (Lisa) created for us.  I combined it with the Latenightstamper's challenge for this week to make a Father's day card and with the VC_Rocks color challenge too.  The colors are Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Certainly Celery.  (hmmmm, seems I missed the celery on this, lol!--be right back after I fix that!)  I back and it is all fixed now!

I am still having so much fun with this set. Can't believe it a definite must have for easy masculine cards.

Stamps: Stamps: Open Seas, Plane and Simple
Paper: Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Certainly Celery, dp
Ink: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze
Other: embossing folder, modern label punch

Check everyone's samples below--and even play along if you wish!

Happy today!

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 173! (TSSC173)

Seems I ma going to be late again on this sketch.  Hard to believe that you can not even make it on time for your own sketch challenge.  Been really crazy around here and it is NOT over yet.  I will get a card done in the morning for the sketch though.  Didn't want to make you wait for me so I am posting the sketch now.  Hope you have time to play along this week.  And to all the mom's who visit my blog--Happy Mother's Day--hope you had a great day filled with much love and happiness! 

Here is this week's sketch...

Don't forget we are now doing this as a blog hop so feel free to grab the code and add it to your post while in the edit HTML page.  Can't wait to see what you come up with for this.  Looks pretty easy......
