Top Three For Sketch 176!

What a crazy busy week.  Seems the closer we get to the end of school the busier it gets.  I am at school almost as much as my son during these last few weeks.  I am excited about summer vacation this year--as I always am--I love to have all that extra time with my son.  Can't wait!

Here are my top three picks from last week's sketch.  Be sure to click on each preview picture to be taken to the creator's blog and original post to see the full card and all the details.  And of course to leave a comment telling them how great their cards are!

Winners, feel free to add my badge to your blogs!

What to give a male teacher?!

This is the first year that my son has a male teacher and it has been difficult to figure out gifts for him.  But I finally decided to go with this little quote book.  Each pocket has a pull out insert.  The first one will have a gift card from Amazon the middle one will have a personal thank you from my son and the last pocket will have another gift card for Subway (I think?).  What do you think?  I have not bought the cards yet so I may change my mind but you can get ANYTHING from Amazon!  All the the quotes are computer generated.

Wow, that was a real pain to load, seems like Blogger is being cranky today!  Kind of like my hubby, lol!  So do you think it is appropriate? Do you think it is good for a male teacher? The pockets are made with coin envelopes.

Hope you have a great day.

VC-rocks challenge

Here are my two samples for the VC-rocks challenge. Here is the challenge...


Easy Challenge:

Make a card using 3 colors from the Regals collection and one brown from the neutrals. You must also use two embellishments. Stamps must be in the current catalog.

A Step harder Challenge:
Make a scrapbook page following the above requirements PLUS you must include journaling, title, and pictures. I would say the scrap page needs to be 12 x 12 but I will be nice and let those of you who don’t scrap that size a break.

And my samples....

I love to use the Tess stamp set with other sets.  This one is perfect-that is about the size of my coffee cup--almost!

And here is my scrapbook page done with the My Digital Studio program...

 

I hope you are having a great week!  If you have any questions feel free to ask.  Day two of a migraine and don't feel like typing right now.   Seems like I am getting these at least once a month now!  UGGG!!!!

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 176! (TSSC176)

Welcome to another week of my sketch challenges.  Happy Memorial Day to all of you.  I am sorry that my sample for the day is not reflective of the day--wasn't thinking as usual!  I hope you will play along this week.  It is a fun sketch! 

And here is my sample to get your creative juices flowing.......

Don't forget that you can add the code to you post (while in the Edit HTML mode) and all of the samples will show up on your post too so  people can hop right from one to the other.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day. 
Remember those who made it possible!
