Nice of me to join my own challenge!

So it took me a bit longer than expected, had to prep for a club meeting and had a few other things to take care of like the dentist, bank, laundry--you get the picture I am sure. Anyway here is my sample for my sketch challenge for the is week. To see the sketch and the original post click HERE. Then you too can play along. I did combine my sample with the challenge from Latenightstampers which is to use your favorite color combos. I can tell you that Pool Party is my (at the moment) favorite color. So I mixed it with Poppy Parade and Peach Parfait. So pretty!

 

Stamps: Mixed Bunch

Paper: Pool Party, Very Vanilla, Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait, SAB dp

Ink: Poppy Parade

Other: pearls, circle punch, flower punch, embossing folder, corner rounder

Hope your week is going well--it is so nice outside that I have to go out there and do something!

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 211! (TSSC211)

Need to make this a fast post--have to take hubby to the doctor.  Here is this week's sketch ...

It is a simple one--can't wait to see your samples.  Here is mine....

Whoops, thought I had a sample ready but I guess I made the wrong sketch.then as I was trying to figure it out I ran out of time and had to take hubby to the doctor.  So I guess I was/am not as prepared as I thought for this sketch and really late too, sorry.  I am just going to get it posted without my sample for now and I will post when I get it together--whenever that is, lol!

Remember that when you play along you MUST LINK TO YOUR DIRECT POST and not just to your blog.  It is hard to find the post if people look a few days later!  Thanks so much.

If you want others to be able to play along right from your blog add the blog hop code to you blog while in the HTML mode.

Limited Supplies--no kidding!

So I am in Atalanta with my stamping girlfriends for a girls weekend!  Have such a great time.  I was able to get a bunch of scrapbook pages done and then ran out of the 12 by 12 so moved on to cards. Problem--I have no stamps or ink, just a the Country Club Simply Scrappin kit.  So I had to make do.  I wanted to make a card for the blogger's challenge--especially since the list mom Lisa Somerville is here with us!  The challenge this week is a sketch...

And my card made with only the scrappin kit and the stamped sentiment from the Loving Thoughts stamp set.

It's a blog hop so come on and play along. That's it, short and sweet--off to the hot tub and a movie!
