Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 288 (TSSC288)

Welcome to a fresh new week and a new sketch!  First I would like to wish all of you a happy Veteran's Day!  If you are a veteran thanks for what you do!  Thanks to all the family members too--you give up so much also!

Now for this week's sketch....

I kept my sample nice and simple--just what I needed after a week of being sick and not feeling creative.  Here is my sample....

Stamps: Happy Hour

Paper: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Season of Style dsp

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Lucky Limeade, Primrose Petals, Basic Black

Other: crumb cake ribbon, rhinestones

And now for the real inspiration---the rest of the team....

Fun cards--don't you agree.  Now it is your turn to play along....

1. You have a full week to play along!
2. Create a new card using the sketch as your inspiration.
3. Use any products you choose.
4. Add your card to your blog or other on-line spot and link back to this challenge.
5. Come back here and add a direct link to your sample for the challenge and NOT you home page of your blog--people will not look for your challenge card--trust me.
6. And this one is not really a rule but a request--get rid of that word verification!  It makes it hard for us to comment on your samples.  It is easier for you to delete the spam then for us to jump through tons of hoops to comment.  If your put your comments on moderation you do not have to worry about spam--you will have the option to delete it BEFORE it ever goes on your blog so you will ALWAYS be safe!
7. Have fun and tell you friends to play too!
   
   Thanks, Mary Jo

Santa's List Tutorial!

I have been crazy sick but feeling much better today! So happy since I have been needing to finish this tutorial for a week now. I am thrilled with this one. So sweet. Since I do not send many non-Christian Christmas Cards these will be perfect for the few that I need. I used the same paper pack as the Prince of Piece Tutorial from a few weeks ago so you can get all twelve cards from the same paper pack--and much more of course.

 So on to the new tutorial

 Santa's List Card Set Tutorial

Six Cards all using the one stamp set.

All cards use same supplies

All cards are mailable and easily reproduced.

All new layouts that can be used again and again.

All cut sizes and step by step directions for each card.

And all for ONLY $2.50!

I have a really fun one for you to play along with this week.  Unfortunately I am going to be late on my sample for you--lots of doctor's appointments this last week with more today.  And championship football games for my son.  But believe me the team rocked this sketch--as always!

Here is the sketch...
