Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge #39

I really needed a quick and simple thank you that I could whip up in just a few minutes. So I decided to use this weeks sketch to do it. Here is the sketch....



And here is the card. Simple but I think it works. What do you think, too simple?



This is definitely one of those card that looks much better in person. The colors kind of of blend on the picture but they are more defined in real life. I would love to have you play along this week. I so enjoy seeing all the different card created with just one sketch. It is incredible how different they all look! All you have to do to play along is create a card and then leave a comment on this post with a link to your card so that I can share it with everyone on here too! Can't wait to see what you come up with. If you post on SCS please use the keywords TSSC39. Here are the details for my simple card....

Stamps: So Many Scallops 2008 SAB
Paper: Soft Sky and Fall Flowers dp - both retired
Ink: Soft Sky and Old Olive
other: Scallop punch, 1 inch punch, ribbon and mini bling stones.

Can't wait to see yours! And don't forget to check back tomorrow to see what the other girls do with the sketch. It is NEVER disappointing! I will be a bit late posting since the kids are off school and I will be going to get pumpkins with my cub scout den during the day. So keep checking back. Hope you have a great Columbus Day!

Super job Lori. Don't go too far I am posting the new sketch challenge right now!

Don't be a turkey! and another sketch player too.

I was looking through the Studio G stamps I bought about two months or so ago and have not used and came across this stamp that says "Don't be a Turkey!" And I immediately thought of my SUInk stamp sets and this card popped in my head. The girl is from the First and Goal set and the turkey is from the Bountiful Harvest set. I love how the turkey is not paying attention to the girl at all -- looking the other way! I have such a strange sense of humor. I thought about putting "or we'll eat you for Thanksgiving dinner" on the inside but thought maybe that was pushing it a bit too far, lol! Have any other ideas??




Stamps: Bountiful Harvest and First and Goal SUInk sentiment Studio G
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive Whisper White and lots of misc scrap dp\
Ink: Basic Black
Other: Nestabilities, white gel pen, brads

And now for the new sketch challenge player

Sue at Sue's Stamping Stuff

I love those little mice. Thanks for playing along Sue.

Rock On Limited Supply Challenge and another sketch player too!

So do you think you can use too much bling on a card?? I have mixed emotions. Today's Limited Supply Challenge on SCS was called Rock, Paper, Scissors. Here are the details.


Today we are sticking with the basics: paper and ink, with an added element.
“Rock, Paper, Scissors” is our Limited Supplies Challenge for this week.
You may use any stamps with any theme, and any coloring tools.


* ROCK: Only embellishments that are gems, such as pearls and rhinestones – anything with sparkle or bling! Rock can ALSO mean anything metal, as in hardware!

* PAPER: Any kind of paper, including designer and patterned papers. Bonus points for metallic papers that would also fit in with ROCK (silver, gold, copper, garnet, sapphire, etc.)! (For those new to the challenges, “Bonus Points” are really non-existent points – there is no contest, just give yourself an extra pat on the back!)

* SCISSORS: Only decorative scissors and straight cut paper cutters. No Nestabilities, Cuttlebug, Big Shot, punches, etc.

Here is my sample. I love the brushed silver with the Pacific Point card stock. Beautiful together.


Here are the details.

Stamps: Snow Swirled

Paper: Pacific Point, Baja Breeze, Brushed Silver and Whisper White

Ink: Pacific Point, Baja Breeze, Encore Silver

Accessories: lots of "rocks" metallic silver gel pen

And now another card share with this week's sketch challenge!

Sara at Stampin' with Sara

Thanks so much for playing along Sara.

Blogger's Challenge #68 and WT187 Combo.

I will start by saying that I have three favorite colors- one of which is purple and has nothing to do with this post, but the other two are red and black. Put them together with white and you have stunning in my opinion! What a wonderful inspiration piece Lisa found for us this week. I love it. And you all know it is not often that I say I love one of my cards, but I really love this one. I combined it with the Ways To Use it challenge-monograms. I have never made a monogram card before! I don't really understand the theory of them? Why do I want to send a card to someone else with my initials on it?? I would love to understand this craze. I get it when it is pertaining to a wedding but that is the only time. Oh well, I had fun with this card and I actually like it. Maybe I will put it in a frame and hang it in my craft room?? Tee Hee, I know I won't be sending it to anyone, lol.

Here is the inspiration.....


And of course this is my card....




I wish I could get a clearer picture. It looks great on the original picture but when I resize it it gets a bit fuzzy . Frustrating.

Stamps: BoHo Friend Wheel, retired Doodle Alpha
Paper: Real Red Textured Card Stock, Basic Black and Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black and Real Red
Other: 4 different circle punches, the scallop circle punch, white gel pen, scor pal, red ribbon, red prima and white brad.

Fun challenge!
