Thursday Linky Party week 3--Stampin Up! Style-Because I Care

Each week I will be having a Linky Party!  Who doesn't love a party.  Especially when it involves Stampin Up products!  Here is how it will work.....

Thursday Technostamper Linky Party week 3

Each week I will pick a new stamp set to feature.  You can hop over and find out what the set of the week is and then you can link up any and all samples you have with the set!  That's right, you can make new ones or link up older ones.  As long as they use the stamp set of the week you are good to go.  What a great resource this could be!  I hope you will link up.  

This week we will be linking up cards and projects with the

Because I Care stamp set.  

 

This set is so easy to make beautiful cards with.

I am excited to see what you have done with this set.  I know I will have a lot to chose from I have seen tons of great cards with it.  Won't you share yours?  Go find your samples  NOW and link up! Put your name or blog name in the title of the picture it will help people get to know your work. Also PLEASE link directly to the sample you are sharing and not to your entire blog.  Items not linked properly will be deleted to keep it fun no one wants to search and search it is supposed to be easy!

 

I have one brand new sample for you and I have found a few of my older ones to add too...

This is the new sample. I am loving the purple and pink together!  So pretty!

Triple challenge!

Yike long couple of days, had some sort of stomach virus or something. Not pretty. But I was finally able to make a card this morning. So I had to catch up with not only my sketch challenge for this week, but the challenge on LNS which is to use an animal image and another challenge one on one swap to create a anniversary card. Hence my darling little doggie anniversary card. Don't you love the bead boarding on the walls, lol!  Not too traditional but I like it.

Here is the inside too. 

Stamps: Friends Fur-ever, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Pacific Point, Pink Pirouette, So Saffron, scrap of dp, Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black
Other: markers, top note die, dots embossing folder, tulip border embossing folder, sticker sheet from SAB, trim die to make the scallops around the circle, circle scissors plus

Hope you are having a great week!

Hmm, new computer last week, new internet provider yesterday, big headaches all over.  I wanted to post this one time but I don't have all my software on my new computer yet so my sample will be a bit late--I am too tired to do any more.  Takes too stinkin long to add all that stuff!

Anyway, this is the sketch for this week...

Hope you find time to play along!  Remember it is now a blog hop!  So after clicking on the link to enter following the directions to add the code and you will be part of the hop!

Just Believe! Please Believe!

It may happen if EVERYONE would JUST BELIEVE. Ok maybe I am pushing it a bit, but I have had more than enough of this stinkin snow! PLEASE make it go away! Even the snowman wants to see the sun, lol.
Today's Blogger Challenge was a sketch challenge. Hop on over to Lisa's blog to see the original sketch. Because of the mood I am in I decided to take a look around my studio to find something I have not used in a LONG time. I found a whole bunch of large vanilla envelopes with tons of stamped images from swaps or just from friends sharing and this image really spoke to me. I only had one of it so I could not do too much besides color but it seemed perfect anyway for my frame of mind, lol. If you happen to know who this stamp is by let me know so I can edit this post. Not sure if it is digial or regular or even where the heck I got it from. Anyway, on to the blogger's challenge blog hop! Be sure to check out all the samples--these ladies are creative!

Here is my card....

I am sure you notice that I took this picture out side and of course you see all that stinkin white stuff around.  My summer chair is already out because I was enjoying the beautiful Spring like weather just a little bit ago--no a funny joke mother nature!!!!
At least the sun is out! That is a positive!
