Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge

Welcome to a brand new week--I for one am ready for a new week--I have been sick for more than a week and I am just tired of it, and the snow and the cold and and and--so as I said I am excited about a new week, a new day and of course a new sketch--and I even made a card for it--first card in two weeks!  How crazy is that?  Let's start with the sketch, shall we?


I think it is a fun sketch for you to try this week and I can't wait to see what you come up with.  My card is using the Simple Stems stamp set and the cork stickers that I earned for FREE for SAB.


Stamps: Simple Stems 
Paper: Crumb Cake, Real Red
Ink:  Basic Black, Real Red
Other: white chalk pen, cork stickers SAB

Now for the talented design team's designs....

It is a fun one--can't wait to see what you design using it.
Don't forget to come on back and link up to the linky tool below.
Here are a few rules of play....

  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

Simple Stems--oh so pretty!

I was not going to get this set as I have so many flower stamps but I talked myself into it and I am so glad.  Not only does it work with the framelits from the Secret Garden set but it is really pretty simply stamped randomly on your cards.  Creating my own Designer Paper!   Love it. 



Don't you think they are beautiful.  Love the colors, Real Red, Pool party, So Saffron and Basic Black--two cards about 10 minutes max.  That the way I like it. 

Stamps:  Simple Stems, Perfect Pennants
Paper: Real Red, Pool Party, So Saffron, Whisper White
Ink: Real Red, So Saffron, Pool Party, Basic Black
Other: black marker, banner framelits, rhinestones, Decorative Dots embossing folder

Happy Today--it is my 17th wedding anniversary today!
