Sketch 361- Monday Lunchtime Sketch

Hello all and welcome to this bi-weekly Monday Lunchtime Sketch.  Yes we have gone to bi-weekly so now you have two weeks to join in our sketch challenge and I just know you will want to join in with this one.  I just love the simplicity of it, yet there is so much you can do with it.  So here is this weeks sketch.

 

I know you think I am going to use my butterflies as I just love them, but no here is my sample for this weeks sketch.

 

 

I have always loved these little houses even though they were in the Christmas catalog for Stampin' Up!  Of course you can use them anytime of year and when I saw them as I was going through my stamps deciding what to use for this challenge, this set and the dies just popped out at me.  So there you have it. 

 

Hope you have enjoyed stopping by and please make sure you stop by and check out the design team samples as they are wonderful and each one so different.  Then get busy and make your sample and link up at the bottom of the post.

 

Enjoy your week!

 



Sketch 339- Monday Lunchtime Sketch

It's time for our Monday Lunchtime sketch and yes Mary Jo has a wonderful sketch for us today.  I again used my cute little house and die.  I am loving this holiday home set.  So here is my sample for this weeks sketch.

And here is the inside.  My salutation is a little off center, but I am ok with that.  It gives it character as my daughter says.

And I am using some old paper that I had laying around and just embossed Santa and the sleigh on the designer paper.  Here is a close up.

Now it is your turn to show us what you can do with Mary Jo's sketch and check out the rest of the design team samples for some inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sketch 336- Monday Lunchtime Sketch

Hello all.  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Now it is time for our Monday Lunchtime Sketch and I am ready with one of my favorite stamp sets so far.  I have only used this one a couple of time, but I am growing to love it.  It is called Holiday Home from Stampin' Up! and it also has framelits of the little homes to go along with the stamp set.  Love that!

 

So without further ado, here is my sample for this weeks Monday Lunchtime Sketch.

 

 

I actually sponged the top of the scene with midnight muse ink, left the bottom white, stamped all the images except the house, put a little of white on the trees, added dazzling details (like glitter glue), then stamped the house on a cardstock by itself, colored and then using the framelits cut it out.  Easy, easy!  I used dimensionals to adhere the house.

 

Here is a close up and still don't give you the glitter effect it has.

 

 

And yes, the inside is complete.  I used an old stamp set on the inside called City of David.

 

 

OK, now it is your turn to show us what you come up with by using our Monday Lunchtime Sketch.  For more inspiration check out our design team's samples.

 

I am also adding this to the Word Art Wednesday, Anything goes challenge.

 

Enjoy your Monday!

 

 



Holiday Homes - Happy New Home

What a wonderful early Sunday Morning.  I made this card on Friday night and absolutely love it.  It just makes me happy.  When I saw this stamp set in the Stampin Up Holiday Catalog I just knew It would be my first purchase and I am so glad it was.This card was actually inspired by this weeks Clean & Simple Challenge sketch and was suppose to have a lot more houses, but once I colored these three, I decided that was it.  I am still going to link to the challenge as it was my inspiration.  Now the fence and grass die I have had for a couple of years and it is a Sweet & Sassy die.  I just love this die set but don't use it very often, but I knew it needed to be on this card.  OK, so here is the card.  Don't you just love it.

And, I used the grass die of the set on the inside of the card!

So hope you enjoyed my Sunday post this week.  Hope your Sunday is filled with joy and love.

From my house to yours, have a great day!
