Sketch 332- Monday Lunchtime Sketch

Welcome to our Monday Lunchtime Sketch this week.  Hope you had a wonderful weekend.  My daughter was in town and we did a little shopping for our new addition due October 24th.  This may be out last time seeing her prior to the call that she is in labor and then of course off I will be to Virginia.  I am so excited.  Oh, that's right, I am suppose to be talking about this weeks sketch.  It don't take much to get me off track.  So without further a due, here is my sample for this weeks sketch challenge.

I decided to go Christmas as I need to get my cards together.  I send out about 50 plus and usually everyone gets a different card.  It just makes me do more crafting than trying to do them all the same.  There are times I like one well enough to make about 6 more, but that is about my max.

Anyway, I sure hope you will check out the rest of the design team samples and join us this week for our Monday Lunchtime sketch.

Have a great week.

Ornament Keepsakes

 

Well I am home today with my granddaughter who is sick.  Got some bronchitis gook going on so I am work some from home.  I just had this idea all of a sudden and had to stop and make this card (great way to work from home, but don't worry I am not counting this time toward work).  I saw the sketch on Sunny Challenges and Creations earlier this week and really thought it was interesting, so when I thought today about using the ornament keepsakes it just would not go away and I had to try it.  In my head it looked a lot better, but regardless I still like the outcome.

SU LateNightStampers Challenge

Good Monday Morning all and welcome to a new challenge for our LateNightStampers Group.  This  week we are looking at Clean & Simple with lots of White.  Well I am not sure you can say mine is Simple, but you can say that it is Clean and lots of White!  Which it was a very simple card to put together.

 

What inspired this card other than the SU LateNight Challenge was also the sketch on Try Stampin' On Tuesday Challenge.  As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew what I wanted to do.  So here is my card, lot of White showing!

 

 

I used the Shimmery White card  stock and the Silver Glimmer Paper and did both heat embossing along with an embossing folder.

Ornament Keepsakes

Well here is another Christmas card that I decided to do today when I saw the sketch over at Sketch Frenzy Friday.  And, I love how it turned out.  Red and white just seems to look so elegant and that taffeta ribbon only adds more elegance to it. And of course with this weeks challenge at SULateNightStampers, Christmas in July, I just had to do one more Christmas card this week.

Here is a side view of the card!

And of course the inside with this wonderful Designer paper.

My First Christmas Card 2012

Well I am sure you have wondered where I have been, but my husband and I went on vacation and boy was it the best.  We went to New York City and then on to Niagara Falls in Canada.  I tell you it was a wonderful trip all the way around.  We got back around 9:00 pm last night and so this morning, I did some stamping with all the new items I found when I returned home.

I know I am going to love these new framelits and the stamp set which actually will be available on August 1st.  Since this weeks challenge at SULateNightStampers was to do embedded embossing, I decided to use the framelits as my embedded items and use the snowflake embossing folder to embedd them into the card stock.  I spritzed the embossed part with the gold spritz and wish I had not, but it don't look bad enough to redo.  If I make another one like this, I will definitely leave it totally white.  Also, I used this weeks sketch from Stamping 411.  Isn't it just the best.

Here is a side view of the card.

And of course the inside of the card whch I wish was better, but I did not want to take more photos.

Isn't this paper just the best?  I am loving it already.  It will also be available on August 1st.

Well hope you enjoyed your visit here today and I may have another card for you tomorrow!  So come back now!
