Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 58

 

Good morning - It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Here is the deal: make a card with this layout and use the InLinkz button down at the end of my post to enter your card. On Thursday at 10 PM (Mountain Time), I'll randomly select one card to feature on my blog. So, as long as your card is linked by 10 PM Thursday, your card will be in the drawing. Be sure to link directly to the blog post or gallery image which features your card. You may post a picture of the sketch on your blog, but please save the image to your computer first. Use the keyword SSSC58 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

As you can tell, I took some artistic liberty with my own sketch this morning - I had it in my head that I was going to use these little butterflies, and well, the squares underneath were just too large, so I opted for circles underneath the butterflies.  And small ones at that, LOL!  The card is a 6.5" square, scored in half - so the card size is 6.5" x 3.25".  The colors come from this week's Color Throwdown - olive, brown, pink, and white.  Super cute!!

I'm using InLinkz instead of Mr. Linky, so I hope it works {crossing my fingers}.  I had trouble with Mr. Linky and apparently did lose all the entries listed last week.  I'm SO sorry about that.  So I won't be listing the winner for SSSC57 since I can't get back to all of them. 

The Sweet Sunday Stampers have samples to show you today, so don't forget to stop on by to see:

Slightly Distracted

I've been distracted. Distracted by her.

And this little one.

 

And these little cuties.

...the kids, not the chickens.

Why all the distraction, you ask?

Because of her.

2 In 1 Thank You

Good morning!  I'm so glad to see you back here at my blog in spite of yesterday's challenge - LOL!  It looks like you are loving it!  I have another challenge card for you today - I'm trying to catch up and keep up, so this one combines Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge {Old Olive, Night of Navy, Ballet Blue, Kraft, and Whisper White}, and Sweet Stop Sketch 44.  After I saw these amazing little flowers on Laura's blog, I had to make them right away - seems like if I don't make something I drool over as soon as possible, I forget all about it.  I chalk it up to my "mom of 3" brain.

Do you think my photos look blurry?  All of a sudden my photos look blurry on my blog, but not on my computer, so I don't know what the heck is up with Blogger.  GRRR!!!   Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks for stopping by today!
Karen

recipe -

stamps: thankful accents (verve stamps)

paper: kraft, night of navy, ballet blue, whisper white cardstock, fall flowers dsp

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 57

Good morning - It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Here is the deal: make a card with this layout and use the Mr. Linky box down at the end of my post to enter your card. On Thursday at 10 PM (Mountain Time), I'll randomly select one card to feature on my blog. So, as long as your card is linked in the Mr. Linky box by 10 PM Thursday, your card will be in the drawing. Be sure to link directly to the blog post or gallery image which features your card. You may post a picture of the sketch on your blog, but please save the image to your computer first. Use the keyword SSSC57 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

I can hear you all groaning out there - yes, this one is a bit of a challenge, but it's all part of the fun of it, right?  I think I am very close to getting voted off the island by the design team, LOL!  Out of a great challenge comes amazing creativity!   Now, I'm not saying my card is full of amazing creativity - LOL!  I almost cheated by just cutting out a 5" x 3.75" sheet of this striped paper, but instead I cut each little pattern out to make them all the same size.  You should know that I was singing circus music as I edited this little number; maybe because of the bow-tie and giant polka dots?  haha!  Since this will obviously be a little kid's card, I think it looks cute with all the polka dots and bright colors.  The set is It's a Party, one of the very first sets I ever bought 6 years ago - wow!

EDITED:  OK, looks like Mr. Linky is getting greedy and wanting me to pay for a subscription.  If you haven't entered yet, please leave your link in the comments.   If you have already entered your card, I can still see your links in my Mr. Linky account, so never fear, you're still in the running for Random.org.  So sorry everyone.  I was told  of a new website that is like Mr. Linky, but free, so I'll be using Inlinkz next week.
