Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 100

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 very end of this post to enter your card. The links will close on Friday at 10 PM (Mountain Time), and I'll randomly select one card to feature on my blog on Saturday. So, as long as your card is linked by 10 PM Friday, 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 SSSC100 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

100 sketches!  Can it be true?  You all are the best and I want to thank you all for keeping me going with all of your kind words and encouragement to keep going.  It's been an incredibly fun journey!

It was a pretty empty stamping week again - I'm got a new computer and I've been trying to get everything transferred over before my old one crashes.  You know, the blue screen of death?  Yep - it loves me recently and scares me!  I've been keeping up with my photos for my 365 Project though and I'll share those tomorrow.  This week will be better for stamping - I promise!  *wink*

I really like the simplicity of this card - no muss, no fuss; perfect for a little boy.  The pirate is from My Cute Stamps, Pirate Boy and I stamped him in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored him with Copics.  The papers are Peachy Keen from Kaisercraft.

We're saying goodbye to a sweet stamper today too - Sketch 100 is Laura Fredrickson's last sketch on the team and I am going to miss her beautiful cards each week, but I know she'll pop in from time to time to play along in the gallery too.  Thank you, Laura, for all of your inspiration!

The Sweet Sunday Stampers have amazing sketch samples to show you today, so stop on by to see:

Thanks for taking on the challenge this week!

'ay matey!

Last night, my daughter grabbed this little Pirate Boy set and asked me to make her a book mark and somehow her bookmark ended up morphing into a card.  Hmmm, how did that happen?  She'll never know!  haha!  I'll just tell her it's a huge bookmark that hangs over the top of her page, yeah, that's it!

I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black on Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored it with Copic markers.  The patterned paper is part of the Old World paper pack from Kaisercraft - yum!  The sketch is MOJO151.

Well, I'm off to a weekend in the mountains!  Since I'll be without internet when SSSC80 closes tonight, I'll post the winner when I return Sunday night - if I forget, remind me!  :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Pinch me!! I must be dreaming!

This is my second post today, so please scroll down or click HERE for more.

I'm back to announce some extremely exciting and fabulous news!  I can finally announce that I'm now officially a Stamper's Dream designer!!  Dream Team???  Me???  I can't even express into words how excited I am to work with these amazing stampers, so THANK YOU Michelle for the amazing invitation!  I hope to make you proud!

In honor of all this fun I'm having, I made this little Pirate Boy card - Arrrgghhh!!  haha!  The day it arrived in my mailbox, my oldest daughter grabbed it out of my hand and inked it up.  Can you say, a tad bit excited?  I guess she has a thing for pirates.  After tackling her down and grabbing it back, (oh, sooo kidding), I hand stamped the background with the little anchor and X marks the spot stamps.  The pirate is stamped on Neenah Classic Solar White cardstock and colored in with Copic markers.  I just had to use some really cute Old World patterned paper from Kaiser Craft and I used Mojo Monday's MOJO140 for the sketch.

Thanks for coming on by again - see you back soon!
