Meowy Christmas - SCC #111

Happy April 1st!!   Or Happy April Fool's Day, if you prefer.  But I won't try to fool you. ;)

"Christmas critters" is the theme for Sparkles Christmas Challenge #111!  Not much time for chit chat because my family just moved and we've got lots to do in our new (old) house, so my posts are pre-scheduled.  I'll get back to crafting as soon as I can. :)

My image is the colored version of Cat Topper Christmas from Bugaboo Stamps.  My sentiment is computer generated.  My DP is Crate Paper "Snow and Cocoa."  My dies are CottageCutz Stitched Rectangles and Kat Scrapiness Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles.   A few buttons tied with twine finished it off.

Can't wait to see what you make!  With Christmas Critters, the possibilities are endless and are so much fun!!

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!!

Snowmen & mittens - TMS #547

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!

The fun thing about our sketches is that you can change up the shapes to create what ever is fun for you.  That means you can "cheat" like I did and use a tag. :D

Here's my card...

I used Crate Paper Snow & Cocoa DP and tag.  


Here's our sketch for the week...

May your day be brighter - TMS #546

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  

This is a week of mixed feelings for me.  (As has been the last few months! I've gone from happy to sad and back again in a split second!)  Yesterday, we left NY. This has been our home for 15 yrs and we're sad to leave this place and our friends that have become family here!  (Ps. 56:8 tells us that God keeps our tears in a bottle... mine must be HUGE!!)  
But even as I'm sad to leave, I'm excited about the future and the next plan and place that God has for us!  

Here is my card for today...

I really cannot tell you how I made this because it was awhile ago, and I don't remember details.  Also, I've had my craft room packed up for several weeks, so can't go looking. :D 
(I do have a blessing to share... the house we bought is large enough for me to have craft space!  I didn't think that was going to happen, so I'm very thankful!!)

Only you - TMS #544

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Here's my card...

I'm not sure what my paper is.  I'm moving in a couple of weeks and all my stuff is packed, so I have nothing to refer to.  :D  I know my sentiment stamp is Heidi Swapp.

JOY gift bag - SCC #110

This year is flying by!  I'ts March 1st, and that means it's time for Sparkles Christmas Challenge #110!  This month's theme is "anything but a card," so it's time for other creative Christmas projects!!

I used a red gift bag from the dollar store, DP from K&Co Mod Holiday, Glitter Cutouts (the snowflakes) from DIY Holiday,  letters created and cut with Make-the-Cut, and a wreath made with Impression Obsession Scribbled Circles, a MS branch punch, a hole punch, and baker's twine.

I could not get a very good pic, but this is really cute IRL!  (The colors actually do match!)

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

Thinking of you - TMS #543

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  We had a great time revisiting our favorite sketches from last year, but we're playing with all new sketches now!! 

This was very easy to make, and I love the simple elegance of it.  The flourish is from Raisin Boat "All About You" and I stamped and heat embossed it on the DP.  The border is a MS border punch.  I adhered that to black CS and cut the panel with Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics.  My sentiment is from Raisin Boat "Oops A Daisy."     

Here's our sketch...

Embossed thanks - TMS #542

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This week is our last revisited sketch, so next week, it'll be a new one!  I do love replaying our sketches, but it's also fun to have a new one each week.

This was quick and easy to put together, but I really like it!!
My BG is embossed with Cuttlebug Thank You Words EF.  The die cut sentiment is from a Cuttlebug plate... With Gratitude.  I used Unbranded Stitched Rectangles, Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics, and Sizzix Banners dies.  

This is Patti's favorite  (sketch #512)

Classic masculine birthday + more - TMS #541

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've got 3 cards to show you today!!  Here's my fave...

For this card, my image and sentiment are from The Project Bin "Classic Man."  I used the Paper Studio "The Great Rock Island Route" DP.  I used Spellbinders Standard Circles, Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics, and unbranded Stitched Scalloped Rectangles from Cheapo Dies.The doily is Recollections, and the twine and adhesive dots are from my stash.  


Here's #2...

This image is from Sunny Studio "Happy Camper."  The DP is Pink Paislee "Outfitters" and everything else is from my stash.  


Now for #3...  (This was actually the inspiration for the sketch way back when, but I didn't share it then.)

I believe the DP was from my scrap box and I know the image and sentiment are Doodle Pantry.  


This sketch Melissa's choice to revisit from 2019... (sketch #511)

From the pastor's desk - TMS #540

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This week, I made a card for my husband to use.  I've done several using this image in the past, but had several printed and thought this would be a good sketch to use one. 

**Sherry who commented about the image... I'm unable to reply through email to your comment, so if you comment again with a way to contact you, I will.  I have many printed that I'd gladly send to you.  Or contact me at sfoster (at) midtel (dot) net.

This is an awesome colored image and sentiment from Doodle Pantry.  I was on the DT before it closed a few yrs ago.  Still love the images!  (I need to use the ones like this that I have left soon so my hubby can use them.  He is leaving the pastorate next month and going to be academic dean of a Bible translation school.  Sad to leave NY and the ministry here, but we're so excited to see what the Lord has in store!!)
My DP is MME Portobello Road.  I used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics, CottageCutz Stitched Rectangles, and Sizzex Banners dies. 

This week, we are playing with LJ's favorite.  (This was sketch #507)
