Getting a tree... - TMS #629

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Christmas is 2 months from yesterday!!  In a month, I'll be putting up my tree and decorating my house.  (I'd do it now if I could. LOL)  Most of my life, we've had an artificial tree, so it's only been a few times that I've gone to "get a tree," but I get excited for complete strangers when I see a tree on their car or truck.  Then I go home and open my box. :D 

My image is a Stampendous rubber stamp called "Tie Down the Tree."  It's colored with my Spectrum Noir markers and cut out with CorttageCutz Stitched Rectangles.  My paper is PaperTrey Ink Monthly Moments: December (2014, I think).  My sentiment is from Raisin Boat Formal Phrases, stamped with Onyx Black Versafine and heat embossed.

Here's our sketch... I stretched it sideways. ;)

Warmest Wishes - TMS #628

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  And I've got another Christmas card...

I used a couple of pieces of paper from my scrap box, an old snowflake punch, SSS Build a Snowman stamp and die set, distress inks (Not sure why the shading around the snowman looks so purple! LOL), CottageCutz Double Stitched Ovals, and Poppystamps Landscapes die.

Faith, Hope, Fight, Love - TMS #627

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  And this is October which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so I chose that theme for my card...

I'd been wanting to use this die and when I saw this week's sketch, I knew it would be perfect to feature it.   This is Die-versions Whispers Awareness Square.  I did cut several layers of the pink and put a black layer on the bottom to give some dimension since popping up a die with narrow cuts is always a challenge.  My paper is Colorbok Love.  

Here's the sketch...  (You can see by my use of this die that the elements/shapes are always open to interpretation.  We just need to be able to recognize the sketch.)

Sorry I'm late - TMS #626

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

I thought I had prepared my post, but I just realized -- 14 1/2 hours late -- that it wasn't up.  So here it is...

A piece of already embossed paper was in my scrap box as was the piece behind the sentiment.  My flowers are TH Small Tattered Flowers.  The sentiment is from a set of unbranded words that I got many, many years ago. 

Here's our fun sketch...

Christmas Blessings - SSC #129

 It's time for Sparkles Christmas Challenge!  Our theme this month is "flora and/or fauna."  That's a general term  for all plants and animals, so that leaves lots of options for you to play along this month! 

I went with both...

My image and sentiment are Sweet n Sassy Stamps Christmas Joy and colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.  The DP is half used piece that was in my scrap pile.  I added the Concord & 9th Beautiful Branches for some dimension.

Time is flying!  Please come play along and get your Christmas cards ready! :) 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

Love you to pieces - TMS #624

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've got a fun card to show you, and I can guarantee that you'll be seeing this stamp set more...

My paper is Bo Bunny Early Bird.  My image and sentiment are from The Project Bin Spencer's Set.  I used my trimmer for the DP and Die-versions Stitched Circles to cut out the sentiment.  I used my Wink of Stella pen on the heart, so it has a bit of shimmer though it just looks wet in the pic.  

Here's our wonderful sketch...

Snowflake Christmas - TMS #623

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Still working on Christmas cards...

I used a piece of shiny paper from my scrap box for my snowflakes.  (See the close up below.)  I used Sweet N Sassy Stamps Small Snowflakes die.  My sentiment is from Raisin Boat "Merry Nature" and it's heat embossed and cut out with Spellbinders Petite Ovals.  

See the pretty shimmer? :)

baby - TMS #622

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

I recently got some stamps from The Project Bin and thought this sketch was perfect to try out one of them.  My paper is AC My Baby, and the sentiment is from The Project Bin "Defined."  ((All of their stamps are on sale right now!))  I used a small punch and layered several circles to give the corner element some dimension.  Easy peasy! 

Here' our fun sketch...

A full stocking - SCC #128

It's September!!!  Fall is on it's way, then.... Christmas!!  We celebrate (by that I mean work on our cards) all year at Sparkles Christmas Challenge, so we're ready when Christmas comes! :)  

This month's theme is "Stockings"!  And here's my card...

This is a Doodle Pantry (a long closed digi store) image.  I can see that I need to replace some of my markers.  They are not blending well at all, but if you squint, it looks all good.  LOL

My paper is Echo Park Christmas.  My panels are cut with Kat Scrapiness Wavy Wonky Stitched Rectangles.  My sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Build A Snowman. 

Please come play along at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!!
