Three of a kind - TMS #438


Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!  This week, I've got 3 cards to show you using our sketch.  3!!!  I've been away 3 1/2 of the past 6 weeks, so I had a brain fart last week and threw my card together thinking I needed it ready before I actually did.  Then when I realized I had more time, I made another.  While working on another project, I was inspired to try something else, so... 3 cards with this sketch. :)   I'll show you the third and final product first.  (It's my favorite of the 3.) 


I was looking through my dies and realized I had never used this adorable rocking horse that I bought almost a year ago!  I'm going to need a boy baby card, so I used it.  The die is Die-Namites Rocking Horse.  (The little hearts are the leftover pieces from the rocker.)  My DP is AC My Baby.  The brown was a Basic Grey scrap.  My sentiment is a Pebbles clear stamp.   

Here's our sketch...  (then I'll show you my other attempts!)  This week, we're re-playing Patti's favorite from 2017. 




And here's the prize for the week... Two cute little 2 x 2 stamps that make great backgrounds and a shimmer pen.



Now my previous creations...  Card #1 made using an already printed image from Doodle Pantry and a paper from my scrap box.  I like it, by it's kind of dull! 



Card #2 made using another already printed image, Authentique Latest & Greatest DP, adhesive dots, and clear Pebbles sentiment.  This one had a little more life to it. ;) 


Which do you like best?? :)

Birthday blessings - TMS #437


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



I used another printed-and-ready-and-waiting image.   My paper is Authentique Latest & Greatest.  I used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics, Standard Circles, Squares, and Lacey Pennants.  My sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy Pennant Party.

This week's sketch revisit is Janice's favorite...

Love - TMS #436


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



I used some more Fancy Pants scraps this week.  My image is one from Doodle Pantry (now closed) that I've had printed for a long time.  No need to be impressed that I'm starting Valentine cards... I'm just really trying to use up the many, many, many images I have already printed. :D   It's cut out using Spellbinders Scalloped Hearts.  My panels were cut using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics.  I finished it off with a bit of ribbon and some enamel dots.  (I know 3 would look better, but I only had 2 left of this color! :D )

Here's our sketch for this week... this one is my favorite from last year...

Thank you - TMS #435


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

It's good to be back!  Our last challenge was 3 wks ago, and in that time, I had a wonderful Christmas celebrating Christ's birth, a great vacation with my family, enjoyed time with my college girls home, and so... I created nothing!  I went to my craft room for the first time over the weekend and made this.  I need several thank you cards, so may make a few more just like this one.  



My paper is all scraps, but I think it's Fancy Pants.  My panels are cut using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics and CottageCutz Stitched Rectangles.  The fishtails are from Spellbinders Lacey Pennants.  My sentiment is a clear one floating around on my desk stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black.  My flower is made with my new dies... Obsession Impressions Scribbled Circles.  ((I've wanted these for a long time, and after receiving some money for Christmas, I bought them!))  The leaves are Spellbinders Foliage.  


For the first few weeks of each year, we revisit our teams' favorite sketches from the past year.  The first is Carol's favorite from TMS #416...




***TMS is sponsoring this week and the prize is a Taylored Expressions embossing folder.
