Gamer birthday - TMS #481

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

Today is happy birthday to my baby boy!!  Except he's not a baby... he's 17!!!!  That does not seem possible!  He's grown into a fine young man who loves people and the Lord, so we are very thankful! 

He also "loves" gaming!  :)  He'll get a good laugh out of this little guy! 



My image is from Sherri Baldy.  He's colored with Spectrum Noir markers.  My paper is from an old DCWV All About Boys stack.  My sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy Pennant Party.   All panels are cut out using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A and B.  


Here's our awesome sketch for the week...

Hello - TMS #480

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  We're well into fall and winter is on it's way, but I've got a floral, much more spring-ish card for you. :)  



My DP is Pebbles Family Ties.  I used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics, Spellbinders Standard Circles, Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Circles, Spellbinders Blossom 5, and  Die-Versions "hello" Curly Words.  I cut the word in fun foam and layered it under the cardstock to give some dimension. MS branch punch for the foliage, and a brad from my stash finished it off. 


Here's our sketch...
  


Challenges...
Crafty Cardmakers #222 - lots of layers
Die Cut Divas November - anything goes

TMS #479 - take two

Hi!  Our sketch this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches was fun to use and after creating 2 cards which you can scroll down to see or click HERE, I had the thought that this sketch would make a great shaker card.  So I made one!


I stamped my Sunny Studios clear sentiment on the card base.  I cut a circle using  Spellbinders Standard Circles in 2 layers of fun foam to give a pocket for my Christmas colored sequins.  I cut the scalloped hole with Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Circles.  The DP is the Paper Studio Pine St Square.  I used MS branch punch for the leaves and added a Cassa Collection flower.

Challenges...
Crafty Sentiments Designs - Christmas
Addicted to Stamps and More #318 - holiday


As you can see, I changed up the center shape of the sketch and put my sentiment inside the shape, but the sketch is still recognizable which is all we ask...


Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

Sleigh Ride

Hi!  I've got a fun Christmas card to share today.  Usually, I would have most of my Christmas cards made by now, but not this year, so I'm checking out challenges for inspiration and creating.


This was fun to make!  I stamped the plaid BG using DRS Designs Woven Plaid in my MISTI with Memento Rhubarb Stalk.  My image and sentiment are from Sweet n Sassy Stamps Old-Fashioned Christmas.  I used VersaFine Onyx Black and clear embossing powder.  A bit of ribbon added the finishing touch.
