You might be wondering why I did vinyl on a tile for a card sketch challenge.  Like I said, it's anything goes!  But there was a thought process for it... when I first started paper crafting, I did mostly scrapbooking.  A friend bought me the original small Cricut.  I loved it!!  I then got myself an Expression.  Still using it!  I started making a few cards, began to play in some challenges, and got hooked!  Most of my early cards have a Cricut cut or sentiment on them.  I branched out into stamping and embossing and dies, so my Cricut sits sad and alone most days.  BUT I do love to make vinyl sayings for walls, t-shirts, and tiles and that is basically all I do on my Cricut E now.  All that rambling to tell you how I came about to making a vinyled tile for this challenge... going back to my Cricut roots.  :)  

I've seen this saying many places, so I don't believe I'm plagiarizing by using it.  I used fonts I have on my computer and cut the words to fit this 12x12 ceramic tile. I love the wooden look to it!!  (I'd have flipped it if I'd noticed the dark spot where the lower words are, but it is actually not as noticeable IRL.)  

This challenge will run for 2 weeks, so you have until Sunday, Dec 30 at 8 PM EST to play along.  Then we're taking a week off and will be back up and running on Jan 8. 

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!! 

See you in the new year!!

Snowman wishes

It's snowman time... though we don't have any snow!   This weekend, all my friends in NC and SC were posting snow pics, and here in NY, we have none!!  :( 

So I created my own snowman indoors...

My snowman and sentiment are Simon Says Stamp "Build a Snowman" stamps and "Snowman Parts" dies. 

Challenges...
Simon Says Stamp Monday - Warm Winter Wishes
The Paper Girls #165 - die cuts
Die Cut Divas December - winter or winter holiday

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

TMS #482 - take two

After finishing my card for yesterday's challenge, I was working on more Christmas cards.  I found a stamp set that I've not inked up yet, then I had the thought to try a nativity die for the 3 elements under the main image of this week's sketch.  This is the result.  I like it!  What do you think?

My sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie's Nativity Sentiments.  I cut it out with Spellbinders Classic Squares and inked it with TH tea dye before removing it from the die.  My DP is the Paper Studio Old World Winter.  My ribbon is Paper Studio.  The animals and manger is Die-Versions Nativity Border trimmed down to fit what I needed.   It does look much better IRL.  I'm planning to get some daylight bulbs next trip to WM so that my pics look brighter.

Here's the sketch again...  please come over to Tuesday Morning Sketches and play along!!

Challenges...
Word Art Wednesday #364-#365 - anything goes w/ uplifting sentiment
Merry Little Christmas #5 - anything goes Christmas
Make My Monday #85 - non-traditonal Christmas colours
Simon Says Stamp Monday - B is for... "baby Jesus"
Addicted-to-stamps #169 - Christmas non traditional colours


Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Got the tree! - TMS #482

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

Still working on Christmas cards, and this is a fun one!! 

My image is watercolor Christmas car clipart from Creative Fabrica. Such a cute set!  My DP is the Paper Studio "Pine St Square."  I used Kat Scrappiness Wavy Stitched Rectangles and Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics.  My sentiment is from My Craft Spot "Joy to the World."  It's cut using Kat Scrappiness Fishtail Banner dies.  My buttons are Poppystamps Stitched Buttons.  The baker's twine and gingham ribbon are from my stash.


**Come back in a day or two... after making this card, I had another idea for this sketch. :) 

Here's the fun sketch...
