It's time to celebrate! - TMS #500 and blog hop

Happy Tuesday to you!  
It's time for
Today is our
500th sketch challenge!!!!


And we are celebrating!!!  

We're so excited about this accomplishment that 
we decided to have a blog hop.  

Be sure to start (and end) with
 Tuesday Morning Sketches' blog.



I'm Debbie and I've been on the Tuesday Morning Sketches team for 7 years!!    I've loved being a part of this team!    It's been great to have the friendship and support of my wonderful design team members, I've been blessed to "get to know" so many of you talented crafters through our TMS connection, and I love the TMS set up - - a sketch with no seasonal or theme requirements attached that can be interpreted by each of us in our own style.  :) 

Our sketch this week (see it below) is a little challenging at first glance, but really it's super easy and open to so much possibility with stamps, dies and borders.  

Here's my card and it features a clear sentiment from Stampabilites that I've had forever!  I stamped it with Versafin Onyx Black and clear heat embossed it.  I cut it out with scalloped stitched rectangles from Cheapo Dies.  My decorative element is Spellbinders Roses and Thorns. I added Wink of Stella to the flowers so they shimmer IRL.




I also made a "casual" version using an image from Prettygrafikdesigns, Spectrum Noir markers, CottageCutz Stiched Rectangles, Impression Obsession Scribble Circles, and a Bo Bunny clear sentiment...




The prize I am offering is.... a set of 24 Spectrum Noir markers (Lights)



(If you win my prize and live outside the US, you will
receive a $10 gift certificate to Bugaboo Stamps)



**Be sure to comment here and link up your creation on the TMS blog to be considered for prizes.  Yes!  You could win BOTH here on my blog and the TMS blog.

Here's the sketch... (Seriously, do not let it scare you... the possibilities are endless!)

The next stop on the blog hop is...

You are a blessing - TMS #499

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

**Only 1 week until our 500th challenge celebration!!**



I cut a Kraft panel and embossed the top and bottom twice using Wonky Wavy Stitched Dies from Kat Scrappiness.  I cut the black panel with CottageCutz Stitched Rectangles.  The squares of Prima Something Blue DP are cut with Spellbinders Classic Squares.  The clear sentiment is Every Day is A Blessing from Memory Box.  A Prima flower, MS branch punch, and adhesive dot finished it off.  


Here's the sketch...

I love this Die-namics Soda Pop Bottles die set and matching Soda Pop clear stamp set from My Favorite Things!!  We drink too much lots of Coke products in our house, so this die is perfect!  My paper is all scraps.  The main panels are cut using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basic A and B.  I used CottagCutz Stitched Rectangles, Cheapo Dies Pierced Circles, and Sweet n Sassy Stamps Stars dies along with the Die-namics bottle.  See how cool it is?  It embosses to look just like "the real thing"!  I heat embossed the clear sentiment with white embossing powder.

Mary Poppins

The calendar says it's been spring for a couple of weeks, but... high 60's one day and then back down to low 30's and snow flurries 2 days later??  Crazy!!

So I'm manufacturing spring in my craft room.  :)  I've got clouds and flowers and wellies and that's just in my paper.  :)   Here's my card...  with Mary Poppins!  We enjoyed Mary Poppins Returns but nothing can quite compare to the original!  What's your opinion?

I was looking through my stamps, realized I had never used this one.  After coloring it, I went and checked Paper Playful to find challenges to inspire me in making the card (even found one with a Mary Poppins theme!!), and created this.  ((Actually made it yesterday, but got distracted and didn't finish the post, so I missed the deadline of one of the challenges I made it for.  Duh!!))

I think black ink will show up on the teal inside. 
If not, I'll put a white piece in there. 
My image is Mary Poppins from Kraftin' Kimmie.  (I've had this for almost 5 yrs and this is the first time I've inked it up!!!)  My DP is Pebbles Garden Party.  I cut a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece of white cardstock and scored it at 2-1/8" and 4-1/4" then placed my oval die over the first score and ran it through my Cuttlebug with the cutting plate edge even with the score line so it only cut half.  (I believe there are dies available to cut this type of card, but this is my homemade version.)  My image and sentiment were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and heat embossed.  My sentiment is Bo Bunny and cut with Simon Says Stamp Tiny Tags.


Challenges...
Kraftin' Kimmie #474 - spring (my paper is spring-y)
The Library Challenge #30 - Mary Poppins
Di's Digi Challenge - make it girly
Colour Crazy Craft week 12 - anything goes (must be hand colored)
Retro Rubber #107 - tic tac toe (yellow, heat embossing, ribbon or twine)
(My stamp is about 5 yrs old.)


Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

Have a beautiful day - TMS #497

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

Today, I've got a pretty simple card that was fun to create...



I used Spellbinder Flourish Impressabilities as a stencil and sponged Memento Potter's Clay ink over it.  My image is a precolored butterfly from Doodle Pantry that I fussy cut.  I used CottageCutz Stitched Rectangles and Spellbinders Petite Ovals dies. 

Challenges...
Word Art Wednesday #380-#381 - anything goes w. uplifting sentiment
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - anything goes
Cardz 4 Gals #93 - flora or fauna


- - - - - - -

I was looking at that card and had a thought... "this could make a pretty and simple Christmas card," so I made some. :)



Actually, I made 5...


The ornament has some shimmer
which is very pretty in real life!

Here's the sketch... this one can be CAS or embellished to your hearts content...

Christmas blessings - SCC #99

Happy April 1st!  I was going to get you with a really good April Fool's joke, but couldn't find one I liked, so we'll just get on to Sparkles Christmas Challenge #99!   Our theme this month is feature a creature!

I'm featuring one of my favorite creatures... a cardinal.  This past winter, I saw several either flying over the road as I drove or sitting in a tree.  The bright red against the white snow is gorgeous!


My image is a clear stamp from Sweet n Sassy "Christmas Joy." Sentiment from same set.  I stamped it on Kraft, colored it up with my Spectrum Noir markers, and cut it out with the coordinating die.  It's framed by a Spellbinders Classic Ovals cut that I embossed with CB Swiss Dots.  My sentiment and other banners are cut with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners.  My DP is the Paper Studio Pine St. Square. 

We'd love to see your Christmas card featuring a creature over at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
