I hope you're having a great week!!  I sure am!  My aforementioned coffee loving daughter just graduated Summa Cum Laude from Pensacola Christian College on Friday!  So proud of her!  

This week, we are on vacation enjoying SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa.  For Mother's Day, my family took me to lunch at Sharks Underwater Grill at SeaWorld.  So cool!!

Great is Thy Faithfulness - TMS #502

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

I'm thankful for the ability to pre-schedule posts... I'm on vacation!!! Woot! Woot!  We're on our way to FL for my daughter's college graduation, then we're spending a couple of weeks as a family riding roller coasters!  And we'll probably do some other fun stuff, too. ;) 

Anyway, here's my card...

I used Sweet n Sassy Stamps Hymn Block Clear Stamps for my sentiment. "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" is one of my favorite hymns!  I was singing it the whole time I was making my card.  It's cut out using CottageCutz Stitched Rectangles.  My butterflies are from a stamp and die set... Butterflies #3 from Sizzex/Hero Arts.  (I found that funny as I looked at the packaging after using them.  They are pretty old.  I don't know when the companies stopped associating with one another, but must have been awhile ago because the company that owns Sizzix in now suing Hero Arts, among others!! SMH!)  I stamped the butterflies with VersaColor Lapislazuli, Old Rose, and Laurel Leaf, clear heat embossed them, colored them with my Spectrum Noir markers, and cut them out using the coordinating dies in the set.  My BG is DCWV corrugated paper that I've had forever!  My sentiment is also stamped with Lapislazuli and clear heat embossed.  

This week we're playing with one of my sketches.  Sometimes, I sit at my computer and play around with shapes and elements to create the sketch and sometimes I look at a card I've previously made but not posted on my blog and "sketch" it, which is what I did this time.  Here's the sketch and then the card that inspired it...

The DP is Making Memories Pitter Patter.  (More paper which I've had forever!)  I cut the circles out of the paper.  My teddy bear is Doodle Pantry, I think.  Stamped my sentiment and tied some baker's twine, and it was all done.  

I was hoping to have time to make some more cards with this sketch.  I could see the circles being snowflakes for a Christmas card or flowers for just about any occasion, or even all elements stamped for a CAS one-layer card.  You could try one of these ideas and show me! :)

Embossed holly - SCC #100

Happy May!  A new month means a new Sparkles Christmas Challenge!!   This month our theme is "Let's See Some Holly."

As first glance, you may wonder where my holly is... it's in the background stamp that I heat embossed in white.  This card is sooo pretty IRL!!!

My embossed holly is "Christmas Holly Background Stamp" from JustRite.  The sentiment is a Momenta clear stamp that I stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and clear heat embossed. The paper was from my scrap box, and the ribbon is from my stash. 

We're leaving in just 4 days to go to my daughter's college graduation and then taking our family vacation!  I'm so excited but very busy, so no time for chitchat today. :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!
