When you are feeling low - TMS #509

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Today's card is an encouraging card for someone going through a really rough time...

In case you cannot read the verse, here it is...

I know this is a time when you

are feeling so low, lost and lonely.

I'm sure you feel this

darkness will never end.

Know that I'm praying for you,

that God will lift you in Him

and bring His light to

each new day.

This was among my printed-and-waiting stash, and I cannot seem to find who it is from.  My DP is the Paper Studio Country Road.  The ric rac is My Favorite Things Stitched Ric Rac die. The ovals are cut using Cross Stitched Ovals from Cheapo Dies.  I finished it off with Recollections adhesive dots. 

Challenges...
Word Art Wednesday #392-#393 - anything goes w/ uplifting sentiment

Christmas ornaments - TMS #507

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This week, I've got a Christmas card for you...

(It's hard to see in this pic, but the ornaments really

shine and are so pretty IRL!  You can get a glimpse below.)

Supplies...
~Raisin Boat "Holiday Hang Ups" clear stamp
~Versamark ink
~MS embossing powder
~the Paper Studio "Old World Winter" DP 
~Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics


Challenges...

Merry Little Christmas MLCCB #10 - June anything Christmas goes
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas #441 - anything Christmas goes



When I heat emboss, I put the heat gun both on top of the design and under the design to help keep the paper from warping.  I had heard that going under helps the EP melt better.  It's true!  I did these ornaments in a dark red EP first, but made a bloober, so did it again in the green.  I heated the green from underneath only.  See how much smoother the green is that the red...  It's cool!

Butterfly thank you + grad - TMS #506

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

Supplies...
-- Pebbles Garden Party
-- Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics
-- Cross Stitched Ovals from Cheapo Dies
-- Motion Crafts fishtail banner
-- Darice "Butterfly in Corner" embossing folder
-- the Paper Studio adhesive dots
-- Technique Tuesday Layered Butterfly    (I adhered the body right on the oval, but put foam tape under the wing for some dimension.)

Here's our sketch for this week...

Just like a couple of weeks ago, this is a sketch I made based on a card I had previously made and hadn't posted.  The original was my daughter's grad card... 

My image is from Digital Delights by Louby Loo.  The sentiment is Sweet n Sassy.  The paper was scraps.

Sending wishes - SCC #101

June 1... wow!  It's hard to believe this year is almost half over!

It's time for Sparkle Christmas Challenge #101!   Our theme this month... include a reindeer.  Fun challenge, but I don't have a lot of reindeer images, so I was happy to find this cutie in my stash of printed digital images!  Because it's so cute, I'll send this to some of our friends with small children.

My image is pre-colored Doodle Pantry Deer Wishes.  My paper is from my scrap box. :)  I love using up what's lying around!  (I could probably use only what I have and create until I'm dead without ever buying more... but where's the fun in that! ☺)  My snowflakes are cut with a MS punch.  Probably have never seen a plaid snowflake before. ;)  Simple card, but still fun.


Challenges...
Sweet Stampin' Christmas - May anything goes Christmas
Crimbo Crackers #185 - anything goes Christmas
Cute n Crafty Christmas #14 - anything goes Christmas
Crafting By Design - get ready for Christmas


Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!
