Birthday cupcake - TMS #518

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

My image is Birthday Cupcake from the Paper Shelter. It's colored with Spectrum Noir markers.  My paper is all scraps except for the blue panel behind the framed image that I created with Stampabilities Distress Background rubber stamp, clear embossing powder, and TH faded jeans ink.

And here's our fun sketch...

Got a really busy week so this is short and sweet, but still want to say...

Have courage - TMS #516

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've got a few cards to show you with this sketch.  Unlike the last time when I kept creating because I wasn't happy with my cards, this time, I had extra time plus I was happy and really enjoyed the sketch so kept playing.  :) 

The first is a fun one, once again, using an image ready-and-waiting in my stash...

The image and sentiment are from Doodle Pantry, and the DP is Sassafras "take note."  I used CottageCutz Stitched Rectangles and Die-versions Stitched Circles.  

Challenges...
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - use a die cut (stitched circles and rectangles)
Animal Friends #77 - lions and/or giraffes
Cute Card Thursday #594 - circles
Creative Knockouts #310 - furry friends
Aud Sentiments #233 - animals + a sentiment


My second card is a fun Christmas card...

My image is from Bugaboo and is colored with Spectrum Noir markers.  My paper is Recollections Cozy Cottage, my sentiment is washi tape, and it's finished off with snowflake brads.  


My last cards are more serious.  These are for encouragement when a friend is going through a really rough time...

I've used this verse before, but cannot remember where I got it and cannot find it in any of my digi stamps, so I can't give credit.  My DP is Prima Nature Garden.  I used CottageCutz Stitched Rectangles.  My flowers are Prima and I used self-adhesive trims. 


Here's Andrea's wonderful sketch that can be used in so many different ways!!

My image and sentiment are digital stamps "Macaron Friends" from Graciellie Design.  I colored the macarons with Spectrum Noir markers.  My DP is Crate Paper Bloom.  I used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics, Spellbinders Classic Squares, and Cross Stitched Ovals from Cheapo Dies.  The yellow piece is embossed with CB Swiss Dots.

*Did you notice that I had my base DP layer upside down when I added all the rest?  SMH!!   Since you just scrolled back up to look, you can see the banners on the mail panel are upside down. :-O  Oh well!

Ready to throw some snowballs - SCC #103

The first of the month means it is time for Sparkles Christmas Challenge!  This month is #103 - It's Snowtime!  Let's see some snow!

For my card, I found a cute image already colored and waiting to be used.  This is Mimi Winter from Stamp Fairy. [This shop has been closed for several years, so this shows how many images I have waiting for attention!!]  She is colored with Spectrum Noir markers.  I got the dots on the scarf by using the tip of my blender.  Cute effect!  She's cut out with CottageCutz Double Stitched Ovals.  My DP is fancy pants winterland.  I fussy cut around the mittens.  The base panel is cut with Kat Scrappiness Wonky Stitched Rectangles. The ric rac is My Favorite Things Stitched Ric Rac. (Told you I was loving this die!)  I stamped the MME clear sentiment and cut it out with Simon Says Stamp Tiny Tags.

I hope you come play along with our challenge as I've played along with these challenges...
