Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! This week, I've got a masculine birthday card. I tend to struggle with masculine cards, but this one came together fairly easily. Check it out...
Here's the sketch... You can see I didn't follow the "instructions" exactly! :O
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to go check out the creations from the TMS DT...
I'm not working today, so I've got some extra time to clean my house and craft! Probably will do more of the latter. :D
Last week, I found a Visa gift card in my wallet with some $ still on it. Yay! I had a realization that a couple of stamps on my Sweet n Sassy Stamps wish list that had been out of stock were now back in stock, and my gift card had enough to get them. :) (I'm going to need to find a few hundred dollars worth of gift cards to get all my wish list items! LOL)
Here's a card I made with one of them. (I'll use the other soon and share it, too.)
Maybe you need this reminder right now, so I pray this card a blessing to you. It's going in the mail today to some friends going through a rough time, and I want it to encourage them.
My sentiment is "Calms His Child" from sweet n Sassy Stamps. My paper was from my scrap box. It is one piece that changes color. I embossed the top with Sizzix Cloudy Day and the bottom with CB Distressed Stripes. My border is MFT Die-namics Stitched Ric Rac. I used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics, Spellbinders Classic Squares, and Spellbinders Pierced Squares. I can't remember which one it is, but one of the squares was just slightly smaller giving the this black border on the sentiment which I think really sets it off. This was all adhered to a black card. (I almost always use black for my foundational layer on a white card, but I'm really loving the look of the black card base.
I am entering this into a few challenges...
Cuttlebug Mania 9/15 - anything goes
Aud Sentiments #260 - anything goes + sentiment
Word Art Wednesday #458-459 - anything goes family friendly w/ uplifting sentiment
Crafty Sentiments Designs 9/22 - anything goes
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Happy Tuesday to you! Another week has flown by, and it's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I hope you enjoyed your Labor Day off. We had lots of stuff that we could have (maybe should have) done, but we just chilled and enjoyed family time.
Anyway, here's my card...
Happy September to you! It's the first of the month, so it's time for Sparkles Christmas Challenge #116. And can you believe that it is only 115 days until Christmas! :)

Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! And since I know all who read my blog are fabulous, this card's for you! :)
My paper is from my scrap box. My image and sentiment are Hero Arts Mum Stem. I colored the flowers with my Spectrum nor markers and fussy cut them. (The matching die is on my wish list, but I think it's retiring/retired, so that may be a challenge to find.) I didn't have a fishtail banner the perfect size, so I cut the strip and then cut the end from a Kaisercraft banner die. I often partially cut an image and move the die to make it the size I need. :)
