We lose/find ourselves in books - TMS #645

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Here's my card then the story behind it...


I've tried to spend a few hours the last few weekends trying to go through the boxes in my craft room and purge and organize and purge and toss and purge and...! I think you get the idea that I need to purge.  I'm not buying new things because I really do have a stash that could last forever.  But then... I don't remember what email came that showcased Altenew's Tall Tale stamp set, but I could not resist.  I know this will get lots and lots and lots of use, so I could justify the purchase of the stamp and die bundle. LOL  

My paper is Papertrey Ink Postage.  As mentioned, the image and sentiment are from Altenew Tall Tale.  I heat embossed them and colored the image with my Spectrum Noir markers. Most of the panels are cut with Kat Scrappiness Wonky Stitched Rectangles. 

Here's our great sketch created by Andrea...

Thanks for your thoughtfulness - TMS #644

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  We've had fun revisiting the DT's favorites from 2021, but this week, we're back with all new sketches!  

Here's my card for this week's challenge...


I've not had a lot of extra hours to spend crafting, so I am loving layering stamps.  Much quicker than coloring!  This is Sunny Studios Hawaiian Hibiscus.  The blue circle was created by cutting out a circle from a panel of cardstock, laying it over my card, and sponging through the opening with TH Stormy Sky Distress Oxide ink.  My sentiment is from The Project BIn Just Sayin' and cut out with a stitched fishtail banner.  (It wasn't long enough, so I die cut from the fishtail end, stopped before finishing, moved the die and cut the other end.  This is an easy fix of your die isn't long enough.)

Here's our sketch...

in deepest sympathy - TMS #643

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This week is Tammy's favorite from last year and our last revisit of 2021.  Next week, we'll be back with all new sketches!!

Here's my card...  (Sadly, I've needed several sympathy cards recently.)


I realized that I've used The Ton Peony Memories Cardmaking layered stamp set back to back weeks, but I did stamp several of these awhile ago and my crafting time has been limited, so I use what's handy. :)  (Plus I really LOVE this set!)

My DP is Crate Barrel Bloom, the small fishtail banner is Kat Scrappiness, the large banner is Cheapo Dies, my flowers are from The Ton, and my sentiment is DRS Designs Calla Lily Sympathy Frame.  I taped off most of the stamp, inked it up, removed the tape, and was able to stamp just this portion. 

Here's the sketch... this was #631 first played with in November...

O Holy Night - SCC #133

 Welcome to February! Today begins our "Use some gold" challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!  I could not find any gold paper is my stash, so I used gold embossing powder...

This piece of paper was in my scrap box.  My image is CTMH Glory to God.  My sentiment is Momenta Christmas Phrases.  They are embossed with gold embossing powder.  It's prettier IRL. 


Come over and play along this month at  Sparkles Christmas Challenge!! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

Happy birthday - TMS #642

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


My paper is Crate Paper Bloom.  The flower is The Ton Peony Memories Cardmaking stamped with Catherine Pooler inks.  My sentiment is the same one I used last week from Sizzix Banners #2.  (I'm trying to stamp a few each time so I have some ready and waiting.) 

Patti's favorite from 2021 is our sketch this week...
