Hello - TMS #650

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Spring officially arrived awhile ago and has shown a few signs of life in my area.  Crocuses and daffodils are blooming... then we got snow! :D  

But I think my card feels like spring even if the weather doesn't. :)

My paper (and my image was just a square cut from the paper) is Simple Stories Simple Vintage Botanicals.  My sentiment is from Hero Arts Color Layering For You Flowers. I stamped it in VersaFine Claire Nocturne and clear heat embossed it. I put a square of fun foam behind the image to give it a little dimension, too. 

Here's our fun sketch...

CAS thank you - TMS #649

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

Some days I'm not sure what kind of card maker I am.  I love lots of layers and embellishments, but I also love clean and simple.  Most of my creations are somewhere in between, but this one is CAS.  

Pretty simple... the flower is Sunny Studio Hawaiian Hibiscus, the polka dot DP is from my scrap box cut out with Kat Scrappiness Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles, and my sentiment is from The Project Bin Just Sayin' cut out with a stitched banner die.

Here's our sketch for the week...

Snowman wishes - TMS #648

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This week we've got a great sketch by Andrea.  Sadly, this is her last week on the DT.  We're so sorry to see her go!  (Click on her name to go give her some love and tell her you'll miss her!)  Andrea, you've been a wonderful teamie and inspiration!!  

Here's my card with her sketch. I've got a cute snowman wishing you a Merry Christmas...

My snowman was in my box of printed digi stamps.  I know he's been waiting awhile because it's been over 2 yrs since I've had a printer that would print cardstock. ;/    He's from Spyder's Other Corner.  I colored him with my Spectrum Noir markers,  The DP frame around him is AC Jolly.  (I cut the frame with fun foam, too, to give a bit of dimension.)  My back panel is embossed with Darice Snowflake Swirl.  My sentiment is from Raisin Boat Formal Phrases and cut out with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners.

Here's the Andrea's awesome sketch...

Have a cool Christmas - TMS #647

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Here's my card.  Yes, I'm still making Christmas cards even though I've sent very few the last couple of years.  :) 

My images and sentiment are from MFT Cool Christmas Stamp and Dies.  I colored them with my Spectrum Noir Markers.  The snowflakes in the sky are from Raisin Boat Merry Nature.  Not sure where the paper is from.  I had a few pads with just a few left (that I liked), so I added them to my scrap box. ;) 

Here's our fun sketch...

Merry Christmas - SCC #134

It's the first of March and time for Sparkles Christmas Challenge!!  Our theme this month is "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"!  

I don't often create a card with Santa, so I had to look hard for something to use.  I found a pad with this paper and some matching stickers, so here he is...

My paper is the Paper Studio Happy Hootin' Holidays along with the Santa and sentiment stickers.  My snowflakes are both punches.  I made this slimline to the sentiment would fit with the image.  My slimline dies are Pink & Main.  

Please come join us at Sparkles Christmas Challenge as we create Christmas cards all year long!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

Welcome baby boy - TMS #646

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  In case you were wondering from the title if there's a baby boy in my future... no, there is not.  No more kids for me, and no grandkids on the way.    

This was a special card to make, though.  Our church connected with a crisis pregnancy center and two of our adult Sunday School classes joined together to have a baby shower for 2 young women who are in difficult circumstances but who chose life for their babies.  I made this card for the young women expecting a boy.  What a blessing to help these young ladies and the new life growing inside them and to see how touched and appreciative they were!  

My paper is AC My Baby (boy version), my sentiment is Pebbles New Addition Boy stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne, and the BG on the sentiment is Neat & Tangled All the Sprinkles stamped with VersaMagic Aegean Blue.  Both were clear heat embossed.  The sentiment was cut out with Die-versions Stitched Circles. 

Here's the sketch...
