I donut know what I'd do without you - TMS #677

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This was a fun card to make!  I made it for my husband, and it made its way to his desk this morning along with a couple of donuts. :)  

My paper is DCWV Pastel Patterns Mat Stack.  My image and sentiment are Honey Bee Stamps Love You S'More.  The main donut and sentiment are stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black, clear heat embossed, and colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.  The donuts on the BG are stamped with Hero Arts Soft Granite.

And here's our sketch...

Floral thank you - C4G #182

 Good morning!  It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!!  Our theme is "shades of blue"!  I have to tell you that I seldom use blue for girl cards, but I think I made it work...

This is very simple, but still pretty, IMHO ;)  

My paper is from Pebbles Family Ties.  The flower is The Ton Peony Memories Cardmaking layered stamps.  It's stamped with Pinkfresh Studio Morning Sky and Over the Hills ink sets.  The sentiment is Poppystamps Playful Thank You. 

FInd your shades of blue and come over to play along at Cardz 4 Galz #182! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Happy birthday - TMS #676

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've got a fun birthday card for you...

My image is Digi Doodle Special Delivery.  If you visit my blog regularly, you know I often use a printed-and-waiting digital image because when I would print digital stamps, I usually made multiples to have on hand (or in case I'd mess up).  But let me tell you just how OLD this one is!  Click HERE to see when I used this image first... and most likely printed the one on today's card.  Yeah... 2012!  Ten. Years. Ago.  

My paper is MME Portobello Road cut out with Kat Scrappiness Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles.  My image is cut out with Die-versions Stitched Circles.  My sentiment is Sweet n Sassy Birthday Greetings and cut out with CottageCutz Stitched Rectangles.  The banners are Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners. 

Here's the fun sketch...

Smiles across the miles

 This card I just made for fun (and to enter into a few challenges).  I have to say it was VERY fun to make!!  I saw this die set months ago and wanted it, but it was out of my budget at the time.  A couple of weeks ago, I was in Hobby Lobby, and they had quite a few dies with sale stickers.  This was one of them.  I was very excited!!  I bought it then went looking for the coordinating stamp set.  I found it (It was on sale, too!!), and voilà... my card...

I created the BG with Paper Rose Abstract Trees stencil and TH stormy sky Distress Oxide Ink and TH peeled paint Distress Ink.  The car die that I was so happy to find is Spellbinders Sunday Drive.  Both sentiments are from Sunday Drive All-Occasion Sentiments.  "Miss you" is cut out with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners.  Both were stamped and heat embossed.  

Challenges:

Word Art Wednesday - AG uplifting/family friendly

Dies R Us #200 - AG w/ die brand DRU sells (Spellbinders)  Sadly, this is their last challenge. 

Happy Little Stampers - HSL Sept stencil challenge

Happy Little Stampers - HLS Sept AG with Dies

Simon Says Stamp Monday - stamp it

welcome baby - C4G #181

t's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!!   Our theme is "baby girl" so I made a shower card.  The church we now attend is larger than our last, so lots of babies!  It's good to have cards like this on hand...

My DP is AC My Baby.  Both panels are cut with Kat Scrappiness Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles.  The onesies are Memory Box Baby Clothes.  The large letters are from an unbranded set, and the "girl" is from Pebbles New Addition. 

Come play along at Cardz 4 Galz and add to your gal card stash!! 

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!

Cartoon rose thank you - TMS #674

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This sketch was kind of challenging for me.  I wasn't sure what to do with the half hidden flower elements, but I ended up using the sketch quite literally.  My placement could have been better, but here's my card...

Here's my recipe...

CAS Christmas - SCC #140

 Hello!  It's the 1st and time for another challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!! As you may have guessed, our theme for this month is "clean and simple."  I have to admit that CAS is not my forte, but I tried, and I'd love to see you try, too!

My trees are from Raisin Boat "Nature's Reflection" and stamped with Hero Arts Lime to Forever Green Ombre ink.  I used my VersaMark pen on the trees and clear heat embossed for some shine and texture.  (See below.)  "Merry" is Pink and Main Christmas Script and "Christmas" is from a "Happy Christmas" die freebie that I got in an order long ago.  I cut them both 3 times in 110 lbs cover stock and glued the layers for some dimension.  

Time is flying, so create a Christmas card and share it with us at Sparkles Christmas Challenge! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
