Fifty - It's only 14 in Scrabble - TMS #722

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've got a fun birthday card to share this week.  A friend just turned 50, so I used my Scrabble stickers and created this card for her...


My paper is Papertrey Ink Dotty Boscotti and cut out with an unbranded pierced circles.  I honestly can't remember where I got the Scrabble stickers. The other sentiment is computer generated and cut with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners.  My flowers are Prima flowers, a MS punch for the branches, and adhesive dots for the centers.  

Here's our fun sketch...

hello - C4G #206

Hello!  I missed the last C4G challenge because my son was getting married, and I had not planned far enough in advance to get all my design team cards made. :/  But the wedding was wonderful!! 

It's again time for a Cardz 4 Galz challenge, and our theme is "cute animals or insects."  Here are my cuties...


My image is a digi stamp that was filed under Beccy's Place images though I could not find it on the current site.  I cut it out with Spellbinders Postage Stamps and layered it on 2 layers of black 110lb cardstock for some dimension without actually framing it.  I cut out many pink and gray hellos to create the hello background after seeing this blog post HERE.

Get out your cute stamps or digis or dies and show us your cute animals or insects and play along at Cardz 4 Galz #206!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Our hearts are with you - TMS #271

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've got a card that could be used as a sympathy card or just as a card of encouragement...


It looks gray on my laptop, but the BG panel is actually a cream that matches the flowers in the DP, which was a scrap.  The sentiment was in my box of extras, and sorry, I didn't take time to look through all my sentiments to find where it's from.   I just framed it and added a fussy cut flower.  

Here's our awesome sketch that you can keep simple or embellish to your heart's content...

Magnificent birthday - TMS #720

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

I missed last week's challenge because my son just got married!!  Lots of prep before the big day, lots of friends and family visiting, and a wonderful, beautiful wedding!  So my son is now married and my house is now empty of company.  It was a beautiful wedding, and the newlyweds are happy in the start of their new life together!   It was so wonderful to have family and friends here, but now they're gone and I'm sad, so I had to make a card that would bring a smile.  This is for a friend with a good sense of humor! ;) 

My sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy Stamps Birthday Greetings.  My DP is the Paper Studio Poetic Postage.  The black panel is embossed with Darice Crackle.  The sentiments were stamped on a scrap from Heidi Grace Daydream.  I colored some adhesive dots to match. 

Here's the fun sketch...

Congratulations on your adoption - TMS #718

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This will be short and sweet as my son is getting married on Saturday!!!  I wasn't sure that I was going to get a card made for this week, but I was able to find a couple of minutes to make this card for some friends whose adoption will be final on Thursday!  What a blessing!  They waited so long for a baby and have made it through the 6 month (plus) waiting period.  


I've had the sentiment ready and waiting for all the months of waiting. :)  It is from Honey Bee Stamps Woodland Babies.  My stitched cow is from Cheapo Dies.  The paper is AC My Baby.  

Here's our fun sketch...

Have a sweet Christmas - SCC #151

 It's August 1 and time for a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!  Our theme this month in "Christmas food."  (Though after my card was all together, I did question if a gingerbread house is really food.  :D While some are edible, many taste like eating concrete!  I will tell you that we ate the last one that my daughter made.  We definitely ate all the candy decorations off of it. LOL)

My image and sentiment are from my overfull box of digi images that I printed a few years ago and am still using up!  It's Doodle Pantry, I think.  Both panels are cut with Kat Scrappiness Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles. The sentiment is cut with a stitched banner.  I thought it all looked a little too bare, so I added a few red adhesive dots. 

Please come and play along with us!
