hello - TMS #742

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

This is pretty simple, but still very pretty.  (At least IRL!)  The paper is Prima Something Blue.  The circle is Impressions Obsessions Scribbled Circles.  I kept the center in so that the sentiment would show up better.  It is Sweet n Sassy Stamps Script Sentiments. 

Here's the sketch... This is Patti's favorite.  It was #709 played on 5/30/23. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to go check out the creations from the TMS DT...

Smiles across the miles - C4G #217

 Hi!  It's time once again for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme is "reds and/or pinks."  That's a good theme if you are making Valentine cards.  I am not.  My card is basically just to say hello...

My paper is Prima Romance Novel.  I love this die!  (I really need to use it more often!)  It is Die-sire Postbox and Robin.  (My "robin" is blue so he'd show up on the red post box.)  My sentiment is from Spellbinders Sunday Drive All-Occasion Sentiments.  

Please come and play along at Cardz 4 Galz!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Cherish the memories - TMS #741

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've got a sympathy card to share today... 

My paper is Prima Romance Novel.  The sentiment is a digi that's been waiting in my extra box for awhile.  The black trim was cut with a Fiskars punch.  It's hard to see, but there is a very thin strip of gold between the black and tan papers. 

This week's sketch is Melissa's favorite.  It was #703 played on 4/18/23...

Can't wait to see what you create!

Peonies - TMS #740

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  It's time for Donna's favorite sketch, and I cheated a little on this one.  I let the paper do almost all of my work for me. :)

My DP (and image) is Pebbles Garden Party.  I rounded 2 corners with my CM corner rounder.  I cut the peonies panel with CottageCutz Stitched Rectangles and made the border on the frame with an old Fiskars punch. The sentiment is The Project Bin Defined.  I added a few Caramel Cream Nuvo Crystal Drops.  

Here's the sketch... (This was #707 on 5/16/23.)

Jumbo wishes - C4G #216

 It's time for our challenge at Cardz 4 Galz, and our theme this time is "On Safari."  My card features an elephant which you definitely would hope to see while on safari! 

My fun elephant is LOTV Little Creatures - Far Away Friends.  It's cut out with Die-versions Stitched Circles.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  My DP is Simple Stories Botanicals.  The branches are a MS punch, and the flower is from my stash. 

So find your safari animal stamps/digis/dies and play along at Cardz 4 Galz!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

Merry & Bright - TMS #739

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

Yes, I've got a Christmas card for you.  I'm on the DT of a Christmas challenge, so I make them often through the year, but I made this one so I could use a new "toy" that was perfect for the sketch. :) 

I just got this snowflake BG... it is Poppystamps Snowflake Background.  My sentiment is Sum More Fun Tangled Tinsel.  The circles are Die-versions Stitched Circles. The extra snowflake is a MS punch.  The DP is Recollections Regent Street. The shimmer of the silver paper is so pretty!  Here's a different angle... 

Here's our sketch... This is Debi's favorite.... (#718 from 8/1/23)

Balloon birthday - TMS #738

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

As usual in the beginning of the year, we are revisiting the Design Team's favorite sketches from 2023, and since my name is first alphabetically, my favorite is first.  (This was #728 played 10/10/23.)  Here's my card, then you'll see the sketch...

This is a pretty simple, but fun card.  When I get down to just a few pages in my 6x6 pads that aren't my favorite, I toss them in with my scraps. This is one of them.  My balloons are MFT Happy Birthday Balloon Trio.  My sentiment is CB Birthday Wishes. 

Here's our sketch... hope you enjoy playing with it again!

Snow globe Christmas - SCC #156

 Happy New Year and a Blessed 2024 to you!!

It's time for our January challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #156.  Our theme is "winter wonderland" so you can interpret that and show us what a winter wonderland looks like for you! To me, it means SNOW!! :)  The snow is technically not visible in my card, but it is certainly suggested.  :)   I have been on many sleigh rides in my life, and love the crunch of the snow under the runners. And the fun of shaking snowy branches on those in the sleigh. (I intended to use my VersaMark pen and add some snow to the branches, but forgot until everything was put together.  Oops! 

My image is Sweet n Sassy Stamps Old Fashioned Christmas.  I inked the BG with TH stormy sky distress ink.  The front panel is Poppystamps Raining Frame.  I cut the circle part of Darice Snow Globe out of it for the illusion of something falling.  My sentiment is Raisin Boat Formal Phrases.  The branches are a MS punch and I colored some adhesive dots red.  

Start your year off right and start on your Christmas cards and play along with us at Sparkles Christmas Challenge! ;)  

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
