Merry Christmas - TMS #788

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  It's time for our Annual Anything Goes challenge!  No sketch, no rules, just anything crafty that you've made.  
 
I had big plans for this challenge, but this month has been busier than expected and that didn't happen, so I'm sharing something fun and easy that I've done for our family...  


I found these adorable stockings at Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago after Christmas when everything was 75% off.  I got  enough for all our family and 4 additional for my kids' mates.  I hope to embroider the names one day but just used my Cricut and cut the names in vinyl.  Someday there might be 10 hanging, but for now, there are 8...


My 100 yr old house is fun to decorate for Christmas!!


Our kitty likes to be part of the decorations, too. :)  But he's a brat sometimes... he knocked that train car off the track. :/



Wishing you a blessed and happy CHRISTmas!! 

Be sure to go check out the final creations from the TMS DT.  We've enjoyed creating with you so much and are sorry to say good-bye to this challenge!!


We'd love to have you play along with us this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches!

Bridal shower - TMS #787

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This is the last sketch of 2024!  But sadly, it is also our very last sketch.  After 15 years of Tuesday Morning Sketches and approximately 700 or so sketches, Melissa has decided that it is time to sunset the challenge blog.  We will still have our Annual Anything Goes challenge next week but after that, we say goodbye to Tuesday Morning Sketches.  It was a tough decision for her to let this go, but times are changing, trends are changing, and challenge blogs just aren't what they used to be.  I've enjoyed so much being a part of this team since 2012!!

It's that time of year, but I've got a cute card that is NOT Christmas...


I dry embossed a white panel with Darice Ranunculus EF, then I inked the area over flowers and leaves. Added a piece of ribbon, and my sentiment which is a rubber stamp given to me by a friend... no brand on it.  

Here's our sketch...  the very last sketch of 2024!  But is is also our very last sketch.  After 15 years of Tuesday Morning Sketches and approximately 700 or so sketches, Melissa has decided that it is time to sunset the challenge blog.  We will still have our Annual Anything Goes challenge next week but after that, we say goodbye to Tuesday Morning Sketches.  It was a tough decision to let this go, but times are changing, trends are changing, and challenge blogs just aren't what they used to be.  It's been a great ride!

Christmas lights - C4G #240

 Hi!  Less than 2 weeks until Christmas!!  It's time for our new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz, and you may have guessed our theme... Christmas!  Here's my final Christmas card creation of 2024...

My paper is bits and pieces from random paper packs.  My lights are Echo Park Christmas Lights dies.  My sentiment is from one of the first stamp sets I bought ever and the packaging is long gone, so I don't know who made it. :/ 

Please come over and play at Cardz 4 Galz!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day and a very Merry CHRISTmas!!

Glory to the newborn King - SCC #167

 Happy December 1st!!  Christmas is almost here!!!!  

A new month and a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!  This time our theme asks you to feature a Christmas carol/song.  I'm using a phrase from the chorus of Hark, the Herald Angels Sing!


I stamped and heat embossed the Neat & Tangles Joyful Sentiment on a sheet of the Paper Studio "the Classics."   I added the Die-version Nativity Border in black and layered the star in gold.  

Time's flying, so if you still need to make some more Christmas cards, let SCC be your inspiration and come play along with our challenge!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day and a very Merry CHRISTmas!!
