Grad cap - TMS #512

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've got a graduation card this week for you.  I know we're kind of past "grad season," but we homeschooled our children, and my son's celebration is not until next month.  
My son... my youngest child... my last homeschool student!!!!!  July 1, I mailed his final packet of exams and reports to Abeka Academey.  That was a milestone... after 18 yrs of homeschooling, I am ALL DONE!!!!!   Maybe I should make myself a card, too! :D 

My paper is K & Co Graduation.  I've had this paper forever but still have lots left... it's a 12x12 pad so it each card doesn't take much. ;)    The main panel is embossed with CB Swiss Dots.  My image is "Caps off to you" from Deedee's Digis.  It was pre-colored, but I colored the tassel to match the paper.  The banners are Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners. All other cuts are Spellbinders Classic Squares and A2 Matting Basics. 



Challenges...
Happy Little Stampers - July anything goes with dies
Crafty Friends #114 - use 2 or more patterned paper
Aud Sentiments #231 - bingo + sentiment  *I did down the middle - embossing, digi or stamp, stitching faux or real (my fishtails are stitched)

Here's our sketch...   this will be a keeper for me when I need a quick but awesome card!

U mean the world 2 me - TMS #325

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!   I'll get right to it.  Here's my card for today...

And here's another card for today...

I'm submitting my snowman card to these challenges...
52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - pick a previous theme (July '15 - snowman)
Holly Jolly Christmas - snowman

And still another one!! :)

Why so many?  I was working ahead on my DT cards and made the first card you see for today's challenge with All the World, a set from Deedee's Digis - our sponsor for this week.   Then I won a challenge last week that was sponsored by Deedee's Digis, so after getting my prize, I played with the new sets, too.  

Here's our sketch that I obviously had great fun playing with...

Thank you, friend - TMS #309

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!  My card this week is a sweet thank you for a friend...

I've been traveling (expected and unexpected) quite a bit in the past month, so I took a short cut and used a colored image.  Maybe my life will be normal for a few weeks, and I'll have more time for crafting.  [Ha!  Who am I kidding?!?]  Oh well, one can always hope! :)  
At least my most recent trip means I have a good stash of Lay's Ketchup Chips and All-dressed Ruffles and Mint Aero and Crunchies and more! ;) 

Here's a glimpse of the wonderful place where I was able to be last week... 

Our sponsor for this week is Deedee's Digis!  This adorable image and sentiment are from Love One Another, a really sweet set!! 

Our wonderful sketch for this challenge is designed by Jessi...

Praying for a good day! -TMS #248

Happy Tuesday to you!!  It's time again for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!  I'll get right to showing you my card...

I love how this turned out, but I wish you could see the real thing!  Our old printer didn't really print the colors correctly so I had to deal with whatever came out.  LOL  We got a new one that prints correctly, but I could NOT get a good pic of this that really showed the color.  It is more aqua/turquoise (see digi paper below) but it looks so BLUE in the pic.  It is soooo much cuter IRL!!

Our sketch by Melissa... I love this one!!

Our sponsor this week is Deedee's Digis!! 

Deedee generously provided images for the team to play with!  Thank you, Deedee!!!

For my card, I used...
~Deedee's Digis "Greatest Joy" colored image and sentiment - this is such a sweet set!!

 

~Doodle Pantry Fun Basic Papers

~Spellbinders Circles and Petite Scalloped Circles
~DCWV button
~Ribbon from my stash

Hoppy Birthday! -TMS #231

Happy Tuesday to you!!  It's time for our Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge!!   Welcome to our first challenge of 2014!

For the next few weeks at TMS, we are revisiting the DT's favorite sketches from the past year.  Let me tell you, it's hard to pick just one!!  When I first started card making, I found it difficult to follow a sketch.  Now, I love them!!

My paper is DCWV All About Boys.  I distressed and inked the edges.

 Angela chose this week's sketch.  It was from challenge #190 that we played on March 19/13. 

Our sponsor this week is Deedee's Digis now available through Diane's Daydream Designs. 

My image and sentiment are from Oh, Hoppy Day.  Isn't this a fun set??
