I'm praying for you - TMS #654

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This week, we've got a pretty basic sketch and here's my card...

My image is Spring Blossom from Sami Stamps.  It is a digi stamp that was printed on vellum and "embossed." I have not done this is a long time.  You can check out some instructions HERE.  I cut a panel of Heidi Grace Daydream with Kat Scrappiness Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles then cut a circle in it to frame the image.  *Doing it this way meant I could adhere the vellum and the glue doesn't show!  My sentiment is Raisin Boat Flourishing Thoughts.

Here's the sketch...

Floral thank you - TMS #391

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!   Since our temps are way above normal and all our snow is melting (*sobs*), I've got a rather spring-like card for you...

My image is Ladybug Branch from Sami Stamps.  It's colored using Spectrum Noir markers and cut out using Die-Versions Stitched Nesting Circles and the frame is Spellbinders Standard Circles.  My paper is Paper Crate Flea Market.   My sentiment is Raisin Boat.   The lace and enamel dots are from my stash.  


Here's our wonderful sketch this week by Melissa...  (As you can see, I turned it.  Feel free to stretch it, turn it, and use other shapes... it just must be recognizable.)

To somebody special - TMS #354

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

This is one of those a-bit-of-this-and-that cards.  The green embossed panel has been floating around my desk for probably over a year!  [It's embossed with Spellbinders "Flourish" Impressabilities and inked with TH peeled paint.]  The image [Butterfly Flower from Sami Stamps] has been sitting for a couple of months waiting to be used.  The green cardstock was in a box of scraps that I had intended to organize last summer.  (Still not organized... most of it just got thrown out because I have way too many scraps!!)  The sentiment is from M5D. 

This week, we have a new sponsor... we're glad to have Pink and Main sponsoring this week!!  **The prize is $15 store credit**  The winner will have fun checking out their really cute stuff!!!

Here's our sketch... :)

Curious kitties - TMS #328

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

This week's sponsor is Sami Stamps.  I used Curious Gifts.   I made a Christmas card, obviously, but this fun stamp could be used for any occasion that you give a gift. 

My image was colored with Spectrum Noir markers and cut out with Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A. My fun DP is Crate Paper "Peppermint."  For embossing, I used CB Swiss Dots, CB Holly Ribbons, and Darice Ornament Hung.  "Merry Christmas" is a MME clear sentiment.

Here's the sketch... {...just realized I missed the stitching element on my own sketch! :-o }

Birthday cake! - TMS #319

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!  Is today your birthday or tomorrow or next week or next month?  If so, I hope you get a cake like this one!!  3 beautiful layers!  At our house, most of my family prefers cheesecake or cinnamon rolls or S'mores Bars as their "birthday cake" so I don't make cake often.  The cake on my card looks very yummy!  {Though I have to admit that while I love cats, I would not eat a cake if I found my cat sitting on it!!}

My DP is MME "Paris & Co" and embossed with CB Swiss Dots and a Darice border.  The baker's twine is AC and the button is Buttons Galore & More.  My image, that I colored with my Spectrum Noir markers, is Birthday Suprise from Sami Stamps, our sponsor for this week's challenge.

Here's our sketch for this week...

[As you can see from my card, you can use any shapes just as long as we can recognize the sketch in your project.]

Umbrella pals - TMS #299

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

We are FINALLY having some nice spring weather here in NY!!  The sun has been shining for more than an hour or two at a time, and I was able to go out without a jacket yesterday!  It felt good!  I do like the fresh feel and smell of a rainy day, too, plus it's fun to use a pretty umbrella! :)  Like these pals...

My DP is from MME Lost and Found Two "Rosy" and it is embossed with Darice "Cloudy Day."  My image is Umbrella Pals from our sponsor this week... Sami Stamps who are offering a $12 voucher to the shop for our winner!!

Thank you blossom - TMS #286

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

I actually have 2 cards to show you today and they both have a flower on them.  That makes me laugh because we just got over a foot of snow!  I'm not complaining because I love snow!!  I know my parents are ready to ship me some because they already had snow, got 2 more feet last week, plus they got more yesterday!  I can hear many of you grumbling and you are telling me that I can have yours, too, right?  I'll take it! :)

Enough about the snow, back to my spring blossom cards...

 My DP is Prima "Romance Novel."  The lace border is a bit from my stash.  The sentiment is My Pink Stamper "Seimply Sweet Occasions" stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and cut out with Spellbinders Standard Circles Lg and Sm.  The adhesive pearls are from Michaels.  The image is "Butterfly Flower" from Sami Stamps.... our sponsor for the week.  

My DP is pinkpaislee "London Market" embossed with CB Teresa Collins "Timeless."  The border piece is from a MS punch and embossed with CB Swiss Dots.  The "thank you" is from My Pink Stamper "Simply Sweet Occasions" clear stamp set.  Stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and cut out with Spellbinders Standard Circles Lg and Sm.  The image is "Spring Blossom" from Sami Stamps... as I mentioned, our sponsor for this week...
