I love you as much as my cat - C4G #287

Hi!  It is time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  This time, we want you to add an animal to your card. 

Here is mine...

I have not used a sticker in YEARS, but since I didn't bring all of my craft supplies when I moved, I bought some stickers (from Walmart!) for this challenge.  My sentiment is The Project Bin Just Sayin'.  Very simple, but still cute. 

We'd love to have you come play along at Cardz 4 Galz!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Congratulations and Father's Day and Christmas, oh my! - TMS #762

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  So last week, I had 2 cards with the sketch.  This week, I have 3 to show you!  When I saw the sketch, I could not think of what to do with it!  Then the ideas came flooding and I tried them all. :D  

Card #1...

I cut a panel of AC My Baby paper.  I cut a couple of layers of pink with Die-namics Rocking Horse.  I remembered that I had some mulberry paper from my days of trying to make tear bears, so I made the cloud with it.   My sentiment is from Bo Bunny Sentiments.  

Card #2...

My paper is Pink Paislee Outfitters.  The shape behind "Dad" is the outline die of Spellbinders Medium Peony.  (I wanted an irregular shape!)  The heat embossed sentiment is The Project Bin Classic Man, and "Dad" is Sweet n Sassy Stamps Dad Word Die.  

Card #3...

This was actually the first idea I had, but it ended up being the one I liked the least.  It's ok, but didn't have the "wow" factor I was hoping for.  It's Poppystamps Stained Glass Snowflake die with Poppystamps Stained Glass Background.  This sentiment is one I use a lot!  It was a gift with an order years ago with no label.  The snowflake frame is glitter paper and the sentiment is silver paper, so it is pretty IRL.  Just nothing spectacular.  Oh well.  It will mail well.  LOL

Here's our sketch...

dad defined - TMS #751

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I'm working ahead on my occasion cards.  Today, I've got a fun father's day card...

This was pretty simple.  My DP is K&Company Color Basics Radiant.  I cut the curved end with CottageCutz Double Stitched Ovals.  My sentiment is The Project Bin Defined.  I love the definition! LOL  

Here's our fun sketch... this one can be very simple, as I did, or very fancy, and you'll see some of the DT made it...

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.)

Happy birthday - TMS #732

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Today, I'm sharing my hubby's birthday card.  Shhh!  His birthday isn't until Friday. ;) 

It's technically not for his birthday, but my hubby (and me, too) is getting a new car this week.  Last week, our daughter who is a teacher was on her way to school.  She was driving our car for a couple of reasons.  At 6:30, it's still dark around here, and a big buck jumped out of the ditch in front of her. We're soooooo thankful she was in our car which is much larger than what she normally would have been driving, so she was not hurt, PTL!!  But... the car was totaled. :/  We did find a car just yesterday, so we're happy. :) 

The frame  is Spellbinders Postage Stamps.  My paper is We R Memory Keepers Sunsplashed.  The car is from The Project Bin Classic Man.  The ribbon is from my stash and the sentiment is Sweet n Sassy Stamps Script Sentiments. 

Here's our fun sketch...

Praying for you - C4G #199

 Good morning to you!  It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme is "backgrounds" which opens up soooo many possibilities!!  

My last couple of weeks have been very busy with work, travel, and graduations, so I was happy to find a BG that I had created a couple of months ago just waiting to be used! :)

Here's my card...

I had colored the background with some water color pencils.  I didn't add any water, so you can see it was just colored and not blended, but I liked it.  I added a BG stamp to it.  This is Neat & Tangles Punchinella stamped with Memento Bamboo Leaves.   My flower is Hero Arts Mum Stem colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.  The sentiment is from The Project Bin Defined cut out with a fishtail banner from Spellbinders Lacey Pennants.  I know that I recently made a similar card with this stamp and sentiment, but I have many friends who need this encouragement right now!   

Please come over and join us at Cardz 4 Galz!!   Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

Someone I love was born today - TMS #706

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Here's my card...

This is put together with bits and pieces of papers that matched. :)  I cut 2 wide fishtail banners and hid the ends behind the stitched circles.   My sentiment is The Project Bin Born Yesterday.   It could work for anyone, but it has a more masculine look to it.  I tend to struggle making masculine cards, but I think this turned out great, so I may CASE it in the future.

Thank you - TMS #682

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've got several cards to share this week.  I made the first one and realized it would look better if the panel was smaller, so I made this one...

and these...

Lastly, here's the first one that I wasn't happy with... (I'm sure you agree that the above cards with the smaller panel and wider frame around it look much better!)

My DPs are Pebbles Family Ties, Prima Believe, and Recollections Winter Frost.  I used up some pages that were "leftovers."  I always have a few pages that I do not really care for, but found that they are ok in strips.  Now I'll be able to clear out my patterned paper! LOL  The "thank you" is Heidi Swapp and "praying for you" is The Project Bin Defined.  

Here's the sketch...  (I'm going to use this one again for sure.  It's perfect for those extra strips of paper, so I'm planning to use some Christmas paper "leftovers" and make some quick Christmas cards.)

Gorgeous birthday - TMS #668

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

I created with background with a stencil and Catherine Pooler ink.  The sentiment is from The Project Bin Born Yesterday.  And a piece of matching cardstock from my stash is all it took.

Happy Father's Day - TMS #664

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

Yes, I know Father's Day is over, but I had created this sketch awhile back and made the card last month.  Just had to wait for this challenge to share it. 

This is pretty simple, but I think it looks rather classy.  My paper is MME Breeze "Fun Day" Today, and it's embossed with CB Teresa Collins Timeless. My image and sentiment are The Project Bin Classic Man.  I stamped the car multiple times using my MISTI with CP Mardi Gras to get the dark rich green color, heat embossed it, then cut it out with an unbranded stitched banner die set from Cheapo Dies.   I also heat embossed the sentiment. 

Here's our sketch...

Father's Day blessings - TMS #658

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I'm actually ahead with my Father's Day cards this year, and here is one of them...

My car is The Project Bin "Classic Man."  I stamped the cars with Versafine Claire Nocturne, clear heat embossed them, then fussy cut them.  My sentiment is Our Daily Bread "Father's Day."  My paper is Papertrey Ink "3 Piece Suit."   I swiped a black stamp pad on the sentiment strip to tone down the white a bit. 

Here's the sketch...  (I can promise you, I'll be using this one again and again!)

Love you to pieces - TMS #624

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've got a fun card to show you, and I can guarantee that you'll be seeing this stamp set more...

My paper is Bo Bunny Early Bird.  My image and sentiment are from The Project Bin Spencer's Set.  I used my trimmer for the DP and Die-versions Stitched Circles to cut out the sentiment.  I used my Wink of Stella pen on the heart, so it has a bit of shimmer though it just looks wet in the pic.  

Here's our wonderful sketch...

baby - TMS #622

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

I recently got some stamps from The Project Bin and thought this sketch was perfect to try out one of them.  My paper is AC My Baby, and the sentiment is from The Project Bin "Defined."  ((All of their stamps are on sale right now!))  I used a small punch and layered several circles to give the corner element some dimension.  Easy peasy! 

Here' our fun sketch...

Aged to perfection - TMS #565

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

Today I've got 2 cards to show you.  I made the first one, wasn't really happy with it, made the second one, and then decided I liked the first one better.  LOL

My DP is MME Portobello Road.  My image and sentiment are The Project Bin Classic Man.  I stamped them with VersaFine Onyx Black and heat embossed them.  ((I know it looks like I didn't stamp the car very well, but that's the refection on the heat embossing.))  The image is cut with Spellbinders Labels One.  I partially cut a circle then finished with Spellbinders Labels One for my frame.  The back panel is embossed with Spelbinders Maze EF.  I inked the edges to give a bit more dimension, and the ribbon is from my stash.  

Here's the second card....

My DP is Pebbles Birthday Wishes.  My image and sentiment are LOTV Far Away Friends.  I colored this cutie with Spectrum Noir markers.  It's cut with Spellbinders Classic Squares and the frame is a Recollections tag trimmed to size.  The ribbon and crinkly ribbon are from my stash.  

Here's our fun sketch...

Classic masculine birthday + more - TMS #541

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've got 3 cards to show you today!!  Here's my fave...

For this card, my image and sentiment are from The Project Bin "Classic Man."  I used the Paper Studio "The Great Rock Island Route" DP.  I used Spellbinders Standard Circles, Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics, and unbranded Stitched Scalloped Rectangles from Cheapo Dies.The doily is Recollections, and the twine and adhesive dots are from my stash.  


Here's #2...

This image is from Sunny Studio "Happy Camper."  The DP is Pink Paislee "Outfitters" and everything else is from my stash.  


Now for #3...  (This was actually the inspiration for the sketch way back when, but I didn't share it then.)

I believe the DP was from my scrap box and I know the image and sentiment are Doodle Pantry.  


This sketch Melissa's choice to revisit from 2019... (sketch #511)
