Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I made a birthday card for this week's challenge...
My paper is DCWV Mariposa. My sentiment is Sweet N Sassy Stamps Birthday Greetings. The butterfly is TH Detailed Butterflies.
The sketch is Patti's favorite from 2022... #673 originally played on Aug 30.
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to go check out the creations from my awesome Design Team teammates...
It is time for another challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenges! Our theme this month is "non-traditional colors"! I went with basic, neutral colors on my card...
The tan paper was on my desk, so I stenciled it with gray ink using Crafters Workshop Sheet Music. The silhouette of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus is CTMH Glory to God. The sentiment is Raisin Boat O Holy Night. (This is one of my favorite Christmas carols!!!) Both image and sentiment are heat embossed.
We're 1/12 of the way through our year, so come join us and get started making Christmas cards!! :)
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I guess that means it's time to party! :) We're partying with Meliss'a favorite sketch from 2022. You can see my first creation with this sketch here. This time, I went for fun...
Here's the sketch... #681 from Oct 25.
It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz! And it is almost Valentine's Day! Since my kids are all grown, I have not make many Valentine cards for several years, but this year I actually have made a few.
Our theme this challenge is "shaped card" and here's mine...
Very simple to make. I cut down an A2 card base with the largest die from Spellbinders Classic Saclloped Hearts (making sure the fold was below the top of the die) to get my shape. I then cut the heart in red cardstock for the front. I heat embossed the sentiment which is Mudra Stamps Love Equation. I tied a couple of hearts in scrap paper with the smallest die and tied them on with baker's twine from my stash.
We'd love to see your shaped card at our challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! We're playing with Donna's favorite this week. It was sketch #659 from 5/31/22. Here's my card this time around... (You can see my first take here.)
My paper is MME Paris & Co. The smaller panel is embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots EF. My image and sentiment are Honey Bee Stamps Love You S'more stamp and die.
Here's the sketch...
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I've got a Valentine's Day card for you.
Happy Thursday to you! It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz! This time our theme is "clean and simple" or if you prefer, "CAS." :)
Here's my card...
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Welcome to our first challenge of 2023!!! As usual, we are revisiting the Design Team's favorites for the past year. Since my name comes first alphabetically in our DT, my pick is first. I chose sketch #648 from Mar 15/22. Here's my creation this time... (You can check out how I used the sketch the first time here.)
I made a shaker card. My DP is from a 12x12 pack from Crate Paper. The rest is almost all dies... Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics, Spellbinders Standard Squares, Spellbinders Classic Circles, and Spellbinders Yana's Layered Script Sentiments. I used FSJ Star-fetti and clear Confetti Sparkle. My stamped sentiment is from My Pink Stamper Family & Friends. It looked like it needed a little something more, so I added a few adhesive dots.
Here's the sketch...
Happy New Year! May you be blessed in 2023!!
New month, too, so time for a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge. This month we're living up to our name with the theme of "sparkle/glitter accents"!
Here's my sparkly/glittery card...
I created this with Poppystamps Stained Glass Snowflake, DCWV Hippie Chic glittery paper, CM corner rounder, and a freebie sentiment die.
Here's a closeup... I cut it out in silver paper for the frame and silver and red glitter paper to fill in the sections.
I know we're only a week past Christmas, but it's never too early to start for this year! :)
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
Can you believe that 2022 is almost over?!? This year has flown! And it is time for another challenge over at Cardz 4 Galz. Our theme for this final challenge of 2022 is "anything from 2022" so we want you to redo one of our themes for the year, but be sure to make it differently than before... we want a new make, no reposts.
I chose to reuse challenge #180 from Aug 25... use 3 of anything. I picked a stamp with 3 flowers.
My image and sentiment are Honey Bee Stamps Framed Anemones. I stamped the image, heat embossed it, and colored it with my Spectrum Noir markers. I added a few sequins.
Please come and play along with us at Cardz 4 Galz! If you got any crafting goodies for Christmas, this would be a great challenge to play with them.
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! You may wonder at the post title. "Uhhh... how do have charcuterie boards in a sketch challenge??" You don't. This is our Annual Anything Goes challenge which literally means that anything crafty goes. I decorated cutting/serving boards to make specialized charcuterie boards. :)

Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I think I can finally say that this is the last Christmas card I'm making... at least this week! LOL
My BG paper is Recollections Christmas Plaids. I cut Poppystamps Double Joy die in a piece of EK Success Julianne. My sentiment is Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Nativity Sentiments is heat embossed in WOW White Pearl and cut out with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners. I added a few sequins because it needed just a little something more.
Here's our sketch...
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I'm still making Christmas cards. [And you probably will read that statement again in the coming days. :) ]
Happy December!! 24 days until Christmas!!! :)
It's time for another challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge! Our theme this month is "non-traditional colors." I am very much a red and green Christmas kind of gal, but I do enjoy some non-traditional colors on cards. Here's mine...
Happy Thursday to you! It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz! (Can you believe it's December already??!?) Our theme for this challenge is "anything from 'The 12 Days of Christmas.' "
I am currently without a printer so my options were a bit limited for this, but I made my card featuring the "4 calling birds" line from the song...
We'd love to have you play along with us at Cardz 4 Galz! But whether you get all your cards made or not, or all your shopping done or not, take time to remember the Babe in the manger Who came to die on the cross to give life to all who believe!
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Here's my card for this week... (and close ups to show the sparkle)
I used my Kat Scrappiness slim line dies to cut the panels. The ornaments are Raisin Boat Holiday Hang Ups. I was intending to heat emboss them in silver... but could not find my silver embossing powder. :/ So I used Kaleidoscope. It is pretty IRL, but hard to photograph.
I cut an oval and dry embossed it with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots. The sentiment is a combination of Pink and Main Merry Christmas and a Happy Christmas die. It's cut out in a silver shimmery paper.
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! My card is Christmas-y, but I'll probably use it as a Christmas thank you rather than a greeting card.
Here's the fun sketch...
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to go check out the creations from the TMS DT...
Hello! It's time for a challenge at Cardz 4 Galz! Our theme is "use stencil(s)" and I LOVE the one I used!
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!
This card was a real challenge! I had an idea and tried it. That all ended up in the trash. I remade it with this paper, the realized I had missed a key element, so ripped it all apart. A few attempts and much frustration later, this is the result. Not happy with it, but I ran out of time. :/
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Christmas is coming soon!! I've got another card to share. I am still making Christmas cards though whether they actually get sent or not is another thing! :P
Here's our fun sketch... (As always, feel free to use any shape.)
Hi! It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!! Our theme is "watercolour background or image or both."
I can now say "Next month is Christmas!!" :)
And it's time for a new sketch at Sparkles Christmas Challenge. This month's theme is "Festive Things with Wings."
So here is my thing with wings...
My image is Sweet n Sassy Stamps Christmas Joy. The paper is from my scrap pile and my random pile of papers. The sentiment is from Raisin Boat Formal Phrases. Simple and mail-friendly, but still pretty.
Time is flying, so come play along at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!
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...
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.)
