Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Still working on Christmas cards...
I used a piece of shiny paper from my scrap box for my snowflakes. (See the close up below.) I used Sweet N Sassy Stamps Small Snowflakes die. My sentiment is from Raisin Boat "Merry Nature" and it's heat embossed and cut out with Spellbinders Petite Ovals.
See the pretty shimmer? :)

It's September!!! Fall is on it's way, then.... Christmas!! We celebrate (by that I mean work on our cards) all year at Sparkles Christmas Challenge, so we're ready when Christmas comes! :)
This month's theme is "Stockings"! And here's my card...
This is a Doodle Pantry (a long closed digi store) image. I can see that I need to replace some of my markers. They are not blending well at all, but if you squint, it looks all good. LOL
My paper is Echo Park Christmas. My panels are cut with Kat Scrappiness Wavy Wonky Stitched Rectangles. My sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Build A Snowman.
Please come play along at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!!

Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I went through and organized my card stash recently and realized that I have very few masculine birthday cards, so that's what I made this week...
Here's our sketch...
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I'm been making lots of sympathy cards lately, but this one is a happy card! :)
I needed a card for a wedding, and had made one that was very traditional. Then I decided I wanted to make one a little less so, and this is it.
I embossed my background with Darice Crackle. My flower is Technique Tuesday Cosmos. My paper was from my scrap box, and the green twine was from my stash. My sentiment is Papertrey Ink Wedding Mini Stamp Set and cut out with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners.
Here is our sketch...

Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I hope it doesn't make you sad to see the many sympathy cards I'm making. These are tough, but I always want them to be an encouragement to the recipient. I've sent several and am trying to create some to have a few on hand.
Here's our sketch that can be kept CAS or embellished plenty...
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!
Here's my card for this week's sketch challenge...
Good morning! It is August 1, and that means it is time for Sparkles Christmas Challenge!
This month, I got to choose the theme and I chose, "Christmas Music." I love Christmas music! [Shh! Don't tell anyone, but you might hear it any time of year in my house... :) ]
My paper is the Paper Studio Pine St. Square. Dies used are Memory Box Virtuoso Music, Die-versions Nativity Border. and Spellbinders Lacey Pennants. My sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie Nativity Sentiments.
Time is flying... December will be here soon, so play along with us and create a Christmas card!
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. Unfortunately, I've needed too many of this kind of card recently.
Here's our sketch...
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I'm last minute getting this card made, so no time for chit chat. ;)

Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Here is this week's card...
I had a plan for this card, but when I got to my craft table, another thought came to me, so I tried it, and this is the result. I am not a mixed media or watercolor person, nor do I try a lot of special techniques, but when I saw my square TH distress "stormy sky" ink pad, I wondered if I could make the squares of the sketch with it. I just stamped the whole pad on my card base. It worked. So then I needed another. I used my Hero Arts Navy cube. It's tiny, so I had to make the square. I like the non-perfection of it all. My sentiment is The Project Bin Classic Man. I like this because the inside could say happy birthday, happy father's day, or any other congratulatory message. The sentiment and frame are cut using Spellbinders Standard Squares.
If I try my other idea, I'll be sure to share it, too. :)Here's our sketch...

Happy Canada Day! I cannot wait until the border is open so I can go visit my parents and they can come visit me!!
On that note, I've got a Christmas card! LOL It's time for Sparkles Christmas Challenge #126 with a theme of "snowflakes (more than one)" so get your chill on and show us some snowflakes!
Here's my card...
I embossed white cardstock with Darice Dot Background and put it on the card base without a frame. I think the different texture of the embossing is frame enough. My snowflakes are cut from a scrap piece of paper. They are Spellbinders Die-Delites Snowflakes. My sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Build-A-Snowman. White is so hard to photograph well, but I assure you this is very pretty IRL!
Thanks for stopping by and please come play along with us at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!!
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I've not had as much craft time lately as I would like, but I know Christmas is coming quickly, so I try to make a Christmas card each week. (Even though I don't share them all on here.) So here is my most recent...
My DP is Graphic 45 Christmas Carol. My musical banner is Memory Box Virtuoso Music die. My sentiment is Neat & Tangled Joyful Sentiments. The adhesive dots are from the Paper Studio.
The sentiment is a phrase from "O Holy Night" which is pretty much my favorite Christmas Carol. I've been singing it to myself the whole time I created this card. :)
Here's our sketch...
Hope you try it, have fun with it, and share it with us at Tuesday Morning Sketches!

Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I've just got a simple birthday card for you today...
A card base, a piece of paper from my stash, ribbon from my stash, and a stamped-and-waiting sentiment made this quick and easy.
Here's the "sketch"...

Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!
This was an easy card to put together. The sentiment/focal point is a Paper Studio sticker that I had put on the circle for another project but never used. I grabbed 2 more pages from the same paper pack... Heidi Grace Daydream... and cut my pieces. I used liquid pearls for my dot element. Like I said, it was very easy.
Here's our sketch for the week...
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Here's my card for this sketch...
It's June 1st and that means it's time for another Sparkles Christmas Challenge!! This month our theme is "Krafty Christmas"! Here's my "krafty" card...
My DP is the Paper Studio Pine St Square. I cut my Papertrey Ink Kraft cardstock piece with Poppystamps Stitched Landscapes. I don't have a name for the set my sentiment came from, sorry. My skates are from Simon Says Stamp Snow Gear. I used a MS branch punch for some brown "greenery." LOL A triple bow of twine and a few adhesive dots finished it off.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to come play along!!
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Lately, the cards I've needed most are sympathy and thank you cards. I tend to make the flowery, pretty thank yous, but realized that I do need some for men, too, so this is my attempt at a more masculine thank you card.
