Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Today's card is a simple card for a friend...
I used Pebbles Garden Party DP, an old rubber stamp for my image/sentiment, and Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics for the frames. I inked around the image/sentiment with Pinkfresh Studio Sly Blue.
Here's the fun sketch...Hello! Today, I've got my card for our next challenge at Cardz 4 Galz! Our theme is "dogs or puppies." Here's my little canine...
My cute little doggie is from Fred, She Said Winter Westie. My DP is Heidi Grace Daydream. My sentiment is Honey Bee Stamps Framed Anemones. I cut the image and sentiment with Die-versions Stitched Circles. The bow is a piece of ribbon from my stash.
We'd love to have you come and play along at Cardz 4 Galz!
Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
Hello! I'm soooooo late this month with my card for Sparkles Christmas Challenge!! I had a very busy time and thought I had all my design team cards ready. Oops!! So only 2-1/2 weeks late, here's my card for our "Christmas Flower/Foliage" theme.
The "GORGEOUS" title might seem a little prideful, but it's not my ability, it's the technique as you'll see...
I saw this card (click there or HERE) which led me to this video (click there or HERE) and I fell in love with this technique and had to try it. I have the world's cheapest foil that tears and is absolutely uesless in the kitchen, but was great here. I inked it with some Bree Reese alcohol inks that I got at Tuesday Morning before it closed. :( I embossed it with Spellbinders Scenic Poinsettias 3D EF. My sentiment is Pink & Main Christmas Script Merry Christmas.
Here's a closeup... I LOVE this technique!!
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I've got a fall hello card. Our temps have dropped, so the leaves are falling and the sweaters are appearing! :)
My DP is Pebbles Warm & Cozy. I cut the banners from one piece and added some Recollections sticker leaves. My sentiment is from JustRite Greetings from London.
Here's our sketch...

Happy Thursday to you!! It's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz! Our theme for this challenge is "green and cream."
I used AC Basics polka dot paper, Tonic Studios Champagne cardstock, flower from Sizzix/Hero Arts Butterflies #3 stamped with Memento Pear Tart, a bit of baker's twine from my stash, and happy birthday from Spellbinders Yana's Layered Script Sentiments. The flower is layered on 2 cuts of 110 lb black cardstock to give it some dimension.
Please come over and play along at Cardz 4 Galz!!

Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I've got a pretty simple birthday card to share this week...
Here's our sketch... (I put the banner too high, so my card is a little off, but shhhhh!)
It's time again for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz! This time we've got a "recipe" for you... a stencil, a sentiment, and an image. Pretty easy recipe. :)
Here's my card with a stencil, sentiment, and image...
My stencil was the first stencil I ever bought... it's from a set that was actually meant for cookies, but it's never been in my kitchen! ;) I inked it with TH peeled paint. My image is Hero Arts Mum Stem stamp and die set. Colored with my Spectrum Noir markers. My sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy Stamps Birthday Greetings.
As you can see from my card, you can use anything for a stencil. :) Come play along with us 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 only 4 days from official fall!! I love winter, but fall has to come first, so I'm always happy for fall. ;)
Cardstock and ink and dies and embossing folders all came together to make this card. I inked Darice Fall Leaves Background EF with TH peeled paint then embossed a Kraft panel. My pumkins are made using a technique I learned from our fearless TMS leader, Melissa. It's 3 ovals put together to make the pumpkins. I embossed the ovals with Sizzix Eileen Hull 3D Sweater EF. (I got the idea from pumpkins at Walmart that looked like a knitted sweater. They would be destroyed too quickly by my cat or I'd have bought a couple. They were so cute!!) My leaves are leftover Poppystamps Orchard Leaves I had cut when making last week's card. My sentiment is from Spellbinders Warm and Cozy Medallion Labels and cut out with a stitched banner. It turned out a little busier than I wished, but it is pretty IRL!
Here's our sketch... And my card is an example of using different shapes than the sketch portrays for the elements...
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Here's a fall-ish thank you card...

Another new month and another new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge! This month, we like you to "Build Me a Snowman"! (I really hope we get enough snow where I live to build a snowman this winter!!)
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I've got a fun birthday card to share this week. A friend just turned 50, so I used my Scrabble stickers and created this card for her...
My paper is Papertrey Ink Dotty Boscotti and cut out with an unbranded pierced circles. I honestly can't remember where I got the Scrabble stickers. The other sentiment is computer generated and cut with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners. My flowers are Prima flowers, a MS punch for the branches, and adhesive dots for the centers.
Here's our fun sketch...
Hello! I missed the last C4G challenge because my son was getting married, and I had not planned far enough in advance to get all my design team cards made. :/ But the wedding was wonderful!!
It's again time for a Cardz 4 Galz challenge, and our theme is "cute animals or insects." Here are my cuties...
My image is a digi stamp that was filed under Beccy's Place images though I could not find it on the current site. I cut it out with Spellbinders Postage Stamps and layered it on 2 layers of black 110lb cardstock for some dimension without actually framing it. I cut out many pink and gray hellos to create the hello background after seeing this blog post HERE.
Get out your cute stamps or digis or dies and show us your cute animals or insects and play along at Cardz 4 Galz #206!
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I've got a card that could be used as a sympathy card or just as a card of encouragement...
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!
I missed last week's challenge because my son just got married!! Lots of prep before the big day, lots of friends and family visiting, and a wonderful, beautiful wedding! So my son is now married and my house is now empty of company. It was a beautiful wedding, and the newlyweds are happy in the start of their new life together! It was so wonderful to have family and friends here, but now they're gone and I'm sad, so I had to make a card that would bring a smile. This is for a friend with a good sense of humor! ;)
My sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy Stamps Birthday Greetings. My DP is the Paper Studio Poetic Postage. The black panel is embossed with Darice Crackle. The sentiments were stamped on a scrap from Heidi Grace Daydream. I colored some adhesive dots to match.
Here's the fun sketch...
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! This will be short and sweet as my son is getting married on Saturday!!! I wasn't sure that I was going to get a card made for this week, but I was able to find a couple of minutes to make this card for some friends whose adoption will be final on Thursday! What a blessing! They waited so long for a baby and have made it through the 6 month (plus) waiting period.
Here's our fun sketch...
It's August 1 and time for a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge! Our theme this month in "Christmas food." (Though after my card was all together, I did question if a gingerbread house is really food. :D While some are edible, many taste like eating concrete! I will tell you that we ate the last one that my daughter made. We definitely ate all the candy decorations off of it. LOL)
My image and sentiment are from my overfull box of digi images that I printed a few years ago and am still using up! It's Doodle Pantry, I think. Both panels are cut with Kat Scrappiness Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles. The sentiment is cut with a stitched banner. I thought it all looked a little too bare, so I added a few red adhesive dots.
Please come and play along with us!
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
