Think Pink

Hello! I'm back for a 2nd day in a row?!! Today I have a Breast Cancer card for you using a pre colored free digi stamp from Beccy's Place. It's called Floral Bra and is available in both colored and uncolored form. I've been a bit to intimidated to try coloring this one on my own yet! The sentiment and ribbon are from a free set that Amuse put out a few years ago. My "Lace" was to use my MS Doily Lace border punch and then I added a few pearls on top to finish it off. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Off To School

Hello! Today I have a quick and easy card to share with you. My paper did most of the work! It's from a old (2011) Fancy Pants 6x6 pad called Off to School. The composition tablet is a Studio G stamp that I picked up recently.  The apple is from a Clearly Besotted set called An Apple a Day. The little pair of glasses is a sticker. Love the vintage look of the paper and I think this card could work for someone headed off to college too?? Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!! Challenges I'm entering are listed below.

Happy Fall Y'all!

Hellooooooooo!! Long time no see. :-)  I've been enjoying my break (and enjoying a new hobby maybe I'll share/blog about it later?!) but feeling the push to get my stock/stash of cards built back up. When I saw this week's Tuesday Morning Sketch it inspired me and I knew it was a good one to start making some Fall cards with. I have another idea rolling around in my head too but not sure if i'll get it done in time or not?! This card uses various dies and the sentiment is from a SugarPea Designs set. It felt good to make some cards again! Sorry I haven't been commenting on your blogs lately but I've been peeking in quickly here and there. I haven't really been on the laptop much at all this summer. Thanks so much for stopping by and hopefully I'll be back again soon!

Good Luck

Hello!! Finally made it back to the stamp room again. I've been enjoying the break, haven't even been online much at all. Sorry if I'm behind on visiting your blog. When I was feeling like I needed to be crafty I went looking for a sketch (my go to for some MOJO!) and found this Stella Says Sketch one. Loved it so had to play! Not sure I like my choice of the ladybug paper but?? Other than that it works! Thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy the long holiday weekend. Hoping to get inspired to make a few more cards this weekend?!

Kindness

Hello! Today I have some news to share with you before I get into this week's Tuesday Morning Sketch/Challenge. This will be my last post as Design Team member. I have decided after 18th months it's time to step down from the Tuesday Morning Sketches . I've had a great time and want to thank Melissa and all the girls for having me it was blast! I'll still be around playing in some challenges here and there I'm sure.

Ok onto the challenge. This week we are changing things up! Instead of a sketch we are having a Blank Canvas Challenge. I have posted a picture of the challenge below. You can find out all the little details over on the Tuesday Morning Sketches page.

To create my background.....I used 3 different TH Distress inks, an acrylic stamping block, water misting bottle on watercolor paper. Than I stamped my Inkadinkado  boat image and embossed it in white. Love how the white spots (around my sentiment) on my water coloring background kinda look like clouds. Added a gold base under my watercolor panel and some gold metal accents to finish it off. Really pleased with the end result! Thanks so much for stopping by and hope to see all again soon. Be sure to check out the rest od the teams creations.

Clean and Simple

Hello! It's new sketch time at Tuesday Morning Sketches. It's a CAS one this week. I've had these old K & CO 3D stickers laying around for awhile and thought this was the perfect sketch to use one. Added the sentiment and a few pearl type embellishments and called it done. Quick and Easy! Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of the team has come up with.

Watercolor Posey

Hello! It's new sketch time at Tuesday Morning Sketches. This week it's one of my sketches and I can't wait to see what you'll do with it! I used a Beccy's Place freebie on my card and it's colored  with my Kuretake watercolor markers. I added some stickles to the flower centers and used a distressing tool on my outer circle. The pleated ribbon is from Stampin Up. Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of the DT has come up with this week. List of challenges is below.

One in a Melon

Hello and Happy Spring?!!? Right? Even though it feels more like winter lately and they say we have more snow on the way on Saturday with as much as 6inches possible in places?! Anyway I'm in the mood for WARM weather and so I went for a summer card today! And nothing screams summer like a cold slice of watermelon!! I have had this adorable Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps digi printed out for ages....ok years actually and finally got around to coloring him with my Copic markers. Went hunting for a sketch to use and over at Sketch Saturday it was players choice to go thru their past sketches! How fun is that? Anyway I hope my card brought a smile to your face and warm thoughts to your day! :-) Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of your day! Challenges are listed below.

Puppy Dog Eyes

Hello! It's Tuesday so that means it's new sketch time at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  I recently picked up this older used SU set called For Father, perfect for those masculine cards! This particular image was done with my Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I used some jute ribbon and brads for my first band/strip. The second one is some card stock scraps. I was happy with the end results! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of the DT has come up with this week.
