Tuesday Morning Sketches #138

Good Morning Everyone -

It's a great day at Tuesday Morning Sketches. It's also the first day of Spring - yeah!! I hope that we don't get snow, but it's so cold here tonight you never know what will blow in. This week we have a fabulous sketch by DT member Kathy and a fabulous returning sponsor - The Stamping Boutique.

We are all very excited at TMS - we have reached 500 followers. Now if we could have that many participants how fabulous that would be! To celebrate 500 followers Melissa will send a randomly drawn winner a small prize package containing some ribbons, buttons and a few other fun little embellishments. I will also send the winner a surprise. Here's how to be in the drawing:

1) Play along with the challenge
2) Visit each of the DT blogs to leave a little love
3) Like us on our Facebook page (see sidebar link - on TMS blog)
4) Come back here to link your project and leave a comment here that says I DID IT!!

For my card today I needed a birthday card for my teammate. Her birthday was yesterday and I totally forgot! I really like how this card came out. I would've never thought to put green and purple together and I think it looks awesome! I also learned to use the Cricut Craftroom and pulled the ovals together to make one cut. I still need a bit of work in getting the scallops behind it to be a bit more tighter, but it works.

I hope that you liked my card. I appreciate your stopping by. 

Have an awesome day!!

Love the look of these colors together, so pretty. Great image and love the seam binding with it. Did you say you cut the double oval together???!!! I really need to learn how to better use my cricket! That looks so pretty the way you've layered and cut the ovals and mat!
