Tuesday Morning Sketches #196

Good Morning TMS Fans,

We have a new sponsor - Saturated Canary and a very lovely, simple sketch. I have been so intimidated by Krista's images. There is so much amazing detail to her beautiful drawings. I almost opted out of this week's challenge. Then I found this gorgeous image - I made her a bride, but I think she could also just have on a beautiful gown. I do love how she came out. Hope you do too!

Sorry to be short tonight. I'm exhausted and I have a long day at work tomorrow with it being family night I need to hit the hay! 

I hope you'll take the time to check out the rest of the DT - they have done an amazing job. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day! 

There She Goes Release Week | Day Four

Today is the last day of There She Goes Release week. Today's set is just spectacular. I hope that you have enjoyed the week's sneaks.

Jessica and Tobi have been hard at work creating an AMAZING new set for us, Chalkboard Memories. If you are familiar with the VERY popular Chalkboard Technique, this set was created for that particular style!! It is full of SUPER cute images, and FABULOUS sayings…and the chalkboard itself? Fantastic!

Chalkboard Memories is a 4x8 set that includes a total of 18 stamps and will sell for $18.00. 

I unfortunately am not familiar with the chalkboard technique and had such a busy couple of weeks that I didn't have time to check it out. I look forward to learning the technique (when school is out). Now I don't get a lot of credit for the design of this card. Once again, I was surfing in the middle of the night. I even wrote down the artists name and her blog and now I can't read my own writing. I will find her card.

There She Goes Release Week | Day Three

It's day three at There She Goes Release week. Thanks for all the wonderful comments. You're going to just love today's stamp set. 

Our newest sock goblin from Wendy Leach…be still my heart. Larry is ready for a day at the office, can’t you tell?

Larry is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 5 stamps and will sell for $9.00.

I just love this sock goblin. I had so much fun coloring up this little guy. I love the sentiment it just spoke to me. I need to make a card with just this sentiment. I thought about that at first, but really loved the goblin, I had to combine them. I hope you like.

There She Goes Release Week | Day Two

It's day two of There She Goes Release week and we have two sets to show off today. I know you're just going to love these.

Our first set from Megan Suarez this month is the gorgeous new Dream in Color. We love the gorgeous style of this flower, and we think you will, too.

Dream in Color is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 2 stamps and will sell for $9.00. 

I love this flower. It reminds me of this bowl that I painted years ago. Painting that bowl took me about two months, I'm so glad this fun flower didn't take that long!

The newest addition to Megan’s Spice Girls line is the GORGEOUS new Ginger set. Isn’t she lovely?

Ginger is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 5 stamps and will sell for $9.00. 

This little gal is just too cute! I had so much fun coloring her up. Her face is just so sweet and innocent.

There She Goes Release Week | Day One

It's my favorite time of the month again! There She Goes Release Week and do we ever have an amazing line up for you.

It took a little begging, but we finally got Torico to illustrate a pirate set for us!! If you “need a little ‘aye’ candy”, well then “X marks the spot”.

Shiver Me Timbers is a 6x8 set that includes a total of 24 stamps and will sell for $24.00. 

I’m sure it comes as NO surprise to all you loyal There She Goes fans, but we couldn’t go without creating a companion set to go along with this SUPER fun set!! Leave it to the Trendsetters to come up with so many FUNNY and AWESOME sentiments that one set just couldn't hold them all.

Ship Happens is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 9 stamps and will sell for $9.00.

For my card, I chose this guy and the sentiment from Ship Happens because I happen to be working on this at my cousins house (who is not into stamping at all) and she saw the sentiment and laughed and laughed, I was just tickled so how could I resist not making this for her!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #195

Good Morning TMS Fans - we have a fun sketch this week and we're being sponsored by Clear Dollar Stamps.  If you've not visited this store, you simply must check it out. It's home to some of the most adorable digital stamps and papers.

I on the other hand used a stamp that I purchased from them over two years ago and never used. I bought the stamp when I was watching Trudy Sjolander on YouTube. I turned to her again, because I saw a video of combing Copics and Prisma Color Pencils. I love the effect I got. I didn't have the same Copic colors she used, so I made due and I just think this crow is just too precious.

Looking out the window again - and it's another snowy Tuesday. It's now three weeks in a row that we've had a major snowstorm on Tuesday. This is getting old! I thought this image would be too fun to color and think of spring. I guess he should be black since he's a crow, but I love the blue!! 

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day. 

Recipe: 
Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps (Something to Crow About) 
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics, & Prisma Color Pencils
Paper: Bazzill Basics (raven and avalanche); EP - For the Record; October Afternoon (name unknown)
Accessories: Cricut (Art Philosophy); Liquid Peals (buttercup); Ribbon (stash) 

Lighten Up!

It's There She Goes (Again!) Week. I hope that you have been by the TSG blog to see former Trendsetter cards this week. I just love this week because I love to see all the wonderful eye candy! For my card this week I chose to highlight the stamp set Lighten Up. This is such a fun set. There are so many possibilities.

I love this paper from Authentic. I love the combination of blue and brown. Look - no bow! 

Well I hate to make my post so short, but I have to put some final things together for tomorrow's science lesson. I'm so excited to be doing this electrical unit (the other reason I picked Lighten Up). It's so fun watching 8 year-old children using one bulb, one battery, and one wire to light up the bulb. It just brightened my day. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!
