Tuesday Morning Sketches #142

Yes, I know it was to be posted in the morning and not in the evening!! Had some issues last night and then didn't get home until late this evening.

We have a great sketch and a wonderful new sponsor - Raisin Boat. You have to check this company out. They rent and sell stamps. I think renting stamps is a cool idea - no storage!!

For my card I used a set they sent me called Cool Treats. I chose the Popsicle in this set because I have to start buying them for my end of year school party. I am in a polka dot mood if you can't tell!! I flipped the sketch because I made my image a little bigger than I should have, but I love how this card came out. I love my little suns.

I hope that you'll play along. Please be sure to stop by the rest of the talented DTs blogs you'll be amazed with what they did with this sketch. I can't wait to see what you do. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #141

Good Morning TMS Fans -

Today we have a wonderful sketch and a great sponsor. Our sponsor is Digital Delights...and I got to work with this delightful Humpty Dumpty image. I love the story and when I saw the image I was too excited. I had a fun time coloring the little guy.

Okay, this was the first time really that I tried using liquid pearls...they're kinda tough! I love the effect it gave on this card. This week is also a Judged Challenge week - and it's to "Think Spring." What more "spring-y" than eggs? I pulled all the spring paper I had and I love the colors in this paper. I hope you to do. 

Here's this week's sketch and don't forget "Think Spring!" 

Please be sure to stop by the DT and check out their amazing cards. I can't wait to see what you come up with. Oh...head over to Digital Delights they are having an enormous sale on their digis!

SFYTT & There She Goes

I'm late!! I thought I had plenty of time to get my post up, but I got involved in a cooking show - me and cooking!!

This week There She Goes is sponsoring i(heart)2stamp ~ April Sketch For You To Try and we have a fabulous sketch to use. I chose to use the fabulous set called Every Child. I just love this set. I colored up this little cutie back at the release of this set, she just hadn't found her way to a card yet. Here she is...she is just a darling.

I really like this sketch...it's very versatile and I took a few more liberties with it!! 

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day. I am off to color for the day.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #140

Good Morning Bloggers/Crafters - 

I just knew it was the calm before the storm. It was in the high 70s and low 80s all last week. Today, our high was a mere 45. The wind has blown in and the snow is coming!! We truly need to moisture, but geez all at once. 

Anyway, today at Tuesday Morning Sketches we have a wonderful sketch from DT member, Marie. Our sponsor is Doodle Pantry. My apologies to Doodle Pantry for not getting my act together to select a digi. I was on Spring Break last week and totally didn't think about a whole lot. I'm just making the deadline as it is with my card today. 

Now, according to the sketch there should be two squares at each end, but remember it doesn't have to be taken literally - which only took me 3 years to learn this. I used the bow to represent the sentiment and the bottom square. I was also trying to go for a "vintage" look. I am not sure I managed it?? 


I chose this look because two of my favorite crafters, Heather Jensen and Beate Johns and a group of their friends have started a challenge blog of their own and their challenge this week is vintage. Their challenge blog is called Crafty Friends Challenges. Well I want to play along - I was lucky enough to play along side the two talented ladies when I guest designed at Flourishes and I love the idea of playing with them again. I selected From the Desk Of from Flourishes - I just love this set. I need to play with it more, it's just so fun to color. 


I hope that you'll stop by the rest of the DT to see their fabulous creations. 


I appreciate all your time and fabulous comments. Have an awesome day!

There She Goes Release Week | Day Two

I am so excited about today's release. I am in love with another stamp set. It's just so precious. I loved the set so much that I made two cards for today's release because I just couldn't decide which image I liked the most.

I think we can all remember back to a time when we idolized our parents, most of us still do, and we wanted to grow up to be JUST like them. I mean, what girl HASN’T put on their mom’s shoes, and what boy hasn’t worn Dad’s tie? Just in time for Mother and Father’s Day, Torico has illustrated the CUTEST dress up set I have EVER seen!!

When I Grow Up is a 4x6 set that includes a total of 15 stamps and will sell for $15.00.

Isn't she just darling? I just fell in love with her. I did not add a sentiment because I just couldn't settle on what it was I wanted it to say. I love all the sentiments. Heck I may even consider sending this to my mother - her 70th birthday is a couple of months away and she would love this. 

How can you resist this little guy? Isn't he just the cutest? I just had to color him up and make a card. I'm not into dads so I added the dog from the In All The World stamp set. That's what I love about TSG stamps - you can interchange them and create something totally unique.
