Tuesday Morning Sketches #427

Well hello and happy Trick or Treat day!  

As much as I like fall I pretty much still give up summer kicking & screaming (on the inside of course, you know what I mean).  I just love flowers, colors and sunshine.  Fall has a beauty all it's own but I'm definitely a spring & summer girl. 

The reason why I brought that up is that I tried, I really really did try to make a fall card this week.  I started one in pretty New England Ivy and Nutmeg, then another in Nutmeg with gold accents and they're still sitting on my table.  I may never finish them lol.  

One thing led to another and I succumbed to my Kraft addiction once again.  I thought I was pretty tricky when I trimmed a little thin piece of foam tape to put behind the white & gold ribbon but my most favorite treat on this card is how cool the gold shimmer looks on the embossed hearts - a ton better in person but you can get an idea of about how it looks in the photo, glitter/shimmer is so hard to capture in a pic. Sorry for the shadows.

I'm not elaborating much today so if you have any questions just let me know in your comments and I'll be happy to answer.  

If your reading this blog I'm sure you are a Treator and no longer a Treatee so I hope you have or have had fun with your little visitors this evening. 

I do appreciate you stopping by and would love to have you play along with us this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #426

Well hello!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  This week we have another great sketch and prize at Tuesday Morning Sketches #426.  

I actually made a couple of other cards this past week that I should be posting - we'll see!!!  As for my TMS card, I wish I didn't cut off quite so much of my circle but I didn't dislike it enough to do it over (close though but laziness won).  I can't remember how long I've been hoarding this glittery border trim but when I saw the sketch this week I knew right away at least some of it was going to get used :)  yes I still have just a few of those cute layered butterflies I purchased at a neat little stationary store in Tucson, AZ a while back.  The Rose Embossing folder and the stamps are current from Close to My Heart.

This week our TMS team is sponsoring and the prize is this way cool Anna Griffin Cain Paisley embossing folder!  I hope you play along - good luck!!

We'll all be your best friend if you stop by and give us your thoughts!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #425

Yikes!  I thought I turned over a new leaf and wasn't going to EVER be late again--oopsey!! 

Here's what I made for TMS #425 our sponsor once again is  Bugaboo Stamps, the prize is 4 images of the winner's choice.  Have fun trying to make up your mind on that lol!

I hope I didn't interpret the sketch too loosely  This adorable digi image is called Penguin Joy.  I decided to go digital on the inside too and print out a verse and Merry Christmas on my cards before adding the front.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #424

Hello & hold the door, it's Tuesday again already!

TMS #424 was created by our fearless leader Melissa Craig. Our team is sponsoring a $10 gift card - your choice Hobby Lobby or Starbucks. 

I am slowly getting a little better each week.  I clearly need to get into some type of exercise routine.  My age seems to really be giving me the creaks & groans lately, and I just haven't bounced back from this little virus as quick as usual.  I feel like I jinxed myself by proudly thinking, I haven't caught anything for just over a year.  Then bam - caught something.  


Guess I'm still on a Red, White & Kraft kick.  I love that combo.  I decided to start getting ready for a little card making gathering with some friends this month.  I think they will like this.  All supplies are CTMH and all are still available except for the corrugated stars they've been retired several years but I have 100 of them so wanted to create something with those.  I think my fav thing I used is the Confetti Stars embossing folder.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #423

Hi everyone,

Low and behold I will have my post up on time this week!  I'm so under the weather and then with all the sadness going on in our crazy world.  I'm just going to make it short and sweet.  I'll be praying for safety and tons of kindness in the lives of all of you.

I struggled so much with my printer the night I created this and then I realized that I used a cute cute image that is not available at the moment at our sweet sponsor Bugaboo Stamps - but they have been bringing over images from there old shop right along.  You will love picking out 4 free images if you win. 

I just feel like complaining about anything as petty as my printer is so shallow but I was frustrated with it and then woke up to the news about the LV shooting and things have a way of getting put into perspective. 

This week I'll be trying to focus on Philippians 4:8 -

"And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise."
