Hi, thanks so much for stopping by for Tuesday Morning Sketches #778!
This was nice and easy. I can’t remember where the dimensional sticker is from (either HL or M’s) - paper is from 6 x 6 pad by Craft Consortium Through the trees - thought it was perfect for the Dinosaur taking a bite from the paper :)
This will be for my grandson….so late for this year I might as well save it lol.
I hope you enjoy this week’s sketch too at Tuesday Morning Sketches!!
Goodness, already time for lucky Tuesday Morning Sketches #777!!
Considering I didn’t stamp or color anything for this card it sure ended up being a lot of work lol. Just used sections from a sheet of AC patterned paper from Joann. For the little strip that the cupcakes are layered on I punched the ends with a SU punch and I decided to add some eyelets - it has been YEARS since I have used those! I even had to pull up a YouTube video to remind myself how to set the eyelet. That took 3 tries haha oh well it was fun.
Your turn now to have fun with Tuesday Morning Sketches #777!! Maybe you will use some oldie but goodie tools or stash?
Hi!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by for Tuesday Morning Sketches #776!
This was super fun to make - glad I made two, here again one for a friend to have on hand and one for my own stash. This is my last little piece of black gingham ribbon. Pretty sure Hobby Lobby still has it so time to replenish. All the other supplies are retired CTMH.
Your turn please join us for Tuesday Morning Sketches #776 - hope to see your creation soon!!
Ohhhh maaaan! I prolly stretched this sketch a little too far but all I could see was little houses for the four panels. I was going to try and paint some but - have felt so out of practice and insecure about that lately. As you see I was afraid I may mess these up even if I just colored them.
Anyway all the houses were too close to the same height so all I could think of to achieve the high low style like the sketch was to add some hills. So here it is my feeble take of the fun Tuesday Morning Sketches #775. At least I can use it for the new neighbors that just moved in next door.
I’m sure your creation will be fabulous so I’m excited to see what you make for Tuesday Morning Sketches this week!!
Hi again!
Happy Tuesday Morning Sketches #774 day!
I have been meaning to make sympathy cards for two reasons. One is I asked a friend what type of cards does she use the most so I could make some for her and unfortunately her answer was get well and sympathy. :o( It is the case when you get to be a certain age that we need those much more often.
Anyway so I made her one of these then I made another for myself so that I have one when I need it rather than making during a sad time. Not sure what one I’ll keep and what one to give her, just thinking it doesn’t really matter. The second one I used clear embossing to resist the ink and of course the first one I simply stamped with ink.
I’ve been using Neena White card stock- it’s quite heavy for my bases. the other card stock and stamps/ink are from CTMH. One current thing that may still be available since I purchased fairly recently from the pretty Through the Trees 6 x 6 designer pad by Melissa Lowry (Craft Consortium). It has so many vivid deep toned patterns that are both beautiful and cute.
So you may be seeing a few more in the near future. I whatever the topic of your card I hope you create it with this easy and fun sketch with us over at Tuesday Morning Sketches!!
Hi & happy Tuesday!
It’s time for Tuesday Morning Sketches #773. I love this sketch but I didn’t like my card till I gave it a couple days then looked again and now I think it’s not too shabby at all! I’m glad I broke down and made a Christmas card, I used an old CTMH kit and Thin Cuts dies.
As you can see other shapes can be substituted for the hexagon (? something -agon lol) when you check out what our fabulous team at Tuesday Morning Sketches created!! Your turn!! Have fun!!
Hi and happy Tuesday Morning Sketches day!
Had the sheer pleasure of having my grandaughter for a sleep over so made this one really quick again. I used old CTMH stamp set and Sawyer paper. Feels good to use some older stash.
Hope you can join us this week for Tuesday Morning Sketches #772!!
Sorry for the wonky photography :o/
Hi!!
Here’s me hanging on to summer for Tuesday Morning Sketches #771. I keep thinking that I should make a Christmas card at least once a month but just haven’t quite conjured up sufficient desire yet. Especially when school has started again so everything starts focusing on fall, but I just love summer and summer colors way to much to give them up early.
So what’s your favorite season? So far as enjoying seasons I really love them all but as for colors I love Spring/Summer the most.
So now it’s time for you to have fun with Tuesday Morning Sketches #771!! Can’t wait to see your take!
Hello and Happy Tuesday once again!
It’s time already for Tuesday Morning Sketches #770. I struggle just a bit with square cards - not sure why. I decided to go with a 4x4 card because I have a pack of that size with envelopes that I really should put to use. This sweet butterfly paper is another acquisition of my last Joann escapade - I’ll be working with that for a little while!
Thank you so much for stopping by - excited to see what YOU make when you join us this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches!!
Hi! Here I am late again. I have had a super fun and crafty week though just no time to think about anything except enjoying my daughter’s visits. So my son and his family were together with us for almost all the time. That was 10 of us hanging out enjoying each other so much! They all love painting and crafting so that is what we did most the time with some games and playing with the puppies (our 1 year old BIG boxers!)
I had my card made well in advance but didn’t get my post ready. Here is is … my creation for Tuesday Morning Sketches #769.
I kinda feel like I need to go back and get more of these pretty little elephants. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I’ve purchased and used them. I have a colleague at work who loves elephants so this will be for her.
Super simple but super cute too I think even if I do say so myself :)
I hope you have a chance to play along with us at Tuesday Morning Sketches this week!!
Happy happy Tuesday!! It’s time for Tuesday Morning Sketches #768.
I needed to stop in at Joann for a new self healing cutting mat and a few things jumped in my cart again. This sticker set was just so cute and irresistible that I couldn’t wait to use it!
I picked out a few papers; two of a couple of them so I could make matching envelopes and use as much of the sheet as I wanted.
I know summer is so busy - life in general right? It’s hard to treat yourself to some crafty fun time but for me it is quite necessary even just a little bit like this simple card can go a long way to satisfy our creative craving.
So - I truly hope you get some creative time this week and that you’re able to join us at Tuesday Morning Sketches for this simple sketch #768!!
Well ARRRGH!! Thought I did this early but NOOOOOO - just crazy me. Oh well here’s the I made for the super fun Tuesday Morning Sketches #767
That’s all just late, short and semi-sweet :)
Happy Tuesday!
It’s time already for Tuesday Morning Sketches #766
We are still celebrating that Tuesday Morning Sketches turns 15 this month! We are celebrating all month long with old sketches (from 2014) AND small prizes all month! We always love to have you play along, but prizes too!!
My work friend is having a baby girl and normally that would mean that yaaaay I get to get out shabby chic pink stuff but she is one of THOSE no pink mama’s! She loves teal though so I still got to do shabby chic just not pink :)
Papers are from Carta Bella Flora number something, embossing folder, twine and pearls CTMH, I have had the little charm for 10+ years!! and the lace is from Hobby Lobby.
Happy Tuesday & thanks for stopping by for Tuesday Morning Sketches #765.
You may already know that Tuesday Morning Sketches turns 15 this month! We are celebrating all month long with old sketches (from 2014) AND small prizes all month! So, now is definitely a good time to play along!
Got this not so great idea to cut this panel with the heart out of a page that I was just swatching and goofing off with oil pastels. Most of the time using an element as a starting point and building from there works good for me but not so much this time. I’m not really happy with it although there were some fun moments when I was creating it I really don’t love it. Oh well - not EVERY card is going to be great right?
I do love the sentiment and I love how you can always have embellishments that match if you have some tiny dies. I just cut a portion of this die that makes little hearts for shakers (CTMH no longer available) on a scrap of glitter cardstock to match the first panel. I could have also cut the entire thing in the center of the back panel but I wasn’t thinking that good lol.
Thanks so much for visiting and I hope to see you soon at Tuesday Morning Sketches!!
How is your summer so far - besides flying by super quick? I hope it is good! It’s time already for Tuesday Morning Sketches #764 - wow the weeks seem like just a day or so long.
I did this at the very last minute because I thought I did it but couldn’t find it and all I can say is I must have had it confused with the one from last week. Oh well! This was pretty easy - just trying to make use of things I’ve had for a really long time.
I hope you have fun time to join us - even if you have to just pop some stickers and embellishments on a card it is so satisfying.
Can hardly wait to see what you make for Tuesday Morning Sketches!! We are having some prizes this month too!!
