Tuesday Morning Sketches #767

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 :) 

Tuesday Morning Sketches #766

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.  

Have a happy week, we know summer is super busy but hope we still get to have you join us this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #765

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!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #764

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!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #763

Happy 4th of July week!!  It’s time for Tuesday Morning Sketches #763.  

I feel like maybe Melissa received my vibes because I was recently checking out some of our sketches from way back and thinking that we should revisit them they’re just so darn good—haha and next thing I know she says she is going to do just that for our 15th anniversary this month!  She picked the year of 2014 in honor of Jessi Fogan.  She was on the design team until 2014 and left the team due to health reasons shortly before I got on board the team but I participated in the challenges before she left. I remember her as having a brave unique style all her own truly reflecting who she was. She sadly passed away so very young.

I had such a fun and busy weekend that I knew I had to keep this easy.  I just picked pretty coordinating paper and let it do the work.  I didn’t intentionally change where the sentiment was - I just forgot.  This paper is from Stampin’ Up and I was inspired by someone who was participating in our sketches to purchase it but I can’t remember who.   

 Thanks so much for visiting and now all you need to do is have fun creating with us this week at

Tuesday Morning Sketches!!
