Tuesday Morning Sketches #545

Whoa here I go again completely loosing track of time!!! That ever happen to you?  Naaaaa I bet not lol!

Here is what I made for the fun Tall and Skinny sketch we have this week for Tuesday Morning Sketch #545.  I really don’t think we have done a tall one like this ever or at least not in a long time!  I made my first one using:

CTMH White Daisy and Rasberry cardstock, stamp set from Spruced up card making kit, and the current Mix-Ins patterned paper + a retired stamp set for the sentiment. The bird paper is from Ms. Sparkle & Co. I also water colored the flowers in the vase free hand but the vase is from the card making kit.

Second card:  Yesterday and Today cardmaking stamp set + Mix-In’s patterned paper.  The main reason why I made the second one is I realized that I added the wrong side of the paper to my coordinating envelope so I wanted to make a card for the envelope - then I ended up liking my second one better than the first.

I can’t wait to see what you made - our team did a fabulous job also as always! Have a WONDERFUL week!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #544

Hello & Happy Tuesday!!

Both my cards for Tuesday Morning Sketches#544 are made with brand new paper just released from CTMH on March 1. I tried to be really creative with the vintage one but I just can’t pull it off as well as our DT member Debbie!!  I had fun though and that counts too right?  I also used a Tim Holtz 3D texture fade embossing folder it is quite cool.  I was a little nervous because they are so much thicker than regular embossing folders.  

I hope you have a blast with this sketch and that you have a chance to visit Tuesday Morning Sketches our team blogs (below) and some of your fellow creators!!  Have a fabulous week!

I totally cheated by just isolating different parts of this one piece of paper for the two squares and oval.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #543

Hello and happy Leap Week! 

Four years ago at this time I was waiting for my youngest granddaughter to be born, she was almost a week over due and I had purchased tickets to see her thinking she would surely be there by the date or at least a day or two into my visit then the 26th - 28th came and went so I was betting on a Leap Day baby but nope. 

I had my other 4 grands during the waiting time so it flew by and we did lots of walks together as a family! I thought I would have to go home on March 1 without seeing her but she came on my very last day!!  She was born at home and I had the honor of holding her quite a lot before I had to leave.  What fun memories!

Now on to this weeks fabulous sketch!  You will love creating with it and seeing what the rest of our team made for Tuesday Morning Sketches #543.  My first thought was to try painting the flourish image and while I enjoyed playing around with painting it, I’m not really in love with my results, I just need more practice. It was also a challenge punching scallops on thick water color paper.  I ended up just using card stock for the black one because I could use the metallic water color with minimal water. 

Whatever you try or however you interpret it have FUN!!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #542

Hello thanks so much for stopping by to see Tuesday Morning Sketch #542! Goodness gracious I have fun with all our sketches but this sketch was EXTRA fun & easy.  It’s such a perfect way to use Washi that I went a little crazy.  I’m inviting some friends over to make cards so I just cut out the elements all in black and white so they can choose whatever they want from my Washi stash to make it their own.  I hope they love it :)

I can hardly wait to see what you make this week.  You definitely want to see what our design team made - superb creations!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #541

Well HI!  

Here we are already time for Tuesday Morning Sketches #541!! This was originally sketch #511 from last year it is Melissa’s pick. We are almost done with all the team picks, mine is coming up next week after which we have some fabulous new sketches!!  

Paper and inks are from CTMH and Arches Water color paper.  The doily die is Sizzix (I’m pretty sure).  As for the paint it’s just leftovers from my pallet so I really don’t know what I had on it.

First I was trying no line water coloring after stamping and the image was just too detailed for my patience level.  

So next I just used the die and free handed a few without stamping the image. I decided that I liked the ones with a little smaller roses but went ahead and used them all with different colors. I’ll definitely be trying this out more in the future.

Finally the last thing I did is outline the free handed flowers because I just thought it was missing something - what to you think was it better before or after?

Just a quick reminder that you can make great use of your layering paper by cutting some die cuts before you layer.  I’m usually pretty frugal with really special papers like this black glitter paper.

I can hardly wait to see what you create with us this week!  Have fun!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #540

Hi there and thanks so much for stopping by!

Here is what I made with this week’s Tuesday Morning Sketch #540.  It was a great sketch but I decided I didn’t love my first take and had to do another that I like a LOT better :) The sketch is so classic and fun, it is another revisited sketch from last year - I just love revisiting them :) this is LJ’s pick.  The prize this week is a really cute fun Sizzix Valentine’s stamp and die set. 

Everything I used was CTMH and all current except for the polka dot ribbon I think was from Hobby Lobby, it’s been in my stash for awhile.

I will be stopping by to see what you create real soon!!  

Have a fabulous week!
