Tuesday Morning Sketches #576

 Hello!!

Happy Tuesday!  Here’s what I made for Tuesday Morning Sketches #576.  I used the CTMH Floral Background Thin Cuts die and then watercolored the edge flora after taping off for a clean edge.  I thought it was missing something so I added sketchy lines with a Pigma Micron pen.  I’m not sure if it did that a little too messy or not. It sure was fun though so I made a couple more in other colors to make a set of 3 thinking it would make a nice little surprise gift to a family member.  What do you think do they look ok?

Oops!  After I finished I realized that I got so carried away with coloring and making more that I forgot a sentiment!! I try not to leave off any of the sketch elements but I kind of like them as is for all occasion...what do you think should I add a sentiment?

I hope you have a fabulous week and I appreciate you stopping by. Have fun creating after you check out what the rest of the team made—you’ll be so glad you did!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #575

 Good morning - happiest of Tuesday’s to you!!  I have to be super quick today :). Here’s what I made for Tuesday Morning Sketches #575.  I’m very much looking forward to seeing what you create-have so much fun!!!! If you have questions just post in the comments and I’ll be happy to answer.  Thanks for stopping by!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #574

 Thanks for stopping by!!  I hope your day is going great!  

Here we are another Tuesday in barely more than a blink - right?  Here is what I made for our Tuesday Morning Sketches #574.  This cute ladybug shaker is a retired CTMH die set.  It has a matching set of sentiments that can be stamped inside the window but of course I forgot that part :o/ but I can use it for the inside. 

After all was said and done I wish I would have punched a few more leaves.  For the leaves I colored the back of some diagonal line printed vellum, one of those rare times coloring a large enough area to use the chisel tip of my marker.

Arggggghhhh!  Does this ever happen to you?  I don’t know why sometimes it’s a big fight to get the orientation to show up right on photos, usually I would play around with it and trick it to work but I’m just not in the mood for that right now lol.  

Anyway you get to see the wings open a little more which was the purpose of this second photo so I guess it’s ok.  

Now it’s your turn, looking forward to seeing what you make & of course we would love you all to stop by the team blogs and say hi!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #573

 Just a little late today for Tuesday Morning Sketches #573!  I hope better late than never.  This was a really fun and quick card, I punched 10 little butterflies from Carta Bella Subtle Small Floral paper and layered them using both sides of the paper on top of Carta Bella Subtle Wreaths paper.  The sentiment is from CTMH’s Snuggle Up set that I’m so in LOVE with.

I hope you have as much fun as I did with this sketch!!  Check out our design team inspiration and enjoy!!  Just head on over to Tuesday Morning Sketches and enter by Sunday evening. Thank you so much for stopping by!

 Hello! 

Happy Tuesday!  So....I forgot to post my card last week so I’ll show you that after I show you this week’s card for Tuesday Morning Sketches #572 This was another one that prompted me to cut something on my Cricut — alway nice giving Jiminy some love!  This is brand new CTMH paper and I knew that I had to find a poinsettia for the shape on this sketch.  I put shimmer brush on all the petals.  I did get lazy and instead of finding a tiny Merry Christmas stamp I sat on my rear and wrote Merry Christmas out a few times and picked the one I liked the best.  :o/

Here’s my card from last week, I think it looks like one of those Skeeball games haha oh you win the reindeer if you get your ball in the right slot! It wasn’t intentional by any means but after I was done I couldn’t get it out of my head. 

I hope your week goes well and that we get to have you create with us at Tuesday Morning Sketches for this fun sketch by Debbie!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #570

 Hello!!  Happy TERRIFIC Tuesday once again!!

Not sure if I pulled this off but I was attempting to make the partial circle look like a birthday cake for this fun Tuesday Morning Sketch  #570 by Debbie.  I used the new Party Time paper packet from the new Close to My Heart core catalog.  The dies are WeRMemory Keepers.  The Happy Birthday is part of one of the “zip strips” from the paper sheets. I also used an older CTMH embossing folder before die cutting the top “layer” of the cake.  

Now it’s your turn!!  Looking forward to seeing what you create this week, thanks for stopping by!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #569

 Hello! Happy last Tuesday of August! 

This weeks sketch #569 for Tuesday Morning Sketches is another great one by Melissa.  I’m kinda tired of only having time to make one card.  My beautiful friend will still like it even though I really wasn’t happy with this and wanted to make another but just haven’t been on top of things enough to do that.  

Right now my studio is in disarray because we’re getting work done in the bathroom next to it so I had to take things off the wall so they wouldn’t fall thanks to the pounding.  

I’m also flying out this morning to visit my son and grandchildren - YAY YAY YAY!!  I haven’t seen them for a year so I’m braving the airport of course fully observing all the precautions.  Sooo, I don’t think your week could possibly be is good as mine lol, but I hope it’s as close as it can get!!  

I’ll still be stopping by to see what you create :) have a WONDERFUL week and thank you for visiting!
