Oh boy I know I’m running really late this week. Truth is I just forgot. I had lots going on and the good part is that most of it was really fun.
Our Tuesday Morning Sketch #631 is by Debbie and one that would be fun to create a lot of but it really made me wish I had a die in that banner shape.
This was made will CTMH current products.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a NICE week!
Hi!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Here is what I made for our Tuesday Morning Sketches #630 by Andrea. At first I felt too lazy to do a shaker card even though it was perfect for that. One thing led to another when I went shuffling through papers to decide what to do. I cut the little scene out of CTMH Holy & Ivy paper and knew that my Diamond Dust that I’ve had for years would be perfect to make it a snowy scene.
I still have over half of a 14 oz jar left if you want to come on over and make cards with me!!! Wouldn’t that be nice??!!
Also, as mentioned last week, here is the card that I made using the pink and yellow giraffe. Sooooo what will you do with this great sketch this week? :o)
Happy Tuesday, I’m sure glad you’re here!
Isn’t it just so amazing how quick each week flies by? This Tuesday Morning Sketches #629 by Andrea was sure was a fun and easy sketch. I guess I’m on a roll making baby cards :o) one reason for that is because I recently realized I was out of them and the other reason is because I love making them so much.
It was high time for me to use some Stickles - I can’t remember how long I’ve had this color but it has been at least a few years. It was fun and I added the dots right before I was leaving to work so I knew they would have plenty of time to dry without me messing it up as I have in the past. I have also had this cute ribbon in my stash for years — what is wrong with me that I still buy more when I have so much already??
My tip this week is that if you color with markers i.e. alcohol etc that cover or fade your ink it’s nice to have a Misty or other stamping tool so that you can stamp it again after you color it. I didn’t originally stamp it with the tool but I cut others out with it and then I could easily put the one I already colored back into the spot and re-stamp it.
I really think I need to start having friends over for card making days so I can use up my stash. I’m really hoping that you can visit and leave some love for our team and of course play along with us this week - if you do I’ll be visiting your creation soon :o)
Enjoy your week!
Hello - yep it’s Tuesday again already!!
So glad you are here! And I really mean that even though I felt like I lost my battle with creative block this week. Here is my creation for Tuesday Morning Sketch #628. I started out with a piece of Tim Holtz watercolor distress paper and I watercolored the hills and sky - blotting out a few clouds with a tissue. Then it was all warped so I sandwiched it between a few books and stood on it while eating Birthday Confetti Hershey Kisses and trying to figure out what to do next.
My first thought was a hot air ballon but didn’t feel like searching for one in all my stamps. My second thought was a cute critter holding balloons but I was still uninspired. I went though a bin of old stuff trying to trigger an idea and this is what I found and what happened.
I came across my Baby Boy stack of paper from DCWV, fussy cut the tree and alligator, die cut the oval BOY and layered them all on the card with different thicknesses of dimensional foam tape. I wish that I cut it all out a little better but my heart wasn’t really in it. I was going to call it done so I took a pic and realized that I left out the little elements so I drew in some birds with a marker and added CTMH Prisma glitter with a glue pen and drew in some grass with a Stabilo Carbothello pastel pencil. Kinda thinking that all that was a little too much but here is the before and after - let me know what you think!
Looking back it was enjoyable but I really need to clean my pigsty studio and then I hope to feel a little more creative again.
I can’t wait to see what you make with this!!! Head on over to see what our team created at Tuesday Morning Sketches and have a great week!
Hello - happy Tuesday!
Here is what I made for our Tuesday Morning Sketch #625. Once again I was pushed a little out of my comfort zone and I’m so grateful that I was because this was so much fun. I had some circles punched from some watercolor playing around that I did a while ago and really wanted to turn them into something and I didn’t have high expectations because the colors were so different but all in all I’m happy with how it turned out after adding dots and sequins.
I hope you enjoy checking out what our fabulous team has created and So click this Tuesday Morning Sketches or the link above to head on over to see what our fab team made and leave some love. I’m anxious to see what you make!!!
Happy everything!!!
