TMS #541 - Happy Valentines Day

Hello Hello!

It's time for another Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge! This week it's Melissa's favorite and it's one of mine too! I love the doily off to the side. So much fun.

My card (this is the last valentine's card from me I promise!) features the Sealed With Love set from Stampin Up. I've used this set a lot this year for Valentines. I really love the font of the sentiments and didn't use it much when I got it. (So I guess I am making up for lost time - ha!). All of the patterned papers are from my "stash" which is slowly dwindling down.

Here is the sketch (designed by Debbie) if you would like to play along!

Hello Hello

We have another Tuesday Morning Sketches favorite for you today. This week is Debbie's favorite sketch which was originally shared on 4/24/19 as sketch #501. I love all the different thin strips on this sketch (it's a favorite of mine too!)

My card features patterned paper from Authentique and stamps & dies from Lawn Fawn. I had some leftover scraps from a nautical-themed album I finished recently so I used some of those on my card.

Here is the sketch if you would like to try it out:

TMS #524 Trick or Treat

Hello Hello! 

Welcome to this week's Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge! After a bit of a break due to work travel (and some fun travel) I'm back. For my fun travel I attended a weekend Graphic 45 retreat and had so much fun. I learned a lot too.  I will be sharing some of the projects in the upcoming weeks! 

Anyway this week's sketch was created by Melissa, while it looks a little challenging with the strips, it really isn't that bad! I chose to make a Halloween card (with no stamping!) the patterned paper is from Authentique. The pumpkin is from K&Co and the metal words are from EK Success. I sponged the silver cardstock with some black ink as well. 

Here are the measurements provided by one of our DT members, Debbie: 

I used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics, so the mat is 5-3/8" x 4-1/8"

and the patterned paper is 3-7/8" high.It will work with 7 strips going down 1/8" each time from 1" down to 1/4".)

Here is the actual sketch: 

Hope you will decide to join us this week! Can't wait to see what other's do with this sketch!

TMS #519

Hello Hello!

Welcome to this week's Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge! Debbie has this week's sketch! I always love sketches that have a big spot in the middle as it provides a lot of different possibilities, a colored image, a sentiment, die-cuts or other things. I chose to use a sentiment from the SU Set Rooted in Nature. The leaves are from the Rooted in Nature Dies and the flower is a retired SU Punch. I used patterned paper from Basic Grey. 

Here is this week's sketch if you would like to join us!

TMS #513 - Thinking of You

Hello Hello! 

Today we have another fun Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge to play with!  Debbie is the creator of this week's sketch. 

I decided to pull out my new "Rooted in Nature" set from Stampin Up that I got with my hostess benefits.  I used patterned paper from Basic Grey (Origins 6X6) pad, and two ink colors - Vintage Photo and Mowed Lawn (Tim Holtz Distress Inks). I fussy cut the leaves as I am still waiting for my coordinating dies to come (hopefully soon!). I also sponged the sentiment panel with the Mowed Lawn Ink, and added some twine and yellow enamel dots in the upper right hand corner. 

Here is the sketch if you would like to try it out:

Hello Hello!

Welcome to Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge#504! This week Melissa has a really fun and unique sketch to play with! I have not really seen a sketch like this before so it was a good challenge for me!

Most of the supplies on my card are retired from Stampin Up. The patterned paper is form last year's occasions catalog. The twine was a door prize I won at Camp Stamp In Oga. The enamel dots are from Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby brand - I love these!) The stitched square frame is from My Favorite Things and the Wavy Stitched border is a Lawn Fawn Die.

TMS #502 - Out of This World

HELLO HELLO

It's tuesday so we have another fun Tuesday Morning Sketch to play with this week. We are on Sketch #503. I have a monthly swap due on the 10th - and our theme is May the 4th. So I pulled out my Out of This World set from Lawn Fawn for it. I made 6 of these. I think they turned out super cute. 

I also used patterned paper from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby) Star gems from Tim Holtz, and Silver Ribbon from Stampin Up. I colored the four images with my Stampin Up Blend Markers, cut them with my Scan-N-Cut 2, then popped them up on dimensionals. I do have the coordinating dies, but when making multiples of the same card the SNC2 is totally the way to go!

TMS #491 - Melissa's Favorite

Hello Hello! 

Time for another Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge! This week Melissa is sharing her favorite - Sketch #441. I chose to use the mini Crazy-Birds from Tim Holtz this time around. The patterned paper is from my scrap stash. The buttons are also from my stash. I organize my buttons by color so I never really know where they came from (there are exceptions - I have a few plastic jars of PTI buttons) 

Here is the sketch. I hope you will find a little time to play with us this week. The sketch is a pretty easy one!

TMS #488 - My Pick!

Hello Hello! 

It's time for another Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge and I hope you are ready to play along! This week is my favorite sketch from last year! I chose a more recent sketch that gives the opportunity to use a few different patterned papers! It's Sketch #480. 

I used stamps from Gina K Designs on my card above, and the patterned paper is from my 6X6 Stash which is leftover 6X6 papers from paper pads, and also leftovers that I cut down to 6X6 that used to be 12X12. I reach for this usually first before my other papers so that it gets used up :-)
