This week  we are on Sketch #490 and this is the favorite that Lori picked out! I haven't made too many valentines this year - so I used this sketch as an opportunity to make one! I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out! The sketch is below:

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 :-) 

Here is the sketch:

Hello Hello - 

Quick post today......er tonight. 

Our Challenge Your Stash Challenge for January 2019 on SplitcoastStampers comes from StampinSpooky (Sue). Sue challenged us to create a thank you card using an embossing folder. This is what I came up with. The Butterflies are from a Tim Holtz Botanicals Epherma package I got awhile ago. The sentiment is from a retired PTI Set - Beautiful Butterflies. The embossing folder is from Stampin Up.

TMS #488 - Jenee's Pick!

Hello Hello ~

Welcome to this week's Tuesday Morning Sketch! Our pick this week comes from Jenee! 

For my card today I used a leftover sunflower image (Stampendous SunFlower Ladybug) from a Dueling Divas kit from last year and die-cut it with my Scan-N-Cut 2. The patterned paper is from Snap Stories. I colored the image with Stampin Blend Markers, and layered it on the large spellbinders oval. I added some yellow seam binding ribbon, flowers and leaves from my stash to the top of the card. 

Here is this week's sketch!
