TMS #497 - Blessed Easter

Hello Hello - 

It's time for another Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge!  I am so in love with Debbie's sketch this week. Butterflies make me think of spring! 

My card features Mini Detailed Butterflies from Tim Holtz & a sentiment from the Easter Blessings stamp set from Taylored Expressions . These butterflies are amazingly so intricate in pretty. I was so excited to find them at Hobby Lobby about a month ago! 

Here is the sketch if you would like to play along!

TMS 496 - Puppy Love

Hello Hello ~

Welcome to another Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge! Our prize this week is a very special one - a chance to be a Guest DT Member for a future TMS Sketch Challenge!

For my card today I used a Tim Holtz Crazy Dog image that i had colored previously for "The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge. I participate on that via my Instagram Account which you can find HERE
I post my crafty creations there more frequently actually just because of the convenience! I used some patterned paper from my stash.

Here is the inside of my card. The sentiment, bone, and paw print images are from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps.

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

Monthly Duel - Turnip When I Need You!

Hello Hello 

Welcome to the monthly duel! Heather is our hostess this month and we have a food-themed kit to play with.  The entire theme just cracks me up! The image is from Stew Pot Pals (Stampin Up) When I first saw the image, I thought - "My gosh - I've never colored a Turnip before!" So this was a fun kit! I colored the image with my Stampin Blend Markers & then layered the white panel onto a TIm Holtz Die Tag. The patterned paper is from Kiss the Cook Collection from Bo Bunny Designs (so cute). 

We are posting our creations a little late this month, apparently the Canadian postal service is not fond of Heather sending turnips through the mail.  I really can't wait to see what "Turnips" on the rest of the blogs when they are posted! Hee-Hee! (Heather - your writing skills are so much superior to mine LOL).

TMS #495 - Happy Trails

Hello Hello

Or should I say "Howdy" this time for our Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge? I had quite a bit of fun playing with the western-themed papers from the Cosmo Cricket Wanted 6X6 Pad. and since I still had some of the chipboard from the same collection left, I used some of that too. The sentiment is from a retired set from My Favorite Things. I totally have a thing for western/cowboy themed stamps....And it's not like I grew up in the southwest - I've spent my entire life in south central Wisconsin!

Anyway - here is the fantastic prize being offered this week, It's a beautiful chandelier die from Spellbinders, this would make some gorgeous wedding cards I could also see it being dolled up in red and green bling for Christmas!

Below is the sketch if you would like to play along, and as always - the rest the TMS Design Team inspiration can be found by clicking on the their names over here ----->
