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!

TMS #540 - Love You So Much

Hello Hello!

Time for another sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches! 

This week is my favorite sketch from last year, which was TMS #517 Back on 08/20/2019! I really love banners so I picked this one.  I used patterned paper from My Minds Eye & a stamp/die set from Hero Arts. The silver hears are from Tim Holtz.

Here is the sketch if you would like play with us!

TMS #539 - Love Note

Hello Hello!

It's Tuesday Morning Sketch day and we are here with Lisa Lynn's favorite sketch of 2019. This one was a bit challenging for me the first time around so I kept  it really simple this time!  I used the trip heart punch (Stampin Up - retired) and a sentiment from the Stampin Up Set Sealed With Love (also retired). The patterned paper is all from Pink Paislee (Pen Pals 6X6 pad).


Here is the sketch.  I hope you will find time to play along with us this week! Up for grabs is an assortment of ribbon!

TMS #538 - Kitty's Favorite

Hello Hello!

This week on Tuesday Morning Sketches we are visiting Kitty's favorite . Kitty is a newer Design Team member so please check her out! I love the inspiration she is providing with our sketches this week!

For my card I decided to pull out an older MFT Pure Innocence Set. I think It was one of the first ones released (yes - THAT OLD!). I used some patterned paper from my stash, and the sentiment is from the Retired Stampin Up Set Sealed with Love. The PI girl is colored with Prismacolor Pencils with gamsol

Here is the sketch:

January Duel - Winter Fun

Hello Hello

It's the 15th of the month so it's time for another duel between the Divas and Dazzlers. This month Terry S and I are hostesses. We decided on a theme of penguins, because well It's January and they are so darn cute!

I sent the Divas a kit containing patterned paper from Doodlebug Designs, some enamel dots & snowflakes from DoodleBug Designs & some assorted ribbon and other embellishments. The image I sent is one of my favorite company called Elzybells, which is sadly no longer around. I added a sentiment from the retired SU Set Snow Place on a MFT banner die-namic.

I can't wait to see what everyone else created with this kit! Thanks for stopping by!

TMS #537 - Thanks

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:

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hugs ~ LJ
