Spring

Good Morning TMS friends!  Happy Tuesday and we're so glad you're joining us for another fun sketch!  This one is brought to you by Jessi - we're sending her lots of happy, healing thoughts, she's a bit under the weather and will not be joining us this week.

The sponsor this week is Melissa!  She will send one lucky winner a really fun pouch full of goodies from Freckled Fawn.  It's one of their embellishments kits and it's so cute!

Here's the sketch....

Please join us this week. I know you will find this wonderful sketch super easy to work with. Have a look at the TMS Blog and see what the other members of the team have done.

Have a grand week, and happy crafting everyone!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #344

Hello! A funny thing happened on the way to posting this blog -- my keyboard quit working. After spending a frustrating night and day with no key board, and my sweet Hubs buying me a new one, we discovered that my old key board had NOT quit working. The culprit was a setting which had somehow gotten turned off. Anyway, I am finally here!

We have a great sketch by Debbie to play with this week. It is another sketch that I know everyone is going to go to often. Here it is:

Our sponsor this week is another new one for us, and we are so pleased to have Di's Digis. Di's store is full of adorable images, and she is going to give some lucky person a shopping voucher for $12 -- oh my, be still my heart. Wish I was eligible to play!

I have used an image called Izzy and dog. However, I left off the dog and only colored Izzy. I thought she looked so cute with her spring tulips. I combined her with some wonderful spring butterflies and wah la, a charming you are special card that I can use for a number of different occasions (birthday, graduation, thinking of you, congratulations, etc.) by gearing the inside message to whichever event for which I need a card. 

Since I am a full day late with this posting (due to the key board fiasco), I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Stop by the Tuesday Morning Blog and have a look at what the design team has created. We have several new very talented team members, so make sure you visit their individual blogs and welcome them to the group. See you all next Tuesday (hopefully on time). Have a great week!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #343

Good Morning TMS friends!  Thank you so much for joining me this morning.  We have a great sketch for you this week - I think it's a lot of fun.  We also have two new DT members joining us.  Please welcome Patti and Wanda.  We are thrilled to have them in our line up and I think you will be, too.  Just wait til you see what everyone has created to share with you.

 

Here is this week's sketch:  

We have a new sponsor this week, too.  I am so excited that Tara of Craftin' Desert Divas agreed to sponsor us!  She has an absolutely wonderful shop.  I love the images available in her store and tons of dies, too.  Wonderful place to just spend hours looking around.  When you do, be sure to have plenty of napkins on hand because you'll be drooling over all the goodies, starting with their $1.99 sequin mixes!

The prize is two adorable digis from her store of the winner's choice.

 

Please join us over at the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog this week. We love seeing how our sketches are used.

Digital Delights

Good morning dear friends. It is time for another wonderful sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches. This week's sketch is from our very own Jessi, and I know it is going to be one of those "go to" sketches for many of us. Here it is:

Don't you just LUV it? 

Our sponsor this week is Digital Delights by Louby Loo.  The prize is a $5 voucher for Wendy's adorable images!  I know you are going to have a super hard time making a choice!

My card features Flower Power Basket of Daisies.

I have colored my image with Copic markers after printed it onto Xpress It brand card. The card base is the yellow color found in the patterned paper. I have matted my DP with blue card stock. I've also matted my image with the blue. The sentiment is a rubber stamp from my stash.

Remember we are looking for a few more DT members (preferably two more), so if you are interested, please go to the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog and have a look at the requirements. We really would love to have you on our team. Even if you don't feel you can devote the time to the design team, we would like to see what you do with our sketch this week. We've been having so many lovely entries of late, and it has been so very exciting to see the sketches being used in so many creative ways. 

Happy crafting!

Tea Cup Kitty

Happy Tuesday, y'all! It is time for another wonderful sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches. Our fantastic sponsor this week is Sami Stamps. I am especially partial to Sami Stamps, having served for over a year on Sami's design team. Here is this week's wonderful sketch:

I have used the image, Kitty Cup 2

I combined coloring with Copic markers and paper piecing on this adorable image. I wanted the cup to have a floral tea set look, so I pieced it. I printed the base image and colored the kitty head. Then I printed the image onto the floral paper and cut out the cup, adhering that to the base image. I then printed the image again and colored the kitten paw and tail so they could be cut and placed over the rim of the cup. The two gems are from Studio 6.

The card base is a piece of cream card. The blue card has been dry embossed with a Cricut embossing folder. The band across the card is a piece of green (matches the leaves in the tea cup floral) with the cream on top. The flowers are a combination of Wild Orchid Crafts (small) and Recollections (blue rose).

Remember, we are still looking for two new DT members. If you are interested, you will need to use all four sketches from this month. If you have missed a week, you can still "catch up" by posting the missed sketch on your blog (see the Tuesday Morning Blog for full details).

Purple Flowers

This week our sketch is full of flowers and/or fun things. I've pretty much followed the sketch as it is, but you will want to stop by the Tuesday Morning Blog and see the different ways the DT members have used this sketch. 

First off, let's take a look at the sketch:

Rather pretty, isn't it?

And for using the sketch what might you win? A plethora of wonderful things; three brand new Spellbinders embossing folders and three brand new clear stamp sets (two Brenda Walton sets and a Clear Stamps set). Here is the picture:

I used an A4 size white card base with purple chevron paper for the background. I computer generated the sentiment and cut it into a rectangle shape which I matted with green paper. I then used lovely lavender roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. (I may end up cutting the stems off the roses, but for now I've left them. I did not glue them down, so they can be easily removed. However, they are not causing problem or hazards to the card, so may just leave them.) 

Anyway, have fun with this sketch and join the Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge for your chance to win some fab prizes.

 

Tilda in Purple

This week, we have another fantastic prize sponsored by another of our wonderful team members. Kris has put together a grab bag of stamps (20+)  plus a package of heart doilies and some heart lace ribbon. Here is a picture:

Now all you have to do to be in the running to win those fab prizes is use this week's sketch, make your own creation and enter it on the Tuesday Morning Blog! Here is the super sketch that you will need to use:

Easy-peasy, right? This is a super sketch and so easy and fun to create with. I used bits and pieces of scraps from other card projects to make my base for my sweet Magnolia image. The card went together super quickly but looks as if I spent a lot of time and effort. You should see what the other team members have done. Each and every card looks different and quite lovely. This is definitely a "go-to" sketch for a magnificent one of a kind creation.

Have a good week. Hope to see your creation among the entries at Tuesday Morning Sketches!
