Warmest wishes - TMS #539

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This past Christmas, I gave/sent over 120 handmade cards.  Not sure if I'll be able to do that again this year, but I'm trying to work on my stash early.  



This was fun and very easy to make.  The mittens are stickers that I've had forever!  I think I got these the first year I started making scrapbooks... in 2005!!!  I had to add some glue to them because the adhesive was so old. :D  
I had a bit of trouble finding paper that matched them, but this page from Crate Paper Peppermint worked.  The sentiment is from SSS Build A Snowman and cut out with Die-versions Stitched Circles.  

Here's our sketch... this is Lisa's favorite from last year... (sketch #507)

Buffalo Plaid Christmas

Most of my cards are for my design teams, but sometimes I just play around and make a card for fun.  Such as this white Buffalo check card...


This is pretty basic, too, other than my BG.  I found some stencils at Tuesday Morning that were intended for cookies, but they are in my craft room and will probably never ever make it to the kitchen!!  :D
I used the Buffalo plaid (AKA gingham) stencil and used my blending brush and added black ink to white cardstock.   I used 2 different sized snowflake punches and embossed them with CB Swiss Dots.  My sentiment is Pink & Main's Merry Christmas stamp and die set.

Challenges...
Christmas 24 #002 - anything goes
Christmas Crafts All Year Round Jan - anything Christmas or Holiday goes
Merry Little Christmas #18 - January anything Christmas goes
ABC Christmas A or B - A is for anything goes or B for bingo (I did A)
Little Red Wagon #532 - Christmas
Scrapy Land #130 - anything goes w/ brand SL sells (Pink & Main)
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - use a stencil
Happy Little Stampers - January anything goes w/ dies


Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

You're sew sweet - TMS #537

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  



My image and sentiment are clear stamps from Neat & Tangled "Crafting is My Jam." My DP is Recollections Regent Street.  I used Spellbinders Classic Squares and A2 Matting Basics.  The "tape measure" is an adhesive tape that I've had forever.  I added tiny buttons from Buttons Galore & More for the dot element. 



This week's sketch is my favorite from last year...  (This was #501.)

Beautiful you - TMS #536

Happy New Year and Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!

As usual, we are revisiting the teams' favorite sketches from the previous year, so the design of this card may look familiar if you're a regular player... 



My image/sentiment are from Neat & Tangled "Bloom" and colored with Spectrum Noir markers.  My DP is Bo Bunny "Early Bird."  I used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics and Standard Circles.  The greenery is a MS branch punch.


Our sketch is Andrea's favorite (sketch #508)...

Gingerbread Christmas - SCC #108

A whole new world year!!! :)  It's time for Sparkles Christmas Challenge #108 with the theme of "for a child."  I got to choose the theme for this month. :)

Most cards I make are made with adults or an entire family in mind, so it was fun to create just for a child...


And this will be fun for a child... I used an Action Wobble behind the image...



 My image is a pre-colored digi from Imagine That Digistamp "Gingerbread Scene."  My paper is K&Compnay Mod Holiday. I used Double Stitched Rectangles and Stitched Banners from Cheapo Dies.  I also used a MFT Ric Rac die.


So I know Christmas was just a week ago, but it's now 2020!  It's never too early to start getting ready for this year.  ;)
Please come and play along this month! (Just click on the underlined words.) Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!
