Tuesday Morning Sketches #587

 

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 

The holidays are over.

It's time to get back to business.

To start the year off, everyone on the TMS Design Team was asked to submit their favorite sketch from last year.

This was Andrea's favorite and 

the first sketch for 2021.

 

 

 I'm working on winter birthday cards.

The heart dies, papers and sentiment stamp are from CTMH.

The bird stamp is from Sweet & Sassy stamps. 

I paper pieced the scarf and feet, colored everything else, 

and fussy cut the bird.

 

 

I hope you'll have time to play along at

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

this week. 

The Design Team would love it if you'd visit our blogs.

Send A Smile 4 Kids January 2021 Challenge

 The theme for the January Challenge at 

Send a Smile 4 Kids 

is Valentine/Love Cards 4 Kids

or Anything Goes 4 Kids.

 

Last year I came across a package of puffy Valentine robot stickers on clearance that I just couldn't resist, thinking they would make fun cards for boys. 

Stamp is from CTMH and dies from Sizzix.
 

 It would be great if you joined the fun at the

Send A Smile 4 Kids 

January Challenge.

(Cards only, please. And they need not be donated.)

 

 

 

Please take some time and visit the fabulous blogs of my teammates.  They work so hard and are very creative!

MFT Sketch Challenge

 There are approximately 1 million things I should be doing with my time today.   Making and posting a birthday card are not two of them.  And yet, that is precisely what I am doing.

My husband says I am practicing avoidance.

It pains me to admit that he is probably correct.

 

Be that as it may.... here is the card I made for this week's

 My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge.

 

Papers are from CTMH.  The stamp is from MFT.  It actually says 'a little Birthday Wish for a Great Friend', but I blocked the lower half of the stamp. 

 and here is the sketch.  

 

Back to my million things. 

Thanks for dropping by.

Happy New Year's Eve.

Sympathy Card

We had some sad news on Christmas Eve. 

Making Sympathy cards isn't one of my favorite projects.

But you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

I've used CTMH papers and SU sentiment, embossing folder and die.
 

I am sharing this card at the following challenges: Allsorts Challenge wk 6034 - Sparkle n Shine (I've used adhesive glitter film from Stamp On It to add the glitter and shine to the frame.); The House That Stamps Built Challenge D2320 - AG; Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Sparkle n Shine;

Quiet Christmas

 Having a relatively quiet Christmas this year,  allowed me ample time to get a birthday card made. 

 

I used stamps, dies and the color scheme for

 My Favorite Things Color Challenge #156.

  

 

Additional Challenges:

Cute Card Thursday Challenge #666 - AG  

and

Krafty Chicks Challenge #539 - Any Occasion; 

Reason for the Season

 

 

 

 

 

 

Merry Christmas!!!

Here is a very quick and simple card I made for this week's Wednesday Sketch Challenge at My Favorite Things.
