Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #681

 

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card
to share with you each week for
Tuesday Morning Sketches 
Here is the sketch for this week:
 
 
This was the first card I made using an owl stamp from IO.
 
Stamping with white ink is not one of my better skills.
I wasn't super happy with the owl on this first card.
I pulled out a different ink pad and, wow, what a difference.

 
 
I hope you'll have time to play along at
this week. 
The Design Team would love it if you'd visit our blogs.

 I cut when making the sketch card, did you?

Send a Smile 4 Kids October Challenge #230

 

The theme for the October Challenge at

Follow SAS4Kids on Facebook!
is 
Holiday/Celebration Cards 4 Kids.
 
Anything Goes for kids is always acceptable, too.

Sometimes things that we take for granted and consider simple are cause for a celebration when you are in the hospital.
When my grandson was was hospitalized a few years ago, he had to learn how to swallow pills in order to be discharged.   When that first pill went down, we were all Jumpin' for Joy!
 

 

 It would be great if you joined the fun at the
October 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!

Pumpkin Fall Topiary

 Today I am using a digital stamp that I've had a very long time.  It is called Pumpkin Fall Topiary and is in my Scribbles by Sandy folder, which is now Scribbles Designs.

How is this for a Halloween birthday? 

The image was colored with markers and then fussy cut.  The 'Happy Birthday' die was a magazine freebie.  For the remaining die cuts I used a set of Spellbinders Card Creator Dies.  And to finish it off, 3 little gems and 3 wood hearts were added.

 

 

Challenges:

Scribbles Design Challenge #121 - AG

Double Trouble Challenge #121 - Punch it out (The card layers and sentiment are die cuts; The 3 tiny hearts are made of wood; also entering UYS challenge.)


Use Your Stuff Challenge # 467 - Wood (3 hearts)

The party is over!

The Anniversary/Birthday fun at Scribbles Designs is over.  I really enjoyed doing their  jigsaw puzzles online.   Even though the festivities have ended, the challenges have not.  The current challenge theme is Anything Goes. 

I've combined two of the Scribbles Designs digi stamps, egg truck and acorn, to make this fun fall card.


Then I used a cute Whimsy Stamps squirrel, balancing 3 acorns on his head and juggling 3 wood acorns at the same time.  I used an oval punch for the sentiment, a CTMH stamp.  


This card is being submitted to the following challenges:

Scribbles Designs Challenge #112 - AG

Double Trouble Challenge #121 - Punch it out (The sentiment was punched; The 3 acorns the squirrel is juggling are made of wood; also entering UYS challenge.)
