Tuesday Morning Sketches #607

 Hello TMS friends,

Thank you so much for stopping by.  The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and honestly, I drew this one and it was a challenge for me.  I also think my creativity is super limited right now.  My attention is elsewhere.  More on that in a minute.

My card features different dies from Spellbinders - all from different monthly kits.  I did want to showcase that you can use dies to create a fun background.  I think I accomplished that.  I just wish my "rectangle" elements were a bit bigger.


I mean, it's kinda fun, right?  I do love the leaves!  They sentiment is fun, too.  Great notecard.

Please head on over to the TMS blog and check out what the team made.  I promise, it's more inspiring.

Okay - the house.  The sellers agreed to fix the part of the roof that was cracking.  This enabled me to get insurance.  I don't doubt for  a minute that I won't be replacing the main house roof in a few years.  I am mentally prepared for that.  So I am forging ahead and will be closing on the house on June 1st.  I have to have something.  The lease on my current house is up soon and I can no longer afford the rent.  It's time I have my forever home.  I don't care if I do have to eventually replace the roof and upgrade the windows.  It'll be my house and no one will be able to tell me that I can't live there anymore.

We'll see you over at the TMS blog!  Come join us!

I love your die-cut background idea Melissa!! What a wonderful turn of events for the sellers to get the issue taken care of!! I thought it sounded like the roof and wiring issues were not so easy to overcome but YAY it must be meant to be and soooo happy for you to have a forever home!!!

Great take on the sketch!
Owning a home brings many challenges, but it's so nice to be able to update and add value to your own home!!

Your card is wonderful! I like the die cut shapes for the panels and pretty floral detail. So glad the owners agreed to fix the roof! Best wishes with closing and moving.
