Tuesday Morning Sketches #763

 Hello friends!  Thank you for stopping by.  It's a special month at Tuesday Morning Sketches - we're 15 years old.  I cannot believe I started this blog 15 years ago - time has just flown by.  We're going to celebrate this whole month by revisiting sketches from 2014.  I know, I should have picked 2015 - but I did this for a reason.  

My card features the June Tonic Craft Kit.  There's just something about citrus that makes me really happy.  Now why did I pick 2014?  It's because we still had the very talented Jessi Fogan with us.  I miss her dearly.  If you've followed TMS for a long time you'll remember her creativity and... ahem... sense of humor.  Still she was so kind and loved her family so much, raising an autistic son.  So we're starting off this celebration by remembering Jessi.

This picture isn't the greatest, but I had to take it outside early in the morning - which has been the only time we've had sunshine.  Every day by mid-morning it's cloudy and by late afternoon the thunderstorms start. 

I stamped the different citrus stamps that came in the kit on the base panel, matting to a piece of orange glitter card.  Then I made the flags using scraps of paper, including the same orange glitter card.  Then I made the orange using a larger circle die and then layering the dies that came in the kit to create a cut open orange.  I added the leaves because I think it looks pretty.

I do hope you'll join us for the challenge and because it's our birthday - there's presents all month long!
