Tuesday Morning Sketches #80

Good Morning!  I hope you're having a great week so far.  It's Tuesday, which is one of my favorite days of week.  I have a new sketch this week and we're being sponsored by Digis with Attitude.  It's a fun sketch that's pretty simple and really open to interpretation.

Now, although I am grateful for the super wonderful digis that Digis with Attitude shared with the team, I chose to let the team demonstrate them while I played with some much neglected stamps.

Card stock:  Neenah Milled Ivory, Close to Cocoa, Very Vanilla
Paper:  old SU! paper

I hope you like the card and that you're inspired to join us!

Just be you...

Good Morning!  I hope you all had a great weekend, I did - it was very relaxing.  I know my sisters a freezing in Colorado and many of my friends are under snowy, cold conditions in their parts of the country but it was near 80 on Saturday here in Florida.

Now I am really love the new stamps from Sweet n Sassy Stamps, especially One of a Kind.  This set has such wonderful sentiments and the birds are fantastic.  This image is so much fun to color.  I did also incorporate The Sweet Stop's sketch this week, too.

God made you special....

** scroll down for my StampFairy post **

...and He loves you very much.  Are those words familiar to you?  My kids were huge Veggie Tales fans and even now that they've out grown the sweet singing/acting vegetables, they will still watch them once in awhile or sing a silly song.  Well, with the great line up of new releases this month, the sentiment (used on my card) from One of a Kind reminded me of Bob's wise words.

God did make you for a special purpose and I truly believe that in the way we treat each other, love our families and worship Him is a glimpse of the person He is molding you to be.  Our real potential will never fully be developed until we are in Heaven with Him, but I think that here on earth we certainly should be practicing.

You can practice by just saying a little prayer for a friend, or helping a child see the awe of Creation or just being kind enough to create a card for someone special.  So go ahead... practice!

I did use a wonderful sketch from ICSketches to create this card.  I do wish I could photograph purple better, but I still haven't mastered lighting yet.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Elegant Eggplant
Paper:  Latte matstack (DCWV)
Copics:  B95, B97, B99, BV02, BV04, E34, E37, YG00, YG03, YR23

StampFairy Friday

Good Morning!  It's Friday which means I have another great image from StampFairy to show you.  I made this card using an awesome sketch from 4 Crafty Chicks - paired with some wonderful paper and the cute new image from StampFairy, this card was a joy to put together.

This is Linda and I know you've already met her as an adorable ballerina, but here she is as a fairy.  Now I did color her wings as arms and I really did do this on purpose.  I wanted her to appear that she is reaching out to give you hug, you'll just have to imagine her pretty little wings are being a bit shy.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Night of Navy
Paper:  Latte matstack (DCWV)
Copics:  B95, B97, B99, E29, E30, E33, E53, R11, Y06, Y15
Tools:  Scallop oval Nesties, oval cutter (CM), circle punch
Embellishments:  white organdy ribbon (Offray), yellow brads (Bazzil), buttons

I hope you like my card.  Don't forget to visit StampFairy to get the sentiment as a freebie.  Enjoy!

I'm ALL EARS

Good Morning!  It's Thursday and I am so happy we are closer to the weekend.  My card today is featuring a cute digi from Deedee's Digis called All Ears.  The set does come with some sweet sentiments although I left my card sentiment free.  I did use a time friendly sketch for this card from Card and Things Challenges.

I liked the sketch because it enabled me to show off the adorable bunnies against some equally adorable paper.  The lines are simple and the colors are so fresh and hinting towards spring.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Barely Banana
Paper:  Glitter Mat Stack (DCWV)
Copics:  B00, BG05, E30, RV02, RV10, YR61
Embellishments:  lavender grosgrain ribbon (Offray)

I do hope you like my card and that you'll head on over to Deedee's Digis for a little shopping.  Have a super day!

Bee Crafty #47 - Hearts

Good Morning!  It's February 1st - well 2nd, but the new challenge is up at Bee Crafty and it's all about the hearts.  So here's my card, I used Wedding Bay Tree.

I did use the sketch from Wee Memories Challenge which is a really easy and fun sketch.  I had a hard time coloring the tree and avoiding the flowers so I ended up adding little flower brads to the tree and I really like the added dimension the brads gave.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Sahara Sand
Paper:  Garden Party mat stack (DCWV)
Copics:  B05, E37, E57, RV000, RV02, V04, V06, YG63, YG67, YR16, YR23
Tools:  Apron Lace border punch (Fiskars), oval cutter (CM)
Embellishments:  flower brads (Making Memories), satin ribbon (Offray)

I hope you like my card and that you'll join us over Bee Crafty.  You have all month to join in the fun.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #79

Good Morning!  Happy Tuesday!  I am really excited about this week's sketch because I didn't draw it!  LOL  My sweet 12 year old daughter did.  She'd been wanting to try her hand at creating a sketch and so she did it.  Be sure to head over to Tuesday Morning Sketches to check it out and join in the fun.  Inktegrity is sponsoring this week and offering a wonderful prize.

Isn't this a fun layout?!  I think Hollyanne did a great job!  The sketch was fun to play with and with a great image such as this, Easter Bunny Gift, it was so easy to put together.

Supplies:
Card Stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Chocolate Chip (SU!)
Paper:  Garden Party mat stack (DCWV)
Copics:
Tools:  Word Window punch
Embellishments:  antique brads (Making Memories), flower (Marcella by K)

I hope to see you over at Tuesday Morning Sketches this week.  Have a great Tuesday!
