Tuesday Morning Sketches #115

Hello everyone!  I have another pink card to share with you.  This week is the Judged Challenge over at TMS so there's a sketch, an inspiration photo and we're continuing with adding pink.  So here's my card...

One of the easiest things to do when you're just about ready to step out of the shower or as your toweling off, you can do a quick check of your breasts.  You want to run your fingers over your breasts probing gently feel for hard, pea-sized or larger lumps.  Do this one to two times per months - early detection is your first line of defense.

Supplies:
Card stock: Neenah Classic Crest, Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette

Paper: Chocolat (SEI)
Copics: BG01, E00, E02, E04, E30, E33, E34, E37, RV000, RV02, RV10
Tools: Scallop Border punch (Fiskars), 1 5/8" & 1 1/4" circle punches
Embellishments: mulberry flower (unk), rhinestone (unk), white satin ribbon (Offray)

I hope to see your continued participation over at TMS.  Thank you for stopping by.

Monday, Monday... so good to me

Good Morning!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend.  I did.  It was pretty much quiet and very low key.  It rained all weekend long so I stayed very low.

I am not certain if I am going about this application process the right way for My Time Made Easy, but I am definitely giving it a go.  Lauren and her team are doing a call for the sketch team and you all know how much I love sketches.  The call requires you to participate with each challenge for the month of October.  So here's my first card using Sketch #29.

This card features the adorable snowmen from The Greeting Farm set Warm Wishes.  It also features some really cute digi paper from My Time Made Easy.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Black (Recollections), Bashful Blue

Embellishments:  turquoise ribbon (Offray)

This second card is for Sketch #30 and for the fun of it, I added MTME's Pretty Palette challenge.  The colors are Artichoke, Celery, Melon and Daffodil.  I did as close to those colors as I could.  I think my card is really pretty.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Always Artichoke, Regal Rose, So Saffron
Paper:  Sugared (Basic Grey)
Stamps/Ink:  Your Friendship (SNSS), Dandelion (Memento), Always Artichoke (SU!)

I had so much fun playing along with the sketches and the color challenges.  Now to figure out how to apply!  Wish me luck.

Have a super Monday.  Oh, and if you were here to see a challenge card for Paper Pretties, there isn't one this week because today is a new release.  You've probably seen the sneak peeks, but if not... click HERE.

Good Morning!  Before I get to today's regulary scheduled post, I'd like to do a quick birthday shout out to my sister....

It's a new month, which means there is a new release over at Digital Delights by Louby Loo.  Wendy is rolling out some really adorable Christmas images.  I am showcasing Swinging Edwina....

Isn't she just the sweetest little elf!?  I think she's adorable with her rosy little cheeks and festive swing.  This week's challenge at Delightful Challenges is to add DIMENSION...

As you can see, I kept my dimension at a minimum - but of course, the heights you take are completely up to you.  I created this card using a great sketch from I {heart} 2 Stamp.  And pulled out some really old paper, as you can see.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #114

Good Morning!  I hope your week is off to a great start.

It's the beginning of October which is Breast Cancer Awareness month - but the month means more to me than just awareness.  My sister, Theresa, celebrates her birthday on the 6th and we celebrate her 4th year of being cancer free.  So this month at TMS is dedicated to my sister and Breast Cancer Awareness.  Please, ladies, take care of your boobies!

You must use the sketch, add some pink and you can only combine TMS' challenge with a maximum of two other challenges.  Participate each week following those rules and you'll be entered for a blog candy drawing.

Remember, the first step to beating this disease is... A W A R E N E S S

Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Pink Pirouette (SU!)
Stamps/Ink:  Laying Nora Swiss Pixies (CC Designs), Tuxedo Black (Memento)

Hi everyone!  Happy Sunday evening to you.  I have another card to share with you because I just had to play along with a couple of challenges.  Have you seen the adorable sketch over at JUGS?  And then I added a great color combo from My Time Made Easy pretty pallette challenge.

This is a gift card holder and actually the entire focal part of the card is on a belly band.

Isn't this cute?  I really love this color combo (White, Aqua, Olive Green and Red).  I thought it was a pretty strange combination but it really looks quite stunning.  And the sketch was just too much fun, I couldn't pass it up.

Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Aqua (Recollections), Old Olive (SU!)
Paper:  Cafe Mediterranean (DCWV)
Copics:  BG01, BG05
