Butterfly Birthday

Good morning!  It's Tuesday, so that means we have a new sketch for you over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  For this challenge, our sponsor is DRS Designs and they let me choose this lovely birthday sentiment..."thank you" to DRS Designs!

This card is all about the butterflies...sentiment (love it, plus it's a great font), paper, and embellishments.  I've done some distressing and put my Spellbinder's dies to good use.  The butterflies are Martha Stewart punches and I've coated them with a subtle glitter and added some Swarovski flatbacks for a little something extra.

Paper: PTI Stamper's Select, Aqua Mist, and Dark Chocolate, Prima DP

Embellies: Martha Stewart Crystal Fine Glitter, Swarovski Flatback Crystals in "Smokey Topaz"

Are you "cured" yet?

Good morning; long time...no post!  Life has really gotten in the way of my crafty time lately, so it was fun to sit down and make a card...even though it took all day!  LOL  I have a new sketch from Melissa at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Our sponsor for the week is DRS Designs and they let me pick this adorable image and sentiment...thank you so much to DRS Designs!

I did a bit of coloring, paper piecing, and distressing; for embellishing I added a snippet of ribbon, a button, and Bella Dots.  I'm liking how this turned out...love the cheery pink paired with the fun image!

Mmmm...marshmallow cocoa!

Good morning!  It's time for another fun sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches; our sponsor for the week is DRS Designs and they were kind enough to let us each pick out some stamps.  I love my images!  A great big "Thank you" to DRS Designs!

Hot cocoa reminds me of snow, so I went with some some winter DP from Crate Paper.  I love the fun colors!  My cup is paper pieced and I added some snowflakes for embellishing.  The coordinating sentiment reads "You're so sweet!"

Good morning!  It's Tuesday, so that means it's time for another sketch challenge from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Our sponsor for the week is DRS Designs and they provided me with this baby sentiment...thank you DRS!  I must confess...I love making baby cards!

I stamped my sentiment on CS, diecut it and layered it with another diecut.  I added a simple felt flower and diecut leaves.  The inside of the flower is embellished with a tiny button and a Swarovski crystal.  I like how this sketch lets your DP take center stage.

Tuesday Morning Sketches Birthday: Week 4

Good morning! It's time for another challenge from Tuesday Morning Sketches! This is the last week of our birthday celebration, so I hope you will play along with us...as always, there are prizes!

This week our sponsor is DRS Designs and our theme is "Christmas in July". As soon as I saw this adorable face, I knew this image was the one for me! As I was looking through my DP, I found this fun paper from Daisy D's. I thought it might be fun to make a card a bit different than my normal style. I love the distressed look of the paper and thought it would be fun to combine with Kraft.

I used sketch TMS #43. The image is colored with pencils and I used some Distress Stickles on the jingle bells, along with a black gel pen on the eyes. The card is embellished simply with some buttons and twine.

Image: DRS Designs
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: PTI Kraft and Dark Chocolate, Daisy D's DP
Embellies: Distress Stickles in "Antique Linen", PTI Red Buttons, White Button (my stash)

I hope you will go on over to the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog and check out the rest of the DT's cards. Don't forget to play along!

Thanks for stopping by today; have a good one!
