Winter Wishes and Thank You for TMS 539

Today at Tuesday Morning Sketches it is another revisited sketch and this is one that I chose.  I made two samples with this layout. For the first one I punches three Fiskar snowflakes on glitter cardstock and put a sentiment on the middle and sequins on the other two. Then put these snowflakes on a piece of light blue vellum.
For my second card, I used images from Bugaboo Rose Trio. I colored them with Copics and mounted it on a piece of Glossy navy paper and added some light blue sequins.

Cute Valentine Elephant

Today at Catch the Bug, it's New Release or when a an older stamp is put into the new shop.  Today it's Cute Valentine Elephant. He reminds me of Dumbo with those heart ears.  I wanted to do something different and I actually colored him blue. I also think he would be great for a baby card.

Retirement...what the #%*! is that?

Today at Catch the Bug is Thursday Oldie but Goodie.  For my card, I used Stella peeker Retirement.  I have a co-worker that is retiring at the end of this month and she is an excellent social worker. Our company has actually hired someone to replace her and has started her training which is great because we have such a need for their services. I made this card for all my co-workers for sign for her.

Let it Snow

We are scheduled for snow the next few days, and I am not trying to encourage anything. However, I got some new snowflake dies from Tim Holtz and Birch Press and just love how they look together. The papers on the inside are shimmer which don't show up well in the photo and then I added some brads. The snowflakes on the outside are glitter and shimmer along with sequins.

Birthday Wishes on Day 6 of the Bash

We are getting to the end of the Catch the Bug Down on the Farm 10th Annual Birthday Bash. Today is a Color Challenge and for my card I used Ewe Move Me and a sentiment which is retired from Verve. We are going to have it with wind chills today around -10. I just took my garbage out and the wind is a blowing - nasty. So I wanted to keep things sunny and bright so I added a huge button to my Spellbinder die cut to look like a sun. Welcome to my new members Corry and Connie.

Floral Die cut for TMS 537

Starting off the New Year at Tuesday Morning Sketches we are looking back at DT favorite's sketches from 2019 to re-use.  So for this week we are using Debbie's favorite. We had 18 players - we can do more than this! Our prize this week is a gift pack of some really fun ribbons! They would be perfect for this sketch to create those strips/flags.
For my card, I used some paper that I got as a gift from a friend this past summer and some Spellbinders.  I didn't put a sentiment on it so I could use it for a birthday, hi, thanks or sympathy depending on my need. 

This is the card that I made for the challenge in 2019

Going HOG WILD on Day 4 of the Birthday Bash

It's already Day 4 of the Catch the Bug Down on the Farm 10th Annual Birthday Bash and today is a BINGO using the New Release or a re-do of a previously released image. So today we have this Pig Present with a sentiment from TLC, Create. I cheated and did die cuts with stitching instead of taking the time to pull out my sewing machine. So then I was able to use all the items on the BINGO card, which I like to do. Can't wait to see what everyone creates.
