Easter blessings - TMS #294


Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!  This week, we are excited to have an SVG company sponsoring, so that's what you see on my card today...


Our sponsor is SVG Attic... 

My little lamb comes from the set JGW Happy Easter.  I took the "image" and put it on my card, but this little guy is made for a shaped box.  Lots of cool stuff in this set!!  {I cut him using Make-the-Cut and made a shadow layer so he'd stand out better against the white background.} 

I stretched our wonderful sketch by Melissa...



Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to go check out the creations from the rest of our DT...

Hot cocoa - TMS #293


Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!

Spring is officially here, but we've had a couple of days with temps only in the 20's, and some of my family (and our teamie Jessi) still have piles and piles of snow, so it's really more hot cocoa weather than flip flop time!  


My image is Heather Valentin's Rory's Hot Cocoa from Sweet Pea Stamps... our sponsor for this week!  We're happy to have Sweet Pea as a new sponsor!!



This week, we are playing with one of my sketches...  I hope you like it!

Cotton candy!! :)


I've got a "sweet" kid's card for you today.  It's got cotton candy on it!  {I love cotton candy even though I'm not a kid!!  My kids buy it for me at Christmas. :)}  It does seem that there are fewer and fewer places to find it fresh which is very sad!   I know it's pure sugar, but it's soooooo yummy! 

So here's my cotton candy card...


My image and digi paper are from Doodle Pantry's Cotton Candy Ants.  The sentiment is cut using Spellbinders Ribbon Banners and the image is cut with Petite Ovals.  The are both inked with TH faded jeans distress ink.  A few buttons and some AC ribbon are all my simple embellishments.

Fab 'n Funky #250 - focus on the image
Sister Act #97 - anything goes plus blog hop
