Hey everyone! Our first challenge of March is up at the Use Your Stuff blog! Our theme is paper strips! You can use a full strip or like me use strips to make banners and borders! This is such an easy challenge and so we hope that you will play along with us!

I decided to use a sketch from the January 2023 Page Maps for this one. The paper is from Your Next Stamp’s Birthday Girl and the Make a Wish is from Scrapbook & Cards Today. I decided to give it some interest by die cutting it 4x and then gluing it to the outline. I added some gel pen lines to the black strip and the hearts are from YNS as well.

Be sure to stop by the Use Your Stuff blog and play along with us and to see what some of the other DT have created with their paper strips!

Hey everyone, guess what? It’s my sketch choice up on the blog at Tuesday Morning Sketches today.

I picked this one, because it’s so simple and really, you can use just one piece of 6×6 double sided paper and some focal image or embellishment and voila, you are done. You could literally make this in 5 mins!

So this was my first card back in February of last year!

Here’s today’s for you!

So an interesting note. I created the second card first and then went back to find the first one for this post. I was surprised at how similar the two are! 🙂 I used one piece of 6×6 paper that was tucked in with a birthday card that I was given to make this card. I die cut some cardstock circles to match. The sentiment is just from my stash and the vellum leaves are Stampin Up. A few enamel dots and gems from my stash and this is ready to go!

Be sure to head to the blog for the rest of the DT showcases and I can’t wait to see what you create too!

This week’s sketch is Raechelle’s favorite up on the Tuesday Morning Sketches Blog!

This is a great simple sketch! So my first card with this one was this fun little Christmas card.

This time staying with a holiday card, I went with Valentine’s Day.

This one was really easy to put together. I just dug into my Valentine’s box for all the elements. I started with the 3×4 journal card and then I matted it on some cardstock. I had this fun heart paper that I thought would work great and then just a little Valentine’s sentiment from Verve Stamps. Really simple but you could totally layer up this card if you wanted!

Thanks for stopping by and head over to the blog and see the great projects from the DT.

Another new sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches for you!

Here’s Debbie’s choice!

My first card was this one

Here is my new card!

I just used some bits and bobs from my Valentine’s box for this one. I also had these enamel tag and hearts that I really wanted to play with! I just added some flowers from my stash, and a little bit of rose designed washi.

Be sure to stop by the TMS blog and see the rest of the DT creations and don’t forget to play along with us!

#477 Use Your Stuff

Hey there! Our first challenge for February is up at Use Your Stuff and in honor of my birthday on the 11th, the theme is numbers!

Not sure why I went with a Halloween project, maybe it’s because I was getting bug-eyed creating birthday cards for a group I’m in and needed a change! I just used bits and bobs from my Halloween box for my ATC so nothing really to link to on this one! ATC’s are a great way to use up those little pieces of whatever may be on your desk and a great way to practice your layering as well!

Head on over to the UYS blog and play along with us! Don’t forget to leave some love for the DT!

Hiya! I hope you have been playing along with us at Tuesday Morning Sketches. We have another favorite for you. We are working with Melissa’s favorite this go round. This was one of my fave’s for the year as well.

So back in October when we introduced this challenge, this was my card.

Here’s my new one!

I pulled out my case with all my Valentine’s papers and embellishments and so I will be doing a lot with them this month. For this one, I am using a lot of pieces and papers from the Love Me Do collection from My Mind’s Eye…..go back to 2009! That’s how long it’s been sitting in my stash! Quite a different color palette from the first time I played with this sketch right! There’s a little bit of heart washi in there too.

I hope you like it, come along and play with us and as an added bonus, try and find something that you have had in your stash for quite a while and breathe some new life into it ok! Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you on the blog!

Hello everyone! It’s been awhile, but I’m back today and I’ve got a new old challenge for you from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

It’s time for the year in review where the DT picks their favorite sketches of the year and we create all new projects!

Our sketch this week comes from Donna!

Donna chose sketch #659 for her favorite.

This was the card I made then from a Scrapbook & Cards Today Sampler.

Here is today’s card, surprise! Made from another sampler!

I used papers and cut outs from the August 2020 sampler, which had product from Pink Paislee’s 5th & Monaco collection and the Kate and Ash collection from Simple Stories. The sentiment is from my stash and the enamel dots are Simple Stories.

I hope you like it, and be sure to come play along with us this week over on the blog. The DT has created some great projects for you to see!

Hey everyone! I’m sorry I’ve been MIA lately. It’s been crazy in my house. Lots of home stuff going on, but here I am with the new sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches!

So I’m a bit in the Christmas mood these days so I pulled out my Simple Stories Vintage Rustic Christmas papers and paired it with my Simple Stories Holly Jolly!

I added some green & red twine and a little bit of gold leafy die cuts! I think this turned out really really well. Come play along with us on the blog! The DT has created some awesome projects for you to check out!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Have a look on the Make the Cards Challenge blog…did you see our newest theme?

I know my friends south of us will be celebrating their Thanksgiving this month so it’s only fitting that our theme be thankful!

I’ve been playing with this Carta Bella autumn sticker book. I just love it, so I thought I would use some of the stickers along with some paper from Simple Stories’ Autumn Splendor!

I hope you like it, and don’t forget to play along with us on the blog!
