MTSC58 Thank You

Good Tuesday Morning Peeps!! Can you believe it? The last Tuesday of January, the last Tuesday for me as Mercy's Guest Muse! I have had such a good time working along Mercy and all her uber talented design team. It has been an honor....Thanks girls!!!

Now onto my card......which is a "Thank You" to all! I am so in love with this flower stamp, it comes from the "Abundant Hope" set from the new Occasion mini.

My card base is made with PTI white card stock and I followed that with some so saffron card stock and then more white that I ran through my cuttlebug with the swiss dot embossing folder. The flowers are stamped with black stazon onto some 140# weight watercolor paper. I colored it with my aqua painter and certainly celery, so saffron, apricot appeal, barely banana and pumpkin pie ink. I used my largest rectangle nestie to cut out the flowers with. I then sponged bashful blue all around the flower while leaving the nestie in place. I matted with so saffron and added a edge at the bottom with my Fleur-di-lis edge punch. The sentiment comes from the "For All You Do" stamp set. I stamped it onto some scrap watercolor paper with black stazon. I sponged the edges with more bashful blue and pierced along the bottom. I added a button, from my stash, with some crochet twine through it.

Well, that is all for me today, be sure and check out the rest of the Muses' and see what they have created.

Good Tuesday Morning Peeps!!! Can you believe it? It is already week 3 of my Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge Guest Muse gig!!!!! The time has just flown by!


I am again playing with some of my new stuff and making "Valentines"! This card uses the beautiful "Sending Love" Specialty Paper from the Occasions Mini. Love this paper. I have to tell you, this card is soooooo me. It uses lots of DS paper and textures. This card just came together rather quickly, for me. Once I picked the paper and the stamps out it took less than 30 minutes, which believe me, for me, that is quickly!

The stamp set used for all the hearts is "I {heart} Hearts" from the new mini. They are all mounted with dimensionls. I added some 1/4" pretty in pink grosgrain ribbon and the three red hearts at the bottom are punched with a MS punch.

Well, that is all for me today, be sure and check out the rest of the Muses' and see what they have created.

MTSC Get Well Wishes

Good Tuesday Morning Peeps and welcome to week 2 of my Mercy's Guest Muse gig! I am so loving this! Mercy is a super sweet girl and all her Muses are awesome.

So onto this weeks sketch:




Last week I told you that I was determined to use up some of my huge stash of retired SU paper. This card is made with some more of it. The base is pacific point card stock and the DS paper is from the "Good Morning Sunshine" pack, both retired. I still love these colors, don't you? I also used some summer sun card stock and chocolate chip card stock.

What is new? Well, the bird and branch is punched from the new "Extra Large Two-Step Bird" Punch! It is great!!! Love that bird and the fact you can punch his wing from another color and add it with a dimensional! Toooo cute!!! The sentiment comes from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" set and is stamped with black stazon onto the DS paper and then I used my word window punch to punch it out. I needed it to be a little smaller so I put the punched out piece back into the punch opening at one end and punched again! I finished my card off with some chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon and three small white brads.

Well, that is all for me today, be sure and check out the rest of the Muses' listed below and see what eye candy they have created for your viewing pleasure.

Some Exciting News!!!

Good Tuesday Morning Peeps!!! I have some exciting news to share with you. A while back I got an e-mail from Mercy Kerin asking if I would like to be her guest Muse in January. SHUT UP!!!! Me? LOL!! I was super excited and very honored! She is a fabulous paper artist and her Design Team are all top notch as well.


Here is the sketch we are working with this week:




My card is made with some new items from the SU Occasions mini catalog. I love this new Specialty Paper, Sending Love. My card base is real red followed by very vanilla and the Specialty paper. The main panel has letters cut from the "naturally serif" sizzlits strip die. The Hearts come from the "I (Heart) Hearts stamp set. I added some real red grosgrain and I used my MS lace heart edge punch.

Well, that is all for me today, be sure and check out the rest of the Muses' and see what they have created.
