Tuesday Morning Sketches #137

Happy Tuesday, it's time for another sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches. This one was created by our leader Melissa. It's a great one, isn't it? Hope you like it and will give it a try. 

Our sponsor this week is the There She Goes. I've used a stamp set from them, What's up Buttercup, that I've had forever and had not inked. Glad I finally inked it up! Hope you will play along for a chance to win a prize from them.


This is our monthly judged challenge. The added twist for the challenge is to use a monochromatic color scheme.

Stop by the Tuesday Morning Sketches Blog and check out the DT creations for some inspiration.

Hanging on the Line

Had a little more time to play with my new There She Goes Loads of Fun set. Any time I see a laundry line it reminds me of my Nana. We would spend time with her in the summer and she always hung out her laundry. We loved to help her. The laundry always smelled so good after it dried in the sun, probably had something to do with the salt air from living near the ocean, too.

Thought it was good timing on Mother's Day to post a card that reminded me of my Nana Fran. She is 96 now, and while her body is weak, she is still sharp as a tack.

The Tuesday Morning Sketch #44 was just perfect for this image too. Great simple sketch, I'll definitely come back to this one again.

I wish all the moms and grandmoms a happy Mother's Day. Hope you are spending time with your loved ones. Maybe even relaxing a bit!

Wrinkled Laundry

When I saw the JUGS31 sketch this week, I knew I wanted to use this image for it.

I just got this fun set from There She Goes. It has the funniest sentiments with it. I'm always joking with my hubby that the laundry is a never ending battle and sometimes it wins! With four kiddos I do at least one or two loads everyday. Doing it is not so bad, it's the folding and putting away that I don't like. Much more fun to color a basket of wash than to fold one.

Think I'll use these images and fun sentiments to make some cards for my husband. He travels a lot and these would be fun to tuck into his suitcase, think it would make him smile.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you are having a wonderful week. We are having great weather and spent hours outside today. I love the spring!
