Tuesday Morning Sketches #97

It's Tuesday again, time for a new sketch from Melissa at Tuesday Morning Sketches. It's a fun one again this week.

Our sponsor is Whimsie Doodles, and they generously supplied us with some cute images. I love this adorable cow, she is called Bell the Cow and comes with a cute little bee image, too.

Hope you will check out the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog for some inspiration from the DT. And hope you will take some time to play along with us this week.

Thanks for dropping by today!

Whimsy and Stars

You might need some shades for this one! I was going for bright and cheerful here. This one is already on the way to my chemo angel buddy. Thought it might bring her a smile during a difficult time.

The image is one from Mabelle RO's latest digi release at Whimsy and Stars called Rosie Posie. Just heard that Mabelle has a June digi release coming up soon, can't wait for the details!

I've used an older sketch from SCS (SC237).

Thanks for dropping by today. Hope you are all doing well.

One for the Guys

The DT challenge this week at Designed2Delight is to make a manly card without flowers. So I made a cute Father's Day card to give to my hubby. I went for a clean and simple look here, he doesn't really go for frou frou things.

I used the Midnight Madness sketch challenge #106. I went with the simple version of the sketch.

The image is called Fishing Valentine. I did add a touch of glitter to the hearts (lol, hope this doesn't make it girly). Hope you will join us and play along this week.

Phindy's Friday Challenge

TGIF! Time for another Phindy's Friday Challenge. The challenge this week is a sketch challenge. The fantastic sketch was designed by our fellow design teamie Anne-Marije. Here is my take on the sketch using the Bountiful Bouquet image from Phindy's Place. One really cool thing about this image is that it comes in four styles (boy, girl, African American boy, African American girl), you can see all of them in the Cute Kids section. I think it's great to have these options!

Her is a close up, I had trouble capturing the glitter on the orange flowers. It is prettier in real life!

Hope you will check out the Phindy's Friday challenge blog and see what the other DT members have created and play along with us this week. You don't have to use a Phindy's image to play along, but if you do you get a second entry into the random drawing!

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Daisy Doodles Blog Hop!

Welcome to Daisy Doodles big celebration blog hop. There is plenty to celebrate today. Jules the owner/creator is celebrating her wedding anniversary and Daisy's Digi Doodles shop has been open exactly one year today. So let's send lots of good wishes to Jules, her hubby and the store today! Happy anniversary and many more!

If you arrived from  Tina's  Crafty Place blog you are in the right spot. If you just happened upon my blog you can start at the beginning of the hop at Daisy Doodles Creative Challenge blog.

The image I used for my card is called Bloomin' Potty. I used the Eat, Sleep, Stamp Sketchy Thursday #133 for the layout here. I printed the image three times and cut and layered the flowers for dimension.

Here is a close up to see the dimension on these blooms, I colored them to look like one of my fave flowers gerbera daisies. A touch of stickles in the centers and some crystal effects on the leafs.

Now for a special treat Jules has graciously allowed each stop to give away the image they used. So one random commenter will win this Bloomin' Potty image. Leave me a comment on this post and I'll pick a random comment on Sunday night.

There is a big sale going on in the store this weekend (50% off everything), so head on over to the store for the deets and to pick up those images you've been eyeing. June 15 The Daisy Doodles Creative Challenge blog will be posting a new challenge where a DD image is necessary to participate, so you can pick up an image now, while they are on sale!

At the end of the hop you will have the chance to win an image of your choice if you've commented on all the posts. So make sure and comment along the way. Your next hop stop is the talented Cheryl's blog,    She Stamps.  I'm sure she has prepared something fabulous for you. 

Thanks for hopping with us today!

Adding the winner of the image is #11 Babe! Joanne will be posting the winners' list on the Daisy Doodles blog tomorrow 6/12. Thank you all for your sweet comments.

DTBST~no patterned papers

The challenge today at SSD is no patterned papers. So a card or project with only solids. Hmm, harder than I thought it would be, lol.

Anyway, I came up with this graduation card. I used Sandra's Graduation for this card. Hope you will play along for the chance to win 2 Sassy Studio images. There is also a guest design team call going on right now, so check out the details.

I'm using the Mojo Monday sketch #193 for the layout of this card.
