Sites of the week

Before I get into the TCP Tuesday post, I want to let you know that Jen Tapler is having a HUGE blog candy give away that benefits the Alzheimer’s Association. You can check it out HERE.

Well, today is Tuesday, so it’s time for another TCP Tuesday challenge. This week, Leigh has put together a fun sketch…which I managed to mess up a little. When I scribbled down the sketch to take into my studio, I forgot to write “sentiment” in the circle panel and then used it as my main image panel. OOPS! I still like the card, so I am just going with it! Here it is…

Here’s the sketch…

So, wanna play along with the TCP Tuesday challenge?…EVERYONE can! Here’s what you are gonna want to know…

10. Oh yea…HAVE FUN!

Last week, Emily came up with an AWESOME color challenge! I love this pic of green, gold and orange…

My first thought was to do an elegant card, but once I came across this turtle stamp I knew that I had to use it and go “cutesy” style. This stamp is another in the Turtle Tots line, called Picking Posies.

Recently, I have become very enamored with Kraft paper, so I started by stamping the image directly on Kraft paper. I then colored it in with Copic markers and Inksentials pen by Ranger, which is probably the BESTEST white gel pen out there!!

Emily will be announcing a new challenge today on the Bella blog. I hope you will play along!

Also, there is a stamp up for grabs for participants in this week’s SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY Here.

Happy Saturday! It’s time for another fun SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY and I have a Whiff of Joy stamp to give away as a blog tart…YAY!
First, I want to thank Katharina Frei for asking me to do some cards for Whiff of Joy, and also for donating the Melinda Blowing Kisses stamp from the Guardian Angel Collection. THANK YOU! More info on how to win down below

Here is the sketch for this week…

Feel free to be creative with the star embellishment and the three circles on the bottom!! Here is my sample, using new Whiff of Joy stamps…

The amazing Jenn Diercks {this month’s Designer of the Month} came up with this beauty…
