Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #716

 Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 

 

 Here is the sketch for this week:

 

Recently I came across a container of card kits that I had made for a class but didn't get used.  I was able to use some of the pieces from one of the kits to create my card for this challenge.

AHSC Happy Thoughts & SU Card Class

After struggling with what to make for yesterday's Joyful Stars CTMH blog hop post,  the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge made today's card a breeze.  And, with the heart embellishments, this card will join the others I've been making for the 

Cards for Little Hearts current card drive.

Once again, I've used papers and zip strips from the 

new CTMH Chelsea Gardens paper pack. 

The sentiment is from CTMH, but is far from new.

Heart and dot embellishments finish off the card.

Here's the sketch I followed:

Tuesday I attended Jan Hoyt's SU card class. 

Although we stay in touch, it was nice to see her again.

Her class focuses on fun and simple cards like these:

That's not dirty snow, just a coating of glitter pen that photographed badly.  Honest!

When in Florida, you can say this and know you won't be doing any shoveling!

I'm saving this one for my grandson who will be 18 in March.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. 

Fall Happy Thoughts

This card is a conglomeration of worktable leftovers, a speech bubble that was too small for another card, a little black cricut cat, and a Bugaboo digi image.   I really just wanted to use the new washi tape I didn't need but couldn't resist.

 

 Oh my, this photo is a bit crooked.

Happy Thoughts

With a post entitled "Happy Thoughts" you might be expecting some highly intellectual or profound ponderings.  Sorry to disappoint.  It is merely the sentiment, a Taylored Expressions stamp, I used on my card for this week's Sketch Challenge #93 at Atlantic Hearts.

(flower stamps are CTMH)

At first glance I knew this sketch was going to require some resourcefulness.  I have no border punches or fancy scissors with me to create the bottom edge.  What I did have was a pad of papers, one of which had a pattern I could cut easily.  I also don't have brads or gems to place on either side of the sentiment.  So I used a black marker to make a dot and then added a drop of liquid glass to create the illusion of brads.

I am submitting this card to the following challenges:
Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #93
Loves Rubber Stamps Challenge #137 - Anything Goes
Shopping Our Stash Challenge #187 - Get Inky (First stamp pad I bought was black. It's been reinked a few times by now.)

Wishing you all Happy Thoughts.
