Tuesday Morning Sketches #735

Hello TMS friends!  We're so happy you're here!  I'm glad to see more players for the last challenge - I know I loved visiting everyone who entered.

Instead of a shout out to one, we're shouting out to 3 entries that knocked our socks off....

#2 Suzanne Reynolds

#16 Kellianne

#20 Polly Libby

Great job on your cards.  I also want to honorably mention Tracy B for her two entries just for the color combo she used!  Wow!!

Now, let's take a look at this week's sketch and DT inspiration...

Tuesday Morning Sketches #734

Hello TMS friends!  Thank you all for joining us last week.  Before we get to this week's challenge, a message on behalf of my team and myself...

This week is Thanksgiving week here in the US.  This is the week that families get together, eat lots of good food and reflect on what we're thankful for.  My team and I are very thankful to all of you who join our challenges.  Whether you never miss challenge or you can only join every so often, we're thankful to you.  TMS has been around since 2009.  I started this challenge blog in July of that year and a few months later my world be turned upside down when my husband left my children and I.  Well, TMS has been here along with some really great team members have been my therapy and you all brought me through a very dark period of my life.  Since then my children have grown and flown the nest and I have made a lot of crafty friends.  I continue to be thankful of this hobby and of each and everyone of you.

To my team and TMS friends, I am thankful for you!

Okay - let's get to this challenge!  We're teaming up with our friends at Double Trouble again!  So with our sketch, there's an added twist.  Add stitching to your project.  






Our design team created some really lovely cards....









We hope you have fun!  We cannot wait to see what you come up with using these combined challenges.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #732

Hello TMS friends!  Thank you for joining us for another fun sketch challenge!  Before we get to this week's sketch, let's give a shout out to...

#5 Petra!

Here's this week's sketch...


Remember, I've always said a shape is a shape and it can take many forms.  We just need to be able to recognize the sketch in whatever you make, whether it be a card, a journal page or mixed media.  Have fun with it.

Let me give you a tip for square cards, should you make one.  If you make it 4 1/4 square or 5 inches square, you can put this in a regular size A2 or A7 size envelope and still only pay 1st class postage (provided your card isn't highly embellished or really thick).  It'll just have some extra room.  Think of it like when you were a kid and your mom bought you new shoes that were a size too big so they'd last longer.  The envelope just has some extra toe room.

Have fun!
