This sketch is perfect to feature your collection of washi tapes or use up some scraps of papers.  Have fun with this!  You have until Sunday, 8pm EST to link up.  Anything linked after that time - we will love seeing it but it will not be considered for the prize drawing.

And the winner is....

Good Morning!  I hope everyone had a great week.  It sure shows that you did with all the great cards you submitted.  I'm really sorry about the link up tool, it is not working as I expected and I'm working with the team at InLinkz to fix this - otherwise, I'll have to be creative.  But the link up will remain live but I draw precisely at 8pm EST for the prize.  If you linked after that it is not eligible for the prize draw.

The winner of the beautiful Christmas gift pack is....

Tuesday Morning Sketches #411

Good Morning!  I hope everyone's week is off to a great start.  We had some pretty strong storms last night which made it fun to just snuggle on the couch til bedtime.  Which is generally how I spend my evenings while I wait for my son to get home from work.  I cat nap until he gets home because I can't get into a restful sleep until I know he's home safe.  

So here's the sketch for this week.... It's so pretty!

Our required theme this week is.... Christmas in July.

Here's the prize one lucky random winner will get...

And here's what the team created to inspire you....

Okay - it's your turn!  We can't wait to see what you make.  So lower the temp on your AC, put on your favorite sweater and whip up a cup of hot cocoa and have some fun!

And the winner is....

Good Morning!  I hope everyone had a great weekend.  You all created some gorgeous cards to share with us.  Thank you for starting our month long celebration off with a bang!  I am so excited that you want to share this milestone with us.

The prize is already in an envelope ready to be mailed.  Who will the lucky winner be?  Before we get to that announcement, however, I need to take a moment of your time to clarify the rules and why is the link available all month long.  Please read this carefully.

Sketches will run as they usually do.  They are available from Tuesday, 6 am ET to Sunday, 8 pm ET.  At precisely 8 pm I will do the random draw for the prize.  The sketch is done - there will be no more submissions allowed on that sketch.  If there were 30 entries - the random draw will be 1-30.  If there were other entries submitted after 8pm, these numbers will be excluded from the drawing.  On Monday, I will announce the winner of that prize as usual.  I'll post a new sketch on Tuesday as usual along with the theme.

I am unable to suspend the link, please understand although you're welcome to link, your entry will not count for any drawing.

If we get say 30 entries every week - that will mean 120 entries will be in the random drawing for the big prize to be given at the end of the month.

Also, to be eligible for any prize, you need to include the theme.  We picked themes that shouldn't exclude anyone.  They are pretty simple and pretty fun.  Our intention is to inspire you to use your imagination and maybe some supplies you haven't used in awhile or give an occasion for you to use something you've been waiting for the right moment to use.

Enough about housekeeping rules - let's announce the winner of that very fun die set from CC Designs.  As I said, it's ready to go!  The winner is.....

Again, thank you all for joining us and really kicking off this party like all good parties should be.  Have a great Monday and we'll see you tomorrow for another great sketch, theme and fun prize pack.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #410

Good Morning TMS friends!  We're so happy that you're here.  Happy 4th of July to all - I hope you're enjoying your family, friends, good food and stunning fireworks displays.  Maybe that was over the weekend.

Although this is fun day of celebration for America, it's a personal celebration for Tuesday Morning Sketches.  We're 8 years old!  It doesn't seem all that long that ago and it floors me that we're almost 400 sketches.  I say almost because we always revisit previous year's sketches.  It's been a lot of fun and I hope TMS is around for more years to come.

We have a special month planned - yes, we are celebrating all month long.  We'll feature new sketches each week and there will be a theme, too.  There will be a prize weekly and the link tool will remain open until the end of the month leading to the last week.  But one thing to note, even though the link will remain open, at precisely 8pm ET I will do the random draw and keep note of the numbers.  So no sneaking in those late entries.  This means you have up to 4 chances to win the prize at the end of the month.  It's a pretty big prize so you'll want to get in on that.  It's also a surprise so I won't say anymore on that.

This week's prize... (note C.C. Designs is not sponsoring)

Here's the Sketch....

And the theme is....

Now, before we go looking through all the great cards our design team created, please give a warm welcome to our newest DT member, Carol!  She's been a faithful TMS player for a long time and we've long admired her work.  I am thrilled that she is joining us!

Good Morning friends!  I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Some of us actually have a 4 day weekend here in the states.  I'm not one of them - my company doesn't work that way.  But it's okay, I have a lot to do.

Thank you all so much for joining us this week. What a great turnout!  And what fabulous cards you all shared.  I enjoyed visiting each blog.  The winner of the prize of an embossing folder is...
