Tuesday Morning Sketches #114

Good Morning!  Happy Tuesday to you!  Once again, I'd like to thank everyone who joined us last week.  I have much to share with you in hopes that it will bring more players to join us.

First of all, our sponsor this week is One Stop Card Crafts - a sweet little internet store in the UK with all your crafting needs just a click away!  I want to thank Michelle for sponsoring us.

It's October and if you've followed TMS and played regularly then you know that October is a very special month.  Theresa's birthday is this Thursday, Oct 6th, but my family celebrates an even more special birthday.  Theresa turns 4 this year.... 4 year breast cancer survivor!  I will never forget the evening when my sister called to tell me she'd been diagnosed.  I was shoe shopping with my oldest son.  I kept myself together until I got to the car and then cried and cried and cried.  My sister is one of my very best friends.  She's my right hand gal for TMS and she's a very talented, very big hearted, very kind woman.  So October, I know is Breast Cancer Awareness and this month is dedicated to that... and dedicated to my sister.

The blog challenges will run as usual this month but I have an added twist.  My team wasn't even aware that I was throwing this in (bad me!) but I think it's going to be fun.  Play along every week this month, add PINK to your card and only combine the TMS challenge with a maximum of 2 other challenges and your name will be entered for a chance to win blog candy.  But remember you must follow all the rules to be eligible.  So are you ready to play?

Here's this week's sketch....



And now for the inspiration.  Remember, I kinda sprung this on my team, so there is not a lot pink in the line up, but it's a super fanstastic line up, just the same!















Now it's your turn.  I can't wait to see what you create this week.  And please, I invite you to visit Theresa to leave her birthday wishes.

  1. So every card this month should have pink in it and only combine with 2 other challenges?
