2012-01-16T05:59:00.001-05:00

Good Morning! Hope you all had a great weekend. My weekend was entirely too short. My Saturday is usually dedicated to grocery shopping, cleaning, an evening with friends and very little stamping. Sunday is my day for stamping. But not this weekend. I worked part of the day yesterday so I had very little time for stamping. Then Sunday was a super busy after that - I had a unexpected house-full of guests. It was nice, but no stamping got done. I also didn't get around to the usual commenting that I do, so I apologize to TMS fans and DT members for being MIA on my blog visits.

I assure you that I have seen each of your cards and have loved every one of them.

I also want to take this time to thank Jodie of Bugaboo for sponsoring and a special shout out to Tammy who has been amazing in orchestrating the sponsoring, getting us images to play with and wonderful inspiration from her team. I am so glad that Bugaboo is a regular sponsor here at TMS.

And now the biggest thanks of all - thank you to YOU! If it weren't for our awesome players TMS would just be another blog. So lets shout out to 6 of our players that were voted winner and Top 5.

The winner is....

#12 Shar B.

And the Top 5 are...

#2 Becky Spinks

#6 Tameko

#7 Ginger

#9 Beverly G

Good Morning! It's a happy day here at Tuesday Morning Sketches. We have a friendly sketch, a fun twist and wonderful sponsor. This week, we have Bugaboo sponsoring.

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

The sketch....

The twist... Yes! We're playing BINGO. You can pick vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or 4 corners. When you're posting your creation, be sure to include which BINGO you did.

Inspiration from our Guests from Bugaboo....

Lola

Marilyn

Yvonne

And my team....

After that line up, you must be feeling inspired and your creative juices overflowing. So enjoy the challenge, we can't wait to see what you do with the sketch and BINGO.

And the winner is...

2011-12-12T05:59:00.001-05:00

Good Morning! I hope you had a super weekend. Even though we had a few participants this past week, we're still very thankful that you came to play with us. We also want to send out a huge thanks to Tiffany for sponsoring us. She's definitely a favorite here.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #114

2011-10-04T05:59:00.001-04:00

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.

And the winner is...

2011-10-03T05:59:00.001-04:00

Good Morning! I hope you're ready for a really fun sketch and a great sponsor. This week's sketch is brought you to by Theresa and we're being sponsored by There She Goes which is so appropriate since TSG is one of Theresa's all time favorite stamp companies (I like them, too) and she's now a Jr. Trendsetter - a dream come true for her, so you can say this challenge is all about my sister and right-hand gal for the TMS blog.

So here we go. The sketch....

And the inspiration...

What a fun line up! I am loving all these cards. Now it's your turn.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #104

2011-07-26T05:59:00.003-04:00

Good Morning! Are you ready for a fun challenge? As announced yesterday, K 'n K Designs is sponsoring and this line up is adorable. I can't wait to show it to you. So let's just jump right on in.

Now, a word or two about the sketch, when I created it my intention was to portray the outer two white lines to represent embossing, but the more I looked it, it really could represent just about anything. Embossing, windows or lots of layering. Just have fun with this!

And here's how the team interpreted it.....

Angela

Dawn

Jackie

Tuesday Morning Sketches #103

2011-07-19T05:59:00.001-04:00

Good Morning! I hope you're doing well and ready for another week of fun here at TMS. As announced yesterday we have By LORi Designs sponsoring us this week. I want to say thank you to Lori for sponsoring and for sharing a couple of her sweet images with me and my team.

This week's sketch is brought to you by DT Member Dawn Barghorn. It's a really easy, fun sketch that is only limited to your imagination.

Dawn

Angela

Jackie

Theresa

Jessica

Kathy

Melissa

I think that was a super duper cute line up! I love everyone's cards and even though only two of Lori's images were used here, you can see just how different each can look with each papercrafting artist.

Now it's your turn. Show us what you can do with Dawn's sketch and if you have any digis from By LORi Designs, we'd love to see you use them. Have fun!!

And the winner is...

2011-07-18T05:59:00.001-04:00

Good Morning! Happy Monday to everyone. I am so glad you're here. I am really thankful to Laurie for sponsoring us once again. Doodle Pantry has to be one of my most favorite sponsors, she is very sweet and so giving. Her images are wonderful, too. I am also very thankful for all the players, few or many. This week there were few, but I did enjoy each and every bookmark card that was made.

The decision for the winner is done by vote by the members of my team. Also, the top 5. However, this week the vote was merely for the winner. Everyone else with the exception of player #1 is in the top 5. Player #1 was an entry from fabulous Doodle Pantry DT member Glenda Atkins. Definitely an Honorable Mention because she did so well.

So the winner of the Doodle Pantry prize and will be a Featured Stamper is....

#5 Beverly
** whoo-hoo ** cartwheels ** head-stands **

Congratulations Beverly!!

And our top 5 is....

#2 Melody
#3 Anne
#4 Cockney Blonde
#6 Stephanie G
#7 Susie Little
** whistles ** cheers **

I know you all get Top 5 because you make up the rest of the players, but I want you to know that even if there were a hundred players, you'd all be top 5 in my book. Thank you so much for playing. Please email me at tuesdaymorningsketches@gmail.com so I can send you a blinkie for your blogs. You deserve them.

Now we'll see you all back here tomorrow when we'll be featuring a fun sketch from one of our DT members, Dawn has a cute, easy sketch for us to play with. We're also being sponsored by the wonderful LORi BOYD of By LORi Designs. Her simple, sweet and innocent images are a joy to work with! You're sure to want to play along.

Have a super Monday and we'll see you tomorrow.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #102

2011-07-12T05:59:00.010-04:00

Good Morning! It's Tuesday - the sun is shining (somewhere), Doodle Pantry is sponsoring and there's a new challenge here at TMS. It's going to be a great day!

Yep, as I said, we've got Laurie from Doodle Pantry back as a sponsor - she's one of our favorites!! I just love her adorable images and Laurie is so sweet and so kind and very generous! Did you see her last challenge? Just for participating you get a whole digi set for free. I'm still working on my card to play along.

Well, speaking of challenges, I think I have a fun one this week.

Create a Card with Detachable Bookmark

Everyone who knows me, knows that I am an avid reader. My daughter is becoming one, too. I am so proud! So this challenge fits right in with us. You can find some really great tutorials on this card style. One here on SCS and then this one on You Tube are only a couple of them.

Now let's get to some amazing inspiration from my design team. You will see magnetic, corner bookmarks that can be added with temporary adhesive to the inside of a card and then bookmarks like in these tutorials. Be creative! But be sure to show plenty of pictures so I can see how your card has a detachable bookmark. This is a Judged Challenge, so really show off.

Angela (detachable flap)

Dawn (her bookmark slips into the pocket)

Jackie (love he notch in the front)

Jessica (her bookmark is magnetic)

Kathy (super cute corner bookmark)

Theresa (very elegant corner bookmark)

Stephanie (magnetic fold over bookmarks

Melissa (detachable with perforated line)

Now it's your turn! Have fun with this challenge. Be sure to drop by Doodle Pantry, too. Laurie always offers freebies. Jackie, Stephanie and Dawn used the new Quirky Alligator which is free for now and there are others. And since you'll already be in her store, you might as well do a little shopping, digis are affordable and instant gratification.

And the winner is...

2011-07-11T05:59:00.000-04:00

Good Morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready to begin a new week. I'm kinda dreading today, Mondays aren't very nice at work - but I am thankful to have a job to go to. So my attitude must stay positive and thankful.

I know I am thankful for the wonderful participants we had this week, I really enjoyed looking at all the creations that were shared. I am super thankful to Heather of Paper Pretties for sponsoring and offering such an adorable prize and for sharing some of her great images with me and my team.

So let's get to the winner announcement. This week's random winner is....

#12 Victoria Lavender

2011-06-14T05:59:00.001-04:00

Good Morning! I want to thank everyone who played along with us last week! What a great turn-out. I also want to thank Theresa for picking up where I fell short with posting the winners yesterday and annoucing the sponsor. As she said, Tiffany's Doodles is back to sponsor once again and there's a brand new look to the store. Also, Tiffany is running a fantastic sale, BUY 3 GET 1 FREE!

Let's get right to the challenge - this week's challenge is from Angela. She decided on an inspiration challenge. So here we go....

Angela

Dawn

Jackie

Jessica

Kathy

Stephanie

Theresa

You may or may not have noticed that I am not in the line up. I decided I need a week off. With Hollyanne's dance recital this past weekend and the AC breaking and being just utterly exhausted, I really needed a break - but this with awesome line up, you are certainly not going to miss me! But it is a JUDGED CHALLENGE week, which means you need rock out this challenge if you want the prize from Tiffany's Doodles and be a featured stamper. So be sure to come back here after creating your masterpiece to link it up. Be sure to leave us a comment, too.

Have fun!

And the winners are...part two

2011-06-13T12:29:00.000-04:00

Hello Ladies,

It's Theresa here...I chatted with Melissa and since I am home we decided that I would do the drawing today. The only problem I have is that I don't have a clue how to copy the boxes Melissa does from Random.org. You'd think I'd know how to do that, but it just stumps me.

So here are today's winners:

The Whimsie Doodles winner is...

#7 - Tricia T.

and the winner of the weekly card give away is....

#20 Paula Bee

Congratulations ladies. Please email Melissa at tuesdaymorningsketches@gmail.com so that she can facilitate your prizes. Thank you to all 33 of you that joined along. Your creations were fabulous. Be sure to come by tomorrow as we have another great sponsor:

Have a fabulous day. See you all tomorrow.

Theresa

And the winners are...

2011-06-13T05:59:00.001-04:00

Good Morning Everyone!

I need to beg your pardon - it was an extremely busy weekend with Hollyanne's recital and I am just plain tired out!! I tried to rest yesterday, but I still had laundry, cleaning and reset for a new week to do and then had to leave it all for a couple of cooling hours in a movie theater with my kids. My AC broke down on Friday and it was way hot in my apartment that we just needed to get away.

I promise I will have the winners announced this evening when I get home from work.

Thanks friends.
Hugs,
Mel

2011-05-24T05:59:00.003-04:00

Good Morning! I hope you didn't miss the announcement for the winners and the prize sponsor, I did post it rather late, which ordinarily doesn't happen, but was unavoidable this week.

Anyway, as I announced yesterday,we are sponsored this week by Digital Delights and I couldn't be more thrilled. Wendy's images are absolutely wonderful!! And I want to thank you for providing some really great images for us to play with.

So, let's start with the sketch....

*Not available for card giveaway.

And the winners are...

2011-05-23T22:06:00.000-04:00

Good Evening! I hope you all had a great weekend, mine was super busy. I am always excited to have really awesome sponsor's and fabulous players, lots or not so many. Thank you to One Stop Cards for sponsoring and thank you to the 4 players. However, with only 4 players, it makes it really impossible to have a winner and the Top 5. And a weekly card giveaway person. So I've decided that it is best if we postpone the Judged Challenge to this week's challenge. This week's winner will be done by random draw and there will be a weekly card giveaway winner. But how am I going to permit due applause to those players, well, that will remain a surprise.....

The winner of the voucher from One Stop Card Crafts is....

#1 Kathy Schweinfurth

** whoo-hoo ** applause ** cheers **

And the winner of the weekly card giveaway is...

#4 Debbie

** yippeee!! **

Congratulations ladies, please email me at tuesdaymorningsketches@gmail.com so I can facilitate prizes. Debbie, please send me your mailing address and card selection. You may choose from any of the cards in last week's line up except Angela's. Sorry, I know it's super cute, but.... :0)

And Dawn and Debbie, without the two of you there'd be no surprise for all the players.... please email me as well.

OK - have a great Monday night, and I apologize for the late winner's post. It couldn't be helped this time. So we'll see you here tomorrow for another fun sketch and we're joined by a sweet sponsor, Wendy of Digital Delights... *squeal* I love Wendy's images! So super duper cute!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #94

2011-05-17T05:59:00.006-04:00

Good Morning! It's Tuesday and we have a really fun challenge on Tuesday Morning Sketches for you this week. We have a great sponsor returning this week, One Stop Card Crafts is back with us and is offering a £10.00 shopping voucher. This week is also the Judged Challenge, so it's time to pull out all the stops and really let yourself go.

So Theresa decided on this week's challenge, she said we're going to pull out an older technique....

Crayon Resist

You remember that? Yep, it's time to raid your children's, grandchildren's, niece's or nephew's crayon box for their white crayon. This technique is so easy that delivers a lot of pop. There are a couple of really great videos available to help you through this technique: Gina K's Stamp TV Video and one that was produced for Hero Arts. Of course, these are only a couple, there are lots on You Tube.

And here's the team line up.....
