Tuesday Morning Sketches #397

Good Morning Friends,

I'm working on building up my boy/male birthday card stash. This weeks sketch is perfect.

Sketch #397

Sponsor: Bugaboo (prize: 4 images)

My card features BUGBDAYPUPS

Bugaboo is currently moving her store to a new website. As soon as the new site is up and running I will post the link for you to find this adorable image.

 I colored these pups with copic markers, added various designer papers from My Mind's Eye (Hip-Hooray) The papers came with a sheet of punch outs. I took the present and dipped it in my melting pot with clear embossing powder to create my own dimensional embellishment.

Dragon with Cupcake

Good Morning Friends,

Today I'm sharing with you a brand new image from Flowers, Feathers and Fairies called Cupcake Dragon. Sabrina is such an amazing artist. After hearing about Sara's daughters (one of her designers) love for dragons and unicorns she created a special set. You can purchase the bundle of three images or each digi individually.

Here is my card

I used my lovely copics to color him up. Cut him out with a spellbinder label. Found this My mind's eye paper in my stash (after reorganizing all my cardstock and designer paper) The paper is from the collection called Hip Hooray. To create the tattered edge on all the layers I used my favorite tool from Closet to my Heart, the edge distresser tool.

I would love to enter this into the following challenges.
Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #116 - Anything goes
Simon Says #37 - Anything goes (use at least one die cut or punch)

Happy Birthday Eliza!

Welcome to our birthday party! One year ago Sabrina created her first digi stamp Eliza's flower swing. You can check out the rest of her amazing images in the etsy store by clicking here.

Today we are hosting a blog hop through our design team, featuring Eliza with a cupcake. If you arrived from Sabrina's blog you are on the right path.

School here in on spring break right now and my sweet kiddos wanted to join in the party as well. They have colored up the kitty image for us today. Rainbow cat is colored by my boy who is currently in Kindergarten and the grey cat w/pink background is colored by my girl who is in grade 2.

Now keep on hopping through our blog hop.

Tuesday Morning Sketches 395

Good morning TMS friends!  As promised we have a fabulous sketch by Jessi, our DT member who is still on leave.  We do miss her and hope she'll be returning soon.

Tuesday Morning Sketches is sponsoring this week and offering a $10 gift certificate to WPlus9.  

Here's the sketch....

And here's my card,

Our little friend turned four yesterday and she just loves dragons. I'm so far behind in my crafting lately that I'm just making her card today. Lucky for me, her party isn't until Sunday so I'm actually ahead of the game. lol. 

To create this card I cut out and drew the dragon using Cricut Cartridge Designer's Calendar #274804, Stacked four #4's from Cricut Keystone font on top of each other, used some bright papers from Close to my Heart and added some gems (4 red and 4 orange)

I would love to add this card to the following challenge

Gryphon

Good morning friends,

Today I'm so excited to share the new release from Flowers, feathers and fairies
Gryphon and you can purchase him here

Definition:
The gryphon is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and an eagle's talons as its front feet. Because the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle the king of birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. The griffin was also thought of as king of all creatures. Griffins are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions.^[1] In Greek and Roman texts, griffins and Arimaspeans were associated with gold. Indeed, in later accounts, "griffins were said to lay eggs in burrows on the grounds and these nests contained gold nuggets."^[2] Adrienne Mayor, a classical folklorist, proposes that the griffin was an ancient misconception derived from the fossilized remains of the Protoceratops found in gold mines in the Altai mountains of Scythia, in present-day southeastern Kazakhstan, or in Mongolia,^[3] though this hypothesis has been strongly contested as it ignores pre-Mycenaean accounts.^[4] In antiquity it was a symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine.^[5]

I can't wait to give this card to our nephew for his birthday! He's an amazing guy who is strong and powerful with a bit of magical just like this creature.
