ILS by Tsunami Rose! Day 230

Alrighty, I'm trying to catch up with my cards. I've been in a bit of a funk but I'm ready to get back to work. This was the card I made for today's sketch. I'll be posting like 2 cards per day until I'm all caught up for the month. 

There is also still some time if you'd like to join my October Design Team, click here for more information.

Also, please don't forget to join my sketch contest! It is being held in my FB group, click here for more information.

September 18-  Sketch #17 (Click here to get your copy of ILS September 2012)

Item used from the shop:

I inked the edges in Dutch Blue from CTMH. And the sentiment is also from CTMH.

I used my Art Philosophy cart to cut out the square white pocket at 3" and I also used the ticket shape that is actually  layered and backed with chipboard, I think I cut it out at 1 3/4" I embellished that with a lace bow.

I used some pretty lace to represent the banner that was in the sketch. I used little 13mm half back pearls.

The whole card is 5x7. The sentiment says "I'm Happy to be sending this birthday wish to you..."

I just adore the bingo design right now. And this is just such a nice blue and I love that it already has a little bit of that distressed look that I don't have to work hard to achieve.

I Love Sketches By Tsunami Rose! Day 49

Today I went to my momma's house and my grandmother was there. She's going back to her village in Mexico. I hope she comes back for Christmas or sometime next year. So I decided to give her a card I had made. I gave her this one. And she loved it. :) She thought it was very pretty and well decorated she said. Made me happy. :) I'm gonna miss her and and the whole family doesn't understand why she has to go back! But she insists she has stuff to do back home. We will miss her until her next return, which can't come soon enuff.

I Love Sketches by Tsunami Rose! Day 35

I was told today that my dear friend Don had passed away. He was a very nice happy fellow. He always made me laugh and smile with his stories. Even tho there was an age difference of about 40 some odd years between us, we had so much in common. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to see him as often as I'd would have liked to and that I won't be able to introduce him to my husband.

I will always remember you , Don. You were more than just a passing by customer. You became a friend and you became family. I'm glad to have had the pleasure to get to know you. May we cross paths in another life, my friend. I will always remember your smile.

Today's sketch is #17

The papers are all Recollections brand. The stamp phrase comes with the AP cart.

I Love Sketches by Tsunami Rose Designs! Day 32

I won 2 more Liebster awards! I'd like to thank Abbie Kay and Rachel ! Thanks so much ladies. I appreciate you guys thinking about me! :D

This is what I'm supposed to post I guess:

The idea of the Liebster Blog Award is to spread the love from one small blog (under 200 followers) to other small blogs. This helps to spread knowledge and readership.

"Liebster" in German means "dearest", so as part of the Leibster award tradition, is to pass this award to 5 blogs that I value, that have both inspired and motivated me.
To accept the award you must do the following:

1) Link back to the persons blog who gave it you and thank them for thinking of you
2) Post the award to your blog.
3) Give the award to 5 bloggers (with less than 200 followers) that you appreciate and value.


4) Leave a comment on the blogs of the five people you have chosen to let them Know.

I get to pick 10! I don't care if the rule don't allow it. 5x2=10 I have already received this award twice before you can see the post here. I will not pick the same girls although they still super rock hard!!

I Love Sketches by Tsunami Rose! Day 31

Happy Friday, everyone! Thanks for joining me on my never ending quest to post 1 original sketch and 1 original card daily! I'm not going to write much since my carpal tunnel is acting up. Carpal tunnel is the badge of a nerd geek, and my braces are my boxing gloves. I'm going to take a nap now. My hubby said he was going to treat me to our favorite local 24 hour breakfast joint - Blueberry Hill - so I can have pancakes for lunch!!

Sketch #23



By Tsunami Rose



The image is from an old children's song book. The frame behind is is from the Art Philosophy cart, and the top right banner is from the packs of chipboard that come with the AP and I used the stamps too!! Omigosh!! The background paper is from a vintage recipe book I got at the thrift shop. I used Desert Sand by CTMH to ink the edges.


I'll post my DT pages later!

Creations Etc. Card Design Team Project #1- Tags and Frames

For my first project for the Creations Etc Card Design Team I chose to do the tags part of the project. I bought a new pack of stamps from scrapbook4less.com they are from glitzitnow.com and it's called "Laced with Grace." At $5 I thought it was a steal! The stamps are all the backgrounds on the tags, the No. 1, and the finger pointing. I love that thing. Super cute, and super versitile. I never liked stamps until about recently. When I got a real taste of good quality stamps. . . . now I'm hooked. The "Thanks You're" stamp is from CTMH Art Philosophy cart pack. I'll be making a huge order of CTMH stamps as soon as I can! The doily is from Creating is Fun, another thing I'm hooked on. The inks I used where Tim Holtz distress ink in Vintage Photo and CTMH in black. The music paper is from an old book if found at the thrift shop. Flowers are from Recollections.

Sketch #6





By Tsunami Rose



I thought I'd show you the process of making this card too. I had my camera handy.





The only thing Cricut on this is the flower that was made using the AP cart. I kept avoiding this sketch because I didn't have all the carts I used to have. I keep telling myself to think outside the Cricut box. This is what I came up with. I had fun with my inks from CTMH and my Creating is Fun Doilies.
