It's time for the new Monthly Challenge at Whimsie Doodles, and we've got a fun and easy themed challenge for you this month...

There are so many super cute fall images to choose from in the Whimsie Doodles Store. This cute squirrely one I've used is called Nuts About You, and can be found here. It's colored with Copics, and paired with some fall-ish colored papers from the DCWV Basics 6x6 Stack. I've paper-pierced a border around the image, and embellished with a button tied with jute. Simple and sweet!

It's sketch time at Tuesday Morning Sketches! We have a fantastic sponsor for this week's sketch... Doodle Pantry is joining us!!

     

Doodle Pantry has loads of cute freebies, and the one I've used today is called Snowman Cheer.

I've mucked up the sketch a bit... once again, I printed my image too large, and had a tough time fitting all of the elements of the sketch onto the card. At least my little snowman turned out super cute! :)

      

   

Copics:

Hat - T7, T6, T5, T3, T1

Vest - R89, R39, R85, R83

This time of year, my creations are all over the place... Halloween, Fall, Christmas, Winter... it all jumbles together! I can't seem to focus on just one season or holiday!

   

Today, I have a sweet winter-y card to share using a new Whimsie Doodles image called Bulidng a Buddie. It can be found in the What's New section of the Whimsie Doodles Store. I've colored it with Copics, and added glitter to the ground and sky for a snowy look. It's finished off with some stitching and a few snowflake shaped buttons.

Happy Tuesday sketch fans! I'm back after taking last week off to share the latest Tuesday Morning Sketch with you!

      

   

A pretty simple sketch this week, but we're also including a twist... use FANCY DIES! Yikes! That is where my struggle began... I have very few dies in the square-ish variety, and they are certainly not what I would consider fancy! But, I made do with what I've got...

       

This cute little guy is part of the new Gingy's Christmas Kitchen set from C.C. Designs. He's colored with Copics, fussy cut, and popped up in a frame created with my Spellbinders Labels 16 die (the closest to a "fancy" die I have!), and one of my Circle Nestabilities. I smothered those gumdrops in glitter, but I just can't capture the sparkle on camera!

    

    

Copics:

Gingy - E35, E34, E31, E30

Nose - R27, R24, R22, R20, R000

Purple Gumdrop - V17, V15, V12, V01

Blue Gumdrop - B04, B02, B00, B000

Green Gumdrop - YG17, YG25, YG03, YG01

      

Our generous sponsor this week is StampingScrapping... if you want a chance to win the prize, don't forget to include the twist!

Now head on over to the Tuesday Morning Sketches Blog for some AMAZING inspiration from the Design Team!
