Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #39



Hello!
I hope you all are having a great start to your week!  Is it possible that it's Wednesday already?!  Seriously, where does the time go!  I spent my morning yesterday being "pampered" and then photographed by the lovely and very talented Heidi Ram.  She is a fabulous (and VERY patient) local photographer who is starting a new endeavour with mom's!  I got to be a guinea pig for her today!  You can check out her blog here!

Okay that aside, today is Wednesday!  That means there is a new sketch on Freshly Made Sketches from another talented lady - Jen Mitchell! Did you know there are 4 Jen's on our FMS design team?!



Jen's sketch challenged me for a while.  Not really sure why.  Then I remembered I needed to make an 80th birthday card for the father in law of a dear friend of mine.  I love the new Clockworks stamp set.  It's masculine and works great for men of all ages!  Maybe I'll start using that instead of "The Open Sea"!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Midnight Muse
DSP: Comfort Cafe
Stamps: Clockworks, Itty Bitty Banners
Ink: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Midnight Muse
Other:  Bitty Banners Framelits Die, Timeless Type Sizzlets, Argyle Textured Embossing Folder

Thanks for Stopping by!
Have a great day!
Jen
