Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #63


Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I can't believe it's Wednesday already!  Where did the first half of the week go?  Where did most of November go?  I honestly can't believe that we're closing in on Christmas!  Some of you know I've been going through some health tests recently to see if some mysterious lumps might be breast cancer but I am so happy (and thankful) to say that yesterday the doctor confirmed that she believes we are in the clear.  I have a follow up ultrasound next month but for now, I am very relieved. I am so thankful for those praying!  What an amazing answer to prayer!  God is good!

There's a new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches!  Rita has a great new sketch for us!  I love new sketches!  This one had me stumped! I don't know why. I really wanted to use an ornament (I'm obsessed with them you know!) but I couldn't get it to look right.  I finally decided on a snowflake but in the process of trying to distress my early espresso core'dinations cardstock I scratched it...badly too...I'm so ashamed!  Heaven help me


Supplies:
Cardstock: Early Espresso Core'dinations, Very Vanilla, Champagne Glimmer
Stamps: Petite Pairs
Ink: Versamark
Other: Snow Flurry Bigz Die, 3/4" Circle punch, Basic Pearls, Dimensionals, Word Window Punch, Sanding Block, Very Vanilla Velvet Ribbon, White Embossing Powder


Okay so here's the original card I made...I should have used a different embossing folder...alas...what can one do!


Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great week!  Hop on over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to see the fabulous cards the other members of the Design Team have created for you!

Jen!

  4. Hi Jen! I like both of your cards! And I didn't even notice any scratches - it's funny how critical we are of our own cards, right? And congrats on a healthy report from your doc!
