Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #186


Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  Can you believe it's Wednesday already?!  Wow!  Where did the week go?  Where is May going?  My oldest son's 9th birthday is fast approaching.  I don't know where the time has gone!

We have had a chilly start to the week here.  We had a lovely weekend and suddenly the winds have blown in some mighty cold air.  I am looking forward to that warm summery weather coming back very soon!

We have a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  I have the privilege of being this week's hostess.  I always feel so inferior next to the talented group of ladies that I work with!  What an honour to get to create cards with these gals every week!

Yup, that's a circle you see on that sketch!  Can you believe I did that?!  I am trying to cure myself of that aversion to circles!  Actually, truth be told, I knew the sentiment I wanted to use when I came up with the sketch and knew it would fit nicely in a circle - I didn't realize my circle would turn out so big!

Supplies:
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant
Stamps: In a Big Way (Reverse Confetti)
Ink: Elegant Eggplant
Other: Big Polka Dot TIEF, Stitched Rectangles (Lil' Inkers), Circle Punch, Edge Dies (Lil' Inkers - honestly I can't remember what they're called!), Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a great week!

Please head over to the Freshly Made Sketches Blog to see the cards the Design Team has created for you!  They are amazing (as always!)!

Have a fabulous day!
Jen

  3. Not only did you give us a great sketch, but you've used a CIRCLE, and you've created this great bit of inspiration! I love the wavy line (another why didn't I think of that moment)!
