Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #228

 
Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  It's March break here in Ontario and we are currently enjoying a relaxing week with my mom and dad!  The boys are in Grannie and Papa heaven!  There is a lot of driveway hockey (when it's not raining) and some intense games of Monopoly going on here!  I'm so thankful for a Papa who loves hanging out with his boys!

We have a great new sketch today at Freshly Made Sketches courtesy of Kim Singdahlsen.  Kim is amazing.  I love Kim's creativity and she is one of the leading enablers on our team! 



I knew right away that I wanted to use the Dot Spots stamp set from PTI when I saw this sketch.  No, this giant circle didn't terrify me at all.  Maybe because it's not an entire circle!!!  I stamped the circle using Pool Party and Bermuda Bay ink.  I used some Dazzling Diamonds to add a little sparkle!  We all need a little sparkle in our lives!  Now, I put my sentiment in the wrong spot.  I feel really badly about this.  I noticed it just before I left to visit my mom and dad and didn't have time to change it!  Thankfully I'm on the most forgiving Design Team and the girls are letting me stay!!


Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Bermuda Bay
Stamps: Dot Spot (PTI), In a Big Way (Reverse Confetti)
Ink: Stazon Black, Pool Party, Bermuda Bay
Other: Dazzling Diamonds, Dimensionals


Thanks again for stopping by!  I hope you will head on over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the fabulous cards the design team has come up with!  You'll be glad you did!


Have a fabulous day!
Jen

  2. Hello Jennifer: Something weird is going on at the Freshly Made sketches challenge blog page. All it shows are the cards by the DT and at the bottom the entries but there is no link to up load cards and the whole page is like gray.
    I've tried to get to it several ways but with no luck. I wonder if any of you have noticed this so you can maybe fix it?
    I hope so because this sketch is really pretty.
    Thank you.

  4. Enabler? Me?? (tee-hee!) I love the big circle (you may fool yourself into thinking it's part of a circle, but it's a circle!) The two colors and the sparkle make it so fun for a birthday card.
