Freshly Made Sketches #93

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I can't believe it's Wednesday already!  Having a holiday long weekend sure is making this week fly by!  Caleb is attending a Karate camp every morning this week and Jacob is at my parents for the week.  He is having the time of his life.  This is his first time away from mom for more than 2 days!  You aren't going to be seeing too many cards from me for the next two weeks.  I am elbow deep in preparations for our church's summer camp next week.  A friend and I are running the Card Making Elective...needless to say I'm trying to prepare cards and other projects for 30 very excitable kids every day!

So...enough about me!  Alissa Chilton (don't you just LOVE her cards?!) has created a fabulous sketch for us over at Freshly Made Sketches.  I found it a lot trickier than I thought I would.  That square was hard to work with.  I don't have a lot of stamp sets that work in squares so I had to make something work!

I really do love the new Cycle Celebrations.  I couldn't wait to use this cute little bike.  I discovered that it fit perfectly in this square.  I decided to emboss it in silver so it stood out on the DSP.
I decided to combine this week's sketch with this weeks' Dynamic Duo challenge.  The colour challenge this week was Basic Grey and a colour of my choice - Daffodil Delight!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Grey, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
DSP: Quatrefancy Specialty DSP
Stamps: Cycle Celebrations
Ink: Basic Grey, Versamark
Other: Daffodil Delight Seam Binding, Silver Embossing Powder, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by this week!  I hope you have a great day!  Please take a moment to check out the Freshly Made Sketches blog to see the beautiful cards the design team has created for you!

Retro Sketches Challenge!!!

Hello!
It was a lovely day here...but busy!  Jacob and I got lots done and best of all - my Project Life order FINALLY arrived!  I must thank Tammy Morales over at Scrapbookers Inner Circle for all of her help!  I snuck in a few minutes this afternoon and put some of my beautiful new Honey Core Kit cards into the pages.  I can't wait for the next few weeks to be done so I can give this album some full attention!

I decided to tackle this week's Retro Sketches challenge.  I'm not overly sold on my card but I wanted to use the new Cycle Celebration stamp set.  Of course I had to use that Quatrefancy DSP again...sorry about that.  I'll try and stay clear of that for my next card!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Whisper White
DSP: Quatrefancy Specialty DSP
Stamps: Cycle Celebration
Ink: Island Indigo, Strawberry Slush
Other: Strawberry Slush Ribbon, Decorative Label Punch, Glitter, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you have a great day!!!
