Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #707

 

Hello and Happy Wednesday!
I hope everyone has had a great start to their week so far!  We went from summer to pre-winter in about 2 days!  The mountains got some snow and they've been looking quite stately!  The golden hues have been so pretty but we seem to be quickly headed towards winter and I'm not quite ready for it yet!!!  I am escaping to my parents house in Ontario next week so I will be able to enjoy some slightly warmer weather there!!!  

We've got a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week! Our hostess this week is the amazing Judy Rozema!  Head over to her blog to check out her amazing cards!  

I had this gorgeous patterned paper sitting on my desk and I couldn't wait to use it!  I combined it with the Lovely Layers Strawberries dies from Honey Bee Stamps and called it a day!  The sentiment was sitting on my desk so I decided I would make my life easy and just use it!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, Early Espresso, Garden Green, Real Red

Patterned Paper: Wildwood Secrets (Mintay Papers)

Dies: Lovely Layers Strawberries (Honey Bee Stamps), Circle Dies (Spellbinders)

Other: Curved Everyday Sentiments (Spellbinders), Silver Foil, Glimmer Hot Foil Machine

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll join in our challenge this week!  Please head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to check out the the cards the Design Team has posted!  You will definitely be inspired!

You have until Monday at 3 PM EST to get your card entered into this week's challenge!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #580

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  We've had a few days of freezing fog.  It's a new thing for me - we didn't seem to have this in Ontario.  Basically, the temperature is below freezing and it's super foggy and then all the trees get coated with fog creating freezing fog.  It's super cool and really pretty BUT it's April and I'm done with it!

We've got a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the queen of clean cards herself, Jen Mitchell!  Jen's cards are so beautiful so head to her blog and check them out!  

Jen's sketch  might have thrown me for a loop.  I had decided that I would give the Be Bold Blooms a break (even though I didn't really want to and in hindsight probably should have used them)!  I had this basket of strawberries on my desk and decided that I would use them.  I obviously wasn't paying attention to the sketch and my panels are all the wrong size.  Sometimes I wonder about myself!

Supplies: 

Cardstock: Basic White, Real Red, Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso

Paper: Summer Lovin' Red Gingham (Simple Stories)

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Early Espresso

Other: Lovely Layers Strawberries (Honey Bee Stamps), Yana's Special Sentiments (Spellbinders), Silver Foil, Silver Sequins

A couple of photos from our hike on the weekend.  This was the steepest hike we've done.  Not the longest or the highest but definitely the steepest.  It was crazy but the view was spectacular!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge!  We always love to see all the amazing designs!

Have an amazing day!
