Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #510

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  It's been super cold here and we even had some snow on the ground!  Thankfully it's mostly melted.  I am hoping it stays that way for a while!  I am excited to head to the mountains on the weekend though!  There will definitely be a ton of snow there - and that's okay!!!  I'm soon going to be getting some snowshoes and I can't wait to get out and use them!

Wednesdays mean another new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing Jen Mitchell!  Jen's cards are always amazing and she creates the most beautifully simple and yet elegant cards!  Head over to her blog to check them out! 

 So I need some thank you cards!  I recently received a promotion from Norwex (I'm a consultant with them) and need so send some big thank you notes to my team for helping me out this month!  I couldn't have done it without them!  They're all in Ontario so fall cards still seem appropriate!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Bumblebee, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Brushed Metal

DSP: Harvest Meadow

Stamps: Nature's Harvest

Ink: Basic Black

Other: Harvest Dies, Sequins, Double Stitched Circles, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out all the beautiful cards the Design Team has created!  We do hope you'll join in our little change this week!  We'd love to see what you create!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #505

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  We had the most amazing weekend hiking up a mountain.  It was so incredible!  We're already planning our next one!  I honestly can't believe how beautiful our country is and I find it incredible that Alberta especially has been able to keep the parks and hiking trails looking natural.  It makes the hiking experience even more amazing!

Speaking of amazing, we have a fabulous new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the super talented Narelle Farrugia!  Narelle's cards are always so gorgeous so you need to head to her blog and check them out! 

So normally when I see circles I FREAK out!  You guys know how I feel about them!  I had just made some fall mini cards though and decided to incorporate that design into my card!  I wanted to have a couple of generic fall cards on hand to send out to some special friends!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Bumblebee, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Copper Foil

DSP: Harvest Meadow

Stamps: Beautiful Autumn, Gorgeous Leaves

Ink: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso

Other: Harvest Dies, Seasonal Layers Dies, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I do hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to check out the beautiful cards the Design Team girls have created!  You will be inspired!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #501

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  We are gearing up for a new school year here in brand new schools.  I think I'm more nervous than the kids.  I don't think I would do very well being the new kid in a school.  My introverted personality doesn't like change too much!  

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in Freshly Made Sketches' 500th sketch challenge!  We had some amazing entries and it was so fun to see everyone's cards.  We have a brand new sketch this week from the amazing Kim Singdahlsen!  Kim's cards are always so beautiful so you'll want to head over to her blog and check them out!  

Kim's sketch is pretty fun!  I had some fun playing around with different colour and paper combinations!  I am regretting not matting the patterned paper.  Not much I can do about that now!!  I pulled out my favourite sunflower die and went to town!  I wanted a fall'ish theme to this one!  I'm totally getting into the fall mood (my pumpkins are still nicely packed away but they're coming out soon)!!!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Early Espresso, Bumblebee, Garden Green, Be Dazzling Specialty

DSP: Harvest Meadow

Stamps: Itty Bitty Birthdays

Ink: Early Espresso

Other: Sunflower Dies, Tasteful Texture Embossing Folder

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the beautiful cards the Design Team have created!  I also hope you'll join in our challenge this week! 

Have an amazing day!
