Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #54


Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I survived my first shift in the kindergarten room!  The class was good and I was tougher than I needed to be just so there weren't any sandwiches flying around!  The teacher has a class of 19 and 13 of them were boys!  Not sure who balanced that class!!!  We'll see how it goes on Thursday and Friday!

Wednesday's also mean a new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches!  This week the fabulous Jennifer Timko brings us a great sketch which I deviated from a little (sorry Jen!).  Jen's sketch is for a square card but I have this "thing" against square cards.  Don't ask....I'm not really sure what it is.  Same thing I feel towards circles!!!

I want to get my Christmas cards done ahead of time and it looks like they'll all be different this year!  I really do love the little Festival of Prints DSP pack.  It's so handy and I can see using it for way more than Christmas cards!  The Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder is one of my favourites.  I love it's look both for Christmas and "regular" cards!

Hop on over to the FMS blog and check out the other fantastic cards the design team has come up with!


Supplies:
Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla
DSP: Festival of Prints
Stamps: Ornament Keepsake, Petite Pairs
Ink: Versamark, Cherry Cobbler
Other: Black Embossing Powder, Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder, Basic Pearls, Holiday Ornament Framelits, Bitty Banners Framelits, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!
Jen!
