Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #117

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  Can you believe there is only one more week before Christmas?  How did that happen?!  I'm not sure I'm ready yet.  Still have lots of gifts to wrap.  I guess that's part of the fun!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week courtesy of the talented Amy O'Neil!  This is our last sketch of 2013!  I can't believe how quickly this year flew by!  We have some great sketches lined up for 2014 so be prepared to be challenged!

I created one last Christmas card!  I loved the banners Amy chose to put on the sketch and took the opportunity to use more of the fabulous Winter Frost Specialty DSP.  I decided I would hand stitch with the Island Indigo Bakers Twine...maybe not one of my finest moments.  I won't even comment on how long that took me!  Oh well!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Island Indigo, Whisper White, Silver Foil
DSP:  Winter Frost Specialty
Stamps: Petite Pairs
Ink: Island Indigo
Other: Frosted Finishes Embellishments, Island Indigo Bakers Twine

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!  I may get one more card posted before the holidays but then will be taking a two week break to enjoy the holidays with my family!

I hope you and your families have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Deepest Sympathy

Hello
I hope you had a great weekend!  We had a good weekend here!  We had a ton of snow yesterday.  The boys were thrilled with it.  This afternoon they were out building forts...or at least trying to.  The snow was dry and they had a hard time but they managed to get a tunnel between our house and our neighbour's house!

Last week I made a baby card for my cousin and her sweet little boy Decklan who came rushing into this world at 31 weeks.  Unfortunately, Decklan suffered some major complications and was taken off of life support on Thursday and passed away.  Making a sympathy card for this particular occasion was hard and hopefully one I never have to do again.  

I decided to use this week's "CAS(E) this Sketch" challenge as a starting point.   I decided to incorporate some butterflies into the card as well.  I wanted to keep the card very neutral and soft.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla
DSP: Sweater Weather
Stamps: PTI
Ink: Sahara Sand
Other: Mosaics Textured Embossing Folder, Beautiful Wings Embosslit, Circle Punch, Bitty Banners Framelits,  Basic Pearls, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by.   I hope you have a wonderful week!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #116

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  Hard to believe that Christmas is TWO weeks away!  How is that even possible?! Honestly....I don't know if I will be ready.  Here I thought I was organized!  Ha!  Hopefully over the next few days I'll get everything finished up and ready to go!

We had a brand new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!   Narelle Farrugia has a fabulous sketch for us this week.  I just say that I really do love it!

My cousin Kathleen had a dear baby boy born at 31 weeks weighing a hearty 3 lbs 14 oz a week ago.  He is currently in the NICU of a hospital in London.   I wanted to make a special card to welcome Decklan into the world.  We are praying he gets stronger and healthier with each passing day.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Grey, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
DSP: Neutrals Paper Stack (Retired)
Stamps: Zoo Babies, Baby Button Bits (PTI)
Ink: Basic Grey, Daffodil Delight
Other: Basic Pearls, Itty Bitty Banners Framelits, Dimensionals

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #115

Hello!
I hope you're having a great week!  I'm sorry I've been so MIA lately.  I've found it really hard to get into my craft room over the last week.  I guess I thought that once school started (in September!) I would have more time on my hands not less!!!!

We've started the "Elf on the Shelf" tradition at our house this past weekend.  I guess we didn't start it, we just continued it this weekend.  The boys think our elf is hilarious.  I think he's rather naughty.  He sure gets into trouble and this morning Jacob discovered him taped to a wall surrounded by nutcrackers.  Jacob felt so sorry for Fiddle Faddle.  I had to remind him that Fiddle Faddle did cover all (14) nutcrackers in underwear the night before and the nutcrackers were probably just upset.  Oh the drama!

Anyhow, we have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week courtesy of our very talented Jennifer Timko!  She makes such beautiful cards and her Artisan designs are amazing!!!

I'll be honest.  I didn't do her sketch justice and I'm rather disappointed in my card.  I am still trying to get some Christmas cards done (though I should also try writing in some of the ones I do have done!).  I wanted to do something simple but I think I oversimplified it...sigh...

Supplies:
Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White
DSP: Seasons of Style
Stamps: Petite Pairs
Ink: Cherry Cobbler
Other: Basic Rhinestones, Silver Ribbon

Seize The Sketch Ornament

Hello!
Yay...it's almost Friday!!!  I'm super excited!  I love Friday nights!  They usually mean movie night at home!  The boys love a night without homework as well!  Today my hubby and I were able to have a little lunch date - which almost never happens!  It was so nice to get out for a few minutes together!

This is another card that I was able to work on yesterday while Jake was at cooking class.  I love sketch challenges.  I'm not usually the greatest at coming up with my own sketches so I'll take all the help I can get!  The ladies at Seize the Sketch have a great sketch this week and I couldn't wait to play along.

Another Christmas card...sorry!  Only a a few more weeks of Christmas cards and we'll move on!  I like to re-use my stamps (as you all know).  I know a lot of readers can't afford or choose not to buy every stamp set or even a lot of stamp sets so it's always fun to demonstrate different ways to use the same stamps.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler
Stamps: Ornament Keepsakes, Four the Holidays
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Versamark
Other: Holiday Ornaments Framelits, Basic Rhinestones, Circle Punch, Cherry Cobbler Embossing Powder, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I hope you have a fabulous day!

CAS(E) This Sketch Christmas

Hello!

Hope everyone made it through the middle of the week!  We had a bit of snow this morning and both my boys thought they had died and gone to Heaven.  Caleb asked first think if he could wear his snowpants to school!  He's hilarious!  They couldn't wait to get out of the house!  It was so cute.  Jacob came in after we sent Caleb off to school with the neighbours and announced that it was a great day for hot chocolate!  

Jacob had cooking class this after noon so I was able to spend a little time in my craft room!  I will miss these afternoons....next week is the last class!  I decided to play along with this week's CAS(E) This Sketch challenge!  

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm really far behind in my Christmas card making so I will take whatever opportunity I can at this point to see if I can get a few more done!  I realize that I won't be able to make all of them but I will give it my best try!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Midnight Muse, Silver Foil
Stamps: Festive Flurry, Petite Pairs, and the roller...who's name I can't remember!
Ink: Versamark
Other: Festive Flurry Framelits, Silver Embossing Powder, Frosted Finished Embellishments, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals

To my American friends - I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #114

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a great week!  We are expecting a bit of snow here overnight.  Nothing major though - which is good since I'm still waiting for my snow tires to make it onto my van!!!  Hopefully the temperatures will stay high enough that the snow will just melt!!!

We have a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches today!  Our hostess this week is the fabulous Linda Suarez!  She has come up with a great sketch and has created an equally beautiful card to go with it!

As I may have mentioned, I'm not making all of my own Christmas cards this year!  I just don't think I'll get it done but I'll try to make as many as I can!!!

I loved Linda's sketch and decided to use snowflakes the same way she did!  I must say I'm really enjoying the Festive Flurry stamps and dies!  They sure make Christmas card making much easier!    I also really love that wide Cherry Cobbler ribbon!  It's so fun and seems just perfect for Christmas!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Stamps: Festive Flurry, A Round Array, Petite Pairs
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Versamark
Other: Basic Pearls, Festive Flurry Framelites, Scalloped Circle Punch, Cherry Cobbler Ribbon, Dimensionals

CAS(E) This Sketch Snowflake!

Good morning!

It's not often these posts are in the morning!  I was at bootcamp last night and when I got home I was exhausted and brought my camera downstairs but remembered the battery was upstairs being charged for today's big field trip to Springridge Farm and I was just too tired to go up and get it!  I'm so lazy sometimes!

I made a quick card yesterday using this weeks sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch!  I didn't get a great picture though and I apologize!

I like clean cards and have been trying to come up with the ultimate design for the Christmas cards that I'm not sure are going to get made at this point!!!  I love Crumb Cake and Vanilla though!  What's not showing up in this picture are the dazzling diamonds on the snowflake...sigh...my photo skills leave a lot to be desired!!!!  I realize you can see the outline of the framelit...I think in hindsight I should have pierced around the edge of the snowflake given that I had the perfect template!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Stamps: Four the Holidays, Festive Flurry
Ink: Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Versamark
Other: Festive Flurry Framelits Die, Dazzling Diamonds, Vanilla Ribbon, Basic Pearls, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!  Hopefully I'll have another new card for you tonight!

Have a great day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #113

Hello!
I hope you're having a great week so far!  We survived last week without Daddy around!  It was actually much easier than I thought!  The boys were great and we celebrated Friday night by having their favourite dinner, watching Turbo (with popcorn of course) and making bracelets on the Rainbow Loom!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  The super talented Cindy Hall is our fabulous hostess!  Cindy's sketch is so versatile and the Design Team used it in so many different ways! I love it!

You may think I've lost it because I added a snowflake to a birthday card!  I didn't make a mistake!!!  I was invited to a super fun snowflake 7th birthday party for my sweet friend Paige on the weekend.  I was there to provide craft assistance for some ornaments the girls were making!  Paige's favourite colour is purple so I wanted to be sure this card was created with her in mind!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum, Whisper White, Silver Foil
Stamps: Itty Bitty Banners, Festive Flurry
Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Versamark
Other: Delicate Designs Textured Embossing Folder, Bitty Banners Framelits, Festive Flurry Framelits, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Dazzling Diamonds, Heat and Stick Powder

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #112

Hello!
Can you believe it's Wednesday already?  Where has the week gone!  Because Thanksgiving and Remembrance Day are over in Canada, we seem to be fast forwarding to Christmas as if it's next week!  I feel bombarded with songs and commercials and decorations and it feels like it was just October....what happened?  I guess I'll have to get my act together and get my shopping done and finalize some Christmas cards!

We have a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches today and I have the absolute privilege of being this week's Hostess!  I love being part of this great team and truly appreciate the support and encouragement this great group of ladies gives!

Of course because I've got Christmas on the brain, I decided to go with a Christmas card!  Go figure!  I wanted to do traditional red and white!  I love red....it's got to be my favourite colour (though if you asked my son Jacob he would say pink)!

You can't tell in this picture but the snowflakes have Dazzling Diamonds on them to give them a bit of glitter!  I should have re-taken the picture I suppose!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White
DSP:  Season of Style
Stamps: A Round Array, Mixed Medley
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Versamark
Other: Stripes Textured Embossing Folder, Scalloped circle punches, circle punch, Dazzling Diamonds, Heat and Stick Powder, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals

Snowflake Day!

Hello!
A quick Sunday night post!  I had a few minutes (really, only a few minutes) to create a couple of cards this afternoon.  I had a vision in my mind of a card I wanted to create and decided to a couple in different colour combinations!  I think this maybe be "the card".  It's not exciting but it's simple and really, I'm a simple girl!

I started with the white background/red snowflake (below).  I must say, I do love a clean white background!  I moved onto the black and red after that!

I am not sure how I feel about brown and gold - though I must say they are usually my favourite colour combination!  I think it might be because I had to use pearls instead of jewels.

I finished with the blue and silver....I do love blue and silver as well!!!

These cards didn't take long to create which is the kind I like these days!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Midnight Muse, Early Espresso, Red Glimmer, Champagne Glimmer, Silver Foil
Ink: Versamark, Real Red
Stamps: Four the Holidays
Other:  Snowflake Punch, Silver Embossing Powder, Gold Embossing Powder, Basic Rhinestones, Basic Pearls, Dimensionals

Hope you have a fabulous week!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #111

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  We have had a good start to our week.  It's going to be quiet here the rest of the week.  I am so looking forward to it!

This week we have a fabulously fun sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches brought to us by the creative Linda Callahan!  You will not only love her sketch but you need to head over to her blog and check out her amazing card!  I love it!

Now that Halloween is done, I need to get my act together and get serious about Christmas card making!  I don't actually decorate until after Remembrance Day out of respect but Christmas cards are fair game all year round though!

I think will love the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set forever!  I used Cherry Cobbler ink but threw some clear embossing powder on top just to add a little extra punch.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler
Stamps: Ornament Keepsakes, Bright Hopes
Ink: Versamark, Cherry Cobbler
Other: Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies, Basic Rhinestones, Stylish Stripes Textured Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

CAS(E) This Sketch Wedding

Hello!
Happy Monday!  It's been a crazy day here!  We had a good weekend.  It was fairly quiet and we spent a lot of time together at home.  Sometimes I wonder why we fill our schedule when staying at home is so relaxing and seems to be just what we all needed.

We attended a wedding on Saturday evening and I needed to create a card for the wedding.  This friend of mine is Asian and I wanted to make her a traditional red card to honour her Chinese heritage.

I really liked the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch this week.  It allowed me to maximize my use of red!!!

I do love scrunched flowers!  I probably use them too much but they're so fun!  I used the Scalloped Circle Punch and one of the flowers from the Boho Blossoms punch.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla
Stamps: Love and Laughter, En Francais
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake
Other: Mosaic Textured Embossing Folder, Lace, Modern Label Punch, Basic Pearls, Boho Blossoms Punch, Scalloped Circle Punch, Dimensionals

Seize the Sketch Sympathy

Hello!
Hope you are having a great week so far!  Tomorrow (Thursday) Jacob has his Halloween Parade at school.  The Kindergarten students parade around the first level of the school in their costumes.  It is just too cute!!!

I had a few minutes this afternoon while Jacob was at cooking class to craft it up!  I needed a sympathy card for a friend who's grandmother passed away over the weekend.    The sketch at Seize the Sketch was just perfect!

I used decided that I wanted to use Basic Grey and Daffodil Delight on this card.  I used the Thanks for Caring stamp set (retired) and then combined it with some Polka Dot Parade Paper and a woodgrain background!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Grey, Smoky Slate, Whisper White
DSP: Polka Dot Parade
Stamps: Thanks for Caring

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #110

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  It's been a good week so far! I can't believe that Halloween is tomorrow!  Our pumpkins are carved and ready to go!  Batman and Robin are super excited to get suited up for their big night out!  The weather here is calling for rain...lots of rain but warmer temperatures which is not the greatest but I would rather a warm rain than a cold rain!

We have a new sketch today at Freshly Made Sketches!  Rita Wright is our fabulous hostess this week! Head on over to her blog and check out her recent creations!

I really liked Rita's sketch!  I am actually thinking I'll make some Christmas cards using this sketch but I needed a thank you card for a friend of mine and her daughter!  I recently acquired my first "Rainbow Loom" bracelet and feel that a thank you card is required for its 7 year old creator!

I do love hexagons and Caitlin's favourite colours is purple so I decided to mix the two together!  I combined the colours from this week's Dynamic Duos challenge sine they were just perfect!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Perfect Plum, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White
Stamps: Six Sided Sampler
Ink: Wisteria Wonder, Perfect Plum
Other: Hexagon Embossing Folder, Hexagon Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals

CAS(E) This Sketch Christmas

Hi!
I was able to sneak into the craft room for a few minutes this afternoon while Caleb was at school and Jacob was at cooking class!  It really was only a few minutes as I was the cooking class driver today!  Jacob and a van full of girls!  He loved every second!  What a ladies man....I'm getting scared!

I haven't had a chance to create much lately and wanted to get a card created for this week's CAS(E) This Sketch challenge.   I saw this sketch and knew immediately I wanted to use the new Christmas star!

I love black and silver cards! I know they're not truly traditional but I wanted to see how it looked!  I had created another card a few weeks ago using blue and silver....I decided to recreate it in black!

The blue card was made using Silver Glimmer cardstock which honestly doesn't stick that well.  The black card was created using the silver foil sheets - WAY better!!!!

I do love the new Christmas Star single stamp!  The best thing is that right now it's on sale at Stampin' Up!  25% off!!!!  Stock up now while you can!

Supplies:

Card #1

Cardstock: Basic Black

Stamps: Christmas Star, Four the Holidays

Ink: Versamark

Other: Silver Foil Sheets, Silver Embossing Powder, Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals

Fab Friday on Wednesday!

Hello!

Even though I got a few minutes in my craft room I didn't accomplish anything...sadly!  I have been feeling very unmotivated lately and just couldn't come up with something to create!  I had the pleasure of making a really fun 4th birthday candy bouquet this past weekend - photo posted way below!  It felt fun to make something different from a card!

I had made a card for this week's Fab Friday challenge a while ago but kept forgetting to bring my camera downstairs to download the picture!
