Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #260

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  I have had an exciting start to the week.  It was Harvest University at our church here in Canada.  I was able to work with the volunteers and make sure we had people helping out where we needed them.  Such a fun time! I love getting to know new people!  I also had the opportunity to help a set of parents out from Grand Olive, Michigan and watch their sweet little princess.  Snuggliest baby I have ever held!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing Kim Singdahlsen.  Kim is one of the most creative people I know.  Her cards and projects are just fabulous.  Head over to her blog and check them out!

I haven't felt very creative lately.  I don't get to spend as much time in my craft room as I would like so when I'm there I often feel rushed and pressured to get a card done.  I'm hoping in the near future to spend some extra time in there!  I think I'll have to force myself to!!!  This card took forever to make.  I do love the jar set though.  It's really fun to play with!  Of course the flowers and fish are coated in Wink of Stella!  I couldn't help myself!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Pool Party, Whisper White, Basic Black
DSP: A Little Foxy DSP Stack
Stamps: Jar of Love, In A Big Way (Reverse Confetti)
Ink: Pool Party, Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango, Mint Macaron, Smokey Slate, Versamark Silver, Stazon Black
Other: Everyday Jar Framelits, Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Wink of Stella, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping in today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the amazing creations the Design Team has posted!  You will be amazed!!!!  I love working with this creative group!

Have a fabulous day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #259

Hi!
Hope you're having a great week so far!  We have had some great weather here.  You'd almost think it was summer!  The leaves on the trees are beautiful and with the gorgeous sunshine it's amazing!  I guess this is why I love fall!!!

Today we have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the super talented Linda Callahan!  Linda makes such fun cards!  I love them!  You'll have to head over to her blog and check them out!

Now, there is a big ol' circle on this card.  Circles aren't as scary these days but overall I struggled to come up with a fabulous idea for this card.  My craft room is a disaster and will soon be torn apart to do some repairs so I'm feeling less than creative!

I do love my pineapple stamps from Concord & 9th.  I decided that they would work for this card!  I started with just a plain white background but it was too boring so I added some embossed polka dots!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Melon Mambo
Stamps: Pop Art Pineapple
Ink: Versamark, Melon Mambo
Other: Pop Art Pineapple Dies, Double Stitched Circles, Wink of Stella, Basic Rhinestones, Polka Dot Textured Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #258

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  We celebrated Thanksgiving here in Canada this past weekend.  We are still enjoying some delicious turkey!  Tomorrow will be Turkey soup!  I can't wait!!!  Today however is a very special day at our house.  My husband and I are celebrating our 14th anniversary!  It's funny how that happened because I'm pretty sure I'm just 25 which means I must have gotten married awfully young!!!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is our colouring Queen, Rita Wright!  Head over to Rita's blog and see the magic she works with ink and markers!

I knew I needed to make an anniversary card with this sketch.  Our wedding colours were raspberry and gold and I wanted to tie that in.  I originally wanted to put a maple leaf on but the leaf I had was far too big.  I opted for an oak leaf because we refer to my husband as an oak tree and my youngest son as an acorn!  I figure this card truly reflects our family!  As I look at this picture here, I realize that both acorns were stamped on Whisper White instead of Very Vanilla!  Oops!  Hope my husband doesn't notice!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Whisper White, Gold Glimmer
Stamps: Acorny Thank You, Autumn Acorn Stamps (PTI)
Ink: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake
Other: Autumn Accents Bigz Die, Acorn Punch, Acorn Die (PTI), Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  Pepsi is adjusting very well to life here and you'd think she'd been here her whole life!  Sometimes I wonder if she's a dog!  Let's just say gracefulness isn't her strong suit!!  The kids sure love her though and she loves it when they get home from school and play with her!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the talented and extremely creative Jen Mitchell!  Jen creates beautiful cards and tags!  You'll want to head over to her blog to check it out!  We also have a great new look at the Freshly Made Sketches blog so make sure you get over there to check it out!

I didn't really know what to do this week for a card.  I decided a Christmas card would be in order.  I started with one colour theme and then ended up with navy and silver.  I tired to be different but I just couldn't do it!  You can all be thankful it's not black and white!!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Night of Navy, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer, Silver
Stamps: Star of Light
Ink: Versamark
Other: Silver Embossing Powder, Silver Sequins, Starlight Thinlits, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals
