Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #272
Hello!
Happy Wednesday! I hope you're having a great week so far! Can you believe that it's almost the end of January?! Where does time go? I need to start getting ready for Valentine's Day! I don't necessarily go all out but there are a few cards that need to be finished! It will be here before we know it!
We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week. Our hostess this week is the lovely Cecile Ribon! Cecile is the queen of "elements"! She always has the loveliest die cuts or sequins or whatever else on her cards! I love them! Check out her blog and you'll see exactly what I mean!
Now, I can imagine that you saw this sketch and laughed thinking "oh Jen, is going to love that"! Shockingly no one on the Design Team commented on all the circles!!! To my surprise, I knew right away what I wanted to do. I love the circle dies from Lil Inkers and couldn't wait to get those out and some of my favourite colours of cardstock.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Black
Stamps: Birthday Greetings (MFT)
Ink: Stazon
Other: Pierced Rectangle Frames (MFT), Double Stitched Circles (Lil Inkers), Stitched Flags (MFT), Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the gorgeous cards the Design Team has created for you! We can't wait to see what you come up with this week!
Have a fabulous day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #271
Hello!
Happy Wednesday! I hope you're having a great week so far! It was a super rainy day here yesterday. We don't have any snow left. As much as I don't like snow, rain in the winter seems worse. It was a dreary day so hopefully we'll have some sun today!
We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week! Our hostess this week is the incredibly talented Cindy Hall! Cindy makes beautiful cards. You need to head over to her blog and check them out!
I really do love the colours in this Carried Away DSP! It's currently available as a Sale-A-Bration item! Who doesn't like getting something free?! I used some Reverse Confetti stamps here and the "fabulous" had originally embossed with silver embossing powder. I didn't really like how it looked. As pretty as the silver is, it just didn't stand out enough so I ended up using a die to cut out the Fabulous and adding it on top. It needed a few little sequins and I called it a day!
Supplies:
Cardstock; Whisper White, Watermelon Wonder, Night of Navy, Silver
DSP: Carried Away (SU)
Stamps: You're So (Reverse Confetti)
Ink: Night of Navy
Other: Sequins (SU), You're So Confetti Cuts (Reverse Confetti), Dimensionals
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to check out the beautiful cards the Design Team has created!
Have a fabulous day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #270
Hello!
Happy Wednesday! I hope you're having a great start to your week! Our kids started back at school on Monday and though it was super nice to have them home for a couple of weeks, it was very nice to send them off to school! I was reminded today though that there are only two months before March break starts! Doesn't seem possible!
We have a great new sketch today at Freshly Made Sketches! Our lovely hostess is the amazing Kim Singdahlsen. Kim has the best stash of card making supplies! I think I would love to go and visit her and use her stuff sometime!!!
So, as you can see, I totally botched the sentiment placement on this card. Apparently I did not see it at all. Not sure what happened there. I was at my mom's house when I made this card and I guess I wasn't paying attention and missed it. Sorry about that one!
I also used all of my mom's supplies on this card and just grabbed stuff from her bins and boxes and have no idea what any of it is! Again, my apologies. All I really know is the black is Basic Black and the pink is Melon Mambo. What I do know for certain is that there is some Wink of Stella on that "xoxo"!!!
I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the amazing cards the Design Team has created for you! These ladies never cease to amaze me with their creativity!
Have a great day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #269
Hello!
I'm so sorry for the technical difficulties the other day. I was away visiting my parents and didn't bring my lap top with me. I'm not great on blogging from my iPad and just couldn't figure it out! Oh well! That's okay! I knew you would all understand! I'm back at home now (and away from all of that crazy snow!) and have my laptop so I can easily add some pictures in!
Our hostess this week at Freshly Made Sketches is Linda Callahan! Linda makes such great cards and she sure adds some spice to our team! Her sense of humour is great!!!
Please head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to check out the other fabulous cards the Design Team has created for you!
Have a great day!
