Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #409

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  I've been volunteering at a conference so this week has been a bit of a blur so far!!!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing and super creative Jen Mitchell!  Jen creates these gorgeous CAS cards!  I always love them!  Head over to her blog to check them out!

I knew I wanted to use this paper when I saw the sketch.  I am trying to get some Christmas cards done so thought this would work perfectly.  I used a larger piece of DSP since I wanted to capture a lot of the pattern!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Very Vanilla, Copper Foil
DSP: Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP
Stamps: Christmas Gleaming
Ink: Mossy Meadow
Other: Stitched Circle Dies (Spellbinders),  Copper Thread, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  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!!!  You won't be disappointed!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #408

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  I'm just looking out the window at my maple tree that is a blazing red!  It's so glorious!  I wish they could stay this colour all year!  Don't get me wrong, I like green trees but the red just stand out so nicely (and it's almost one of my favourite colours!).

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess is the amazing Jennifer Timko!  Jen is our resident pilot and colour artist!  I am always in awe with the gorgeous cards and projects she creates!  Head over to her blog to check them out!

I kinda know what I wanted my card to look like when I started making it.  Thankfully.  Now, looking at the picture I wish I had matted the DSP with some copper foil but I didn't and there's not much I can do about it now!!  I love this DSP from the Brightly Gleaning Specialty DSP pack.  All that copper foil makes my heart happy!  I paired with some Night of Navy cardstock and the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder and voila!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Night of Navy, Copper Foil
DSP: Brightly Gleaning Specialty
Stamps: Christmas Gleaning
Ink: Night of Navy
Other: Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder, 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 made.  You definitely will be thankful you did!  They are incredible!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #407

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I can't believe it's Wednesday already!  We had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend!  I love turkey and thoroughly enjoyed stuffing myself full of that juicy goodness!!  We had an extra long weekend since the kids and Trevor were off on Friday.  It was perfect! Nice and relaxing and we had amazing weather!  The fall leaves look so pretty when the sun shines on them!  I wish they could last forever!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the super creative Lee Ann Barrett!  Lee Ann makes such lovely cards.  You need to head over to her blog to check them out!!

Okay so this card didn't quite come together as quickly as I had wanted it to and this of course isn't the first card I made but that's okay!  I needed an anniversary card for my husband.  We celebrated our 17th anniversary on Saturday!  I can't believe it's been 17 years.  I'm not sure who deserves the medal more!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Red Foil
Stamps: Essential Sentiments (MFT),  So You
Ink: Stazon Black
Other: Heart to Heart Punch, Dimensionals

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #406

Happy Wednesday!  I trust you're having a great start to your week!  We are heading into Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada which means my brain is gearing up to spend the entire weekend standing in the kitchen!!!  We shall see how that goes.  I was recently told I have a Stage 1 bunion and what the chiropodist believes is bursitis in both feet.  Thankfully it's clearing up nicely so I'm praying that the Thanksgiving cooking doesn't put me over the edge!!!  Turkey makes everything better though right??!!!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the super creative Jacquie Southas!  Jacquie makes the most amazing clean and simple cards that look anything but simple!  She's super creative!  Head over to her blog to check them out!

I'm going to be honest.  At first when I saw those circles I thought to myself "circles are nothing, I've got this".  Well, they threw me for a loop.  Every shape and thing I tried did NOT work.  I was getting very frustrated.  There's a card somewhere downstairs with three very large acorns on it. It's very nutty looking!!!  Anyhow, I finally decided that butterflies always solve the problem so I pulled out my favourite butterfly dies from Taylored Expressions!  I then "painted" the butterflies with a little Wink of Stella because they needed a little something!!!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Kraft, Whisper White

Stamps: LJD Birthday Greetings (MFT)

Ink: Stazon Black

Other: In Flight Overlays (Taylored Expressions), Stitched Rectangles (Lil' Inkers),  Wink of Stella, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #405

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I'm so sorry that this post is late coming to you!  Normally I do my posts Tuesday evening but we were without power last night, for a LONG time and I wasn't able to get on the internet!  Anyhow, power is back, all is well and I need to get this post done!!!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing Judy Rozema!  Judy's cards are just gorgeous!  I love her design style!  It's so fun!  Head over to her blog to check it out!!!

I love the new ornaments in the Christmas Gleaming stamp set.  They are so fun to work with and I knew they would work perfectly with this sketch.  I actually made several cards with them!  I opted for some copper embossing powder in the second and third cards!  I love that powder!!  I was trying to figure out how many different cards I could make with this stamp set!!!

 

Supplies:
Cardstock:  Whisper White
Stamps: Christmas Gleaming
Ink: Basic Black
Other: Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack, Sequins, 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 create with the sketch!
