Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #479

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I completely spaced on my post today.  I usually write them the night before but a few things happened yesterday that made me think that yesterday was actually Wednesday.  My days are so mixed up.  I am hoping that at some point my brain will start working again!

We have a great new sketch today at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the incredible Kim Singdahlsen!  Kim's cards are always so beautiful and she has the most amazing collection of stamps and dies!  Head on over to her blog to check them out!

I didn't have much time to make this card.  It came down to the wire.  I was a little stressed because I couldn't quite figure out what to do.  That's what happens when you leave it to the last minute!  I wanted to use the Pierced Blooms again because honestly, I just love them!  I thought I'd make the card black, white and silver but that didn't happen.  I finally reached for a piece of the Peony Garden DSP (which is retiring soon) and I was off to the races!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic Gray, Whisper White, Silver

DSP: Peony Garden

Stamps: Many Messages

Ink: Basic Black

Other: Pierced Blooms Dies, Messages Dies, Dimensionals

Thanks again for stopping by.  I'm so sorry that I didn't get my act together sooner and get this blog post up!  I need to do better because I'm the hostess next week!  

Please head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog page and see the beautiful cards the Design Team has come up with!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #478

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a fabulous week!  We have been having the most amazing spring weather.  It's been warm and sunny!  My husband and I just got home from a very whirlwind trip out to Calgary (Alberta) to finalize a house purchase.  We take possession of our new home in May and move everyone out there in July.  Should be interesting moving two cats out there!!!  

We have an amazing new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  Our hostess this week is the amazing Captain Jen Timko!  Yup, she's now a captain AND she's the best Captain that United has!  Or at least that's my opinion!!!  I can't wait to one day get on a plane that she is captaining! 

So thankfully I knew kinda what I wanted to do as soon as I saw this sketch!!  I had someone ask me for a springy looking thank you card.  I also want to send one to the family that lives in the house we bought!   We had our inspection last Friday and they had to leave the house for about 4 hours.  I wanted to just thank them for being so accommodating!  

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green

DSP: Brights DSP Paper Pack

Other: Pierced Blooms Dies, Thank You die (Taylored Expressions), Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder, Dimenaionsl

Thanks again for stopping by today.  I hope you'll head on over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to checkout the Design Team's creations!  

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #477F

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week! I"m so glad to be back and taking part in this week's challenge at Freshly Made Sketches!  I had to take a few weeks off so we could sell our house!  I needed to keep my craft room in tip top shape and there is no way there could be any creating going on!  I'm a very messy crafter!  Thankfully our house sold in just over 24 hours so the craft room can be messed up all over again!

Our hostess this week is the amazing Jen Mitchell!  She is the queen of clean and gorgeous cards!  You'll definitely want to head over to her blog to check them out!  Jen has such a fun sketch for us this week!  Squares are almost as daunting for me as circles are!  I might has stared at this one for a while!

 I opted for the Flower and Field DSP and the Pierced Blooms because honestly, you can't go wrong with them and we all need some cheery flowers right about now!  I absolutely love these flowers!  

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight

DSP: Flower and Field

Stamps: Many Messages

Ink: Basic Black

Other: Pierced Blooms Dies, Message Dies, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to see the gorgeous cards that the girls have created!  They're all so gorgeous!

Have an amazing day!
