Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #513

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  Happy Thanksgiving week to my American friends!  I hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating with your families!  I also hope that everyone has a safe Black Friday!  I think I'll be avoiding the stores at all costs!  I'm not big on crowds or people!!!  

We have a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  I have the privilege of being this week's hostess!  I always find coming up with a sketch challenging but I sure love seeing each and every card that you come up with!  I kept with a simple sketch but know that you guys will knock it out of the park!

I did put a circle on there...just to try and force myself out of my comfort zone!  I need a couple of birthday cards and decided I would convert my circle to a forest of trees!  Hopefully this card could work for either a man or a woman!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic White, Basic Black. Garden Green, Evening Evergreen

DSP: Peaceful Prints

Stamps: Itty Bitty Birthdays

Ink: Garden Green

Other: Pine Woods Dies, Evergreen Dies (Taylored Expressions), Clear Droplets

Thanks so much for topping by today!  

I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the cards the Design Team has posted!  I can't wait to see what you come up with this week!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #512

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  How are we more than halfway through November?  How is your Christmas shopping going?  I'm at a complete loss this year.  My kids don't really want anything this year.  It's so weird.  I feel so behind.  I am giving myself a week to get my act together!!  We shall see!

We have a fantastic new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the fabulous and fellow mountain dweller, Kim Singdahlsen! Kim's cards are always amazing so you'll want to head over to her blog to check them out!

So I had a vision of what I wanted to do.  It was spectacular in my mind but I could not get it to work.  Sadly.  Sometimes the mojo just isn't flowing!  I need to get some Christmas cards done and this was the perfect time to tackle that job!  

I do love the poinsettia dies and opted just to use the smallest one to create my poinsettia!  I paired it with the Painted Christmas paper and some glimmer paper I had left in my stash!  

Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic White, Real Red, Silver Glimmer, Silver Foil

DSP: Painted Christmas

Stamps: Star of Light

Ink: Black

Other: Poinsettia Dies, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches page and check out the cards created by the Design Team!  You won't be disappointed!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #511

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  How is it Wednesday already?  The weeks are flying by which means Christmas is fast approaching and here I am making birthday cards instead of Christmas cards! Ski season opens here TOMORROW!  Only a few more weeks before I'm in a full body cast!!!  At least that's the joke around here!  Anyhow, the kids have tomorrow and Friday off so we're hoping to enjoy some time in the mountains - maybe!  My youngest had minor surgery on his foot on the weekend so he's still hobbling around.  He might miss out!

We have a fabulous new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess this week is the hilarious Linda Callahan!  Linda makes fabulous cards!  You need to head over to her blog and check them out!

I have a bunch of cards I need to be making and I'm super far behind!  I should be doing Christmas but I wanted to do a birthday card instead!  I can't resist the bees!  I just love them.  I will probably use them forever!  

Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic White, Basic Black

Stamps: Honey Bee, Biggest Wish

Ink: Memento Black, Daffodil Delight

Other: Detailed Bee Dies, Stitched Frame, Brick Wall Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you'll hop on over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the cards that the Design Team created for your inspiration.  You definitely won't be disappointed!  We hope you'll join in our challenge this week!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #510

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  It's been super cold here and we even had some snow on the ground!  Thankfully it's mostly melted.  I am hoping it stays that way for a while!  I am excited to head to the mountains on the weekend though!  There will definitely be a ton of snow there - and that's okay!!!  I'm soon going to be getting some snowshoes and I can't wait to get out and use them!

Wednesdays mean another new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing Jen Mitchell!  Jen's cards are always amazing and she creates the most beautifully simple and yet elegant cards!  Head over to her blog to check them out! 

 So I need some thank you cards!  I recently received a promotion from Norwex (I'm a consultant with them) and need so send some big thank you notes to my team for helping me out this month!  I couldn't have done it without them!  They're all in Ontario so fall cards still seem appropriate!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Bumblebee, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Brushed Metal

DSP: Harvest Meadow

Stamps: Nature's Harvest

Ink: Basic Black

Other: Harvest Dies, Sequins, Double Stitched Circles, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out all the beautiful cards the Design Team has created!  We do hope you'll join in our little change this week!  We'd love to see what you create!

Have an amazing day!
