Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #566

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope everyone is having a great week so far!  How's your Christmas shopping coming along? Are you done yet?  I have one gift left to buy which the boys and I will go out and get on Friday night.  I am thankful to be one. I have the gifts that I have so far wrapped.  I wanted to get ahead of the game so I started early and plugged away at it!  Now I can focus on some baking!  I did some shortbread cookies yesterday and a batch of chocolate peanut butter cookies (they're not really Christmassy but my youngest loves them and always gets them at Christmas!).

We've got a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is our favourite Aussie Narelle Farrugia!  If you haven't checked out Narelle's cards you need to run and do it now!  You need to head to her blog and check out those beautiful creations!  Narelle and I have the goal to climb a mountain together one day.  Okay, Narelle will be driving a car and I'll be walking but we'll make it to the top together at some point!!!

I knew what I wanted to use the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers Mums Honey Cuts on this card.  I had to be fairly liberal with the sketch!  I tried to make these dies work as best I could!  Sorry Narelle!!!  These mums are so pretty and I had so much fun creating them!  One colour of cardstock and a lot of ink!!!  I used my Glimmer machine to create that pretty sentiment!  Hot foil is my new favourite thing!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight

Ink:  Blushing Bride, Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, Granny Apple Green

Other: Lovely Layers Mums Honey Cuts (Honey Bee Stamps), Just Wanted to Say Glimmer Hot Foil Plate (Spellbinders), Rose Gold Foil, Jewels, Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #565

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  We are in some weird weather right now. It was -23 (feeling like -33) Celsius yesterday and it's supposed to go up to 0 today.  Plus it's snowing.  Until we moved out here I'd never really seen it snow when it was so cold. Gotta love winter in the mountains!

We've got a fantastic new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  Our hostess this week is our favourite New Zealander Karren Johnson!  Karren's cards are always gorgeous and she sure has a way with colouring!!!  Head over to her blog to check them out!  

I really love poinsettia's but can't have them anymore because I our one cat would totally eat it!  She LOVES plants! I will use them on my cards and pretend their plants in our house!  I pulled out some retired DSP and went to work!  No foiling on this card!  I am still waiting on some plates to arrive so I'm limited in what I can use right now!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic White, Real Red, Basic Black, Silver Foil

DSP: Heartwarming Hugs (SU)

Stamps: Petite Pairs (SU)

Ink: Basic Black

Other: Poinsettia Dies (SU), Subtle Texture Embossing Folder (SU), Stitched So Sweetly Dies (SU)

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #563

Hello! Happy Wednesday!  Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends! I hope all have an amazing weekend celebrating!  Are you ready for Black Friday?  I am going to try and get most of my shopping done before the weekend and I'm hoping I've made my last trip to a mall!  I am not a big fan of crowds of people so I will avoid all stores this weekend!

We've got a brand new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  I am fortunate to be your hostess this week!  I do love when you get to go through each card and comment!  I love to see all the different takes and I love getting to know you better - especially when you post pics of your fur babies!  

I of course am still trying to get some Christmas cards done and really love playing with my hot foil machine.  My issue is that I only have a couple of plates and the ones I ordered didn't quite make it for some reason.  Don't ask.  I saw a Christmas card recently that had a wreath on it made of different foliage (this was a Hallmark card - not a handmade one) but I knew I could use that idea for my card!  I made a silver circle using the hot foil machine.  It doesn't show up too great in the picture though.  I added some foliage and a baby poinsettia and I was off to the races!  I threw on the same sentiment I used last week because that silver looks so pretty on the dark green!  

Supplies
Cardstock: Hammermill White, Shaded Spruce, Soft Succulent, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red

Other: Silver Foil (Spellbinders), Nested Circles (Pink Fresh), Christmas Mailbox Greetings (Spellbinders), Poinsettia Dies (SU), Pretty Pine Thinlits (SU), Basic Rhinestones (SU), Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge!  The Design Team has some amazing cards posted that you'll love!

We definitely can't wait to see what you create this week!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #562

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  How's your Christmas card making and Christmas shopping coming along?  If you're visiting from the US you might not start anything until after Thanksgiving.  I put out my Christmas village on the weekend and have a few little decorations out but won't do anything too major until the weekend - maybe!  The snow helps it to feel more Christmassy than it ever did in Ontario where we'd often have green Christmases!

We're got a brand new sketch today at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the super creative Kim Singdahlsen!  If you want to see some super cute cards then you need to head over to her blog and check them out!  

I went with another Christmas card because I'm behind.  I don't send out near as many as I used to - hardly any at all actually but I wanted to try and get a few done regardless!  I had seen a few Christmas cards done with the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers Anemone and I thought I would give it a try.  Not sure how I feel about it but it's supposed to be festive!  I've heard hot foiling can be tricky on coloured cardstock so I was a little nervous but it worked like a charm.  Could I duplicate it?  Probably not!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White, Shaded Spruce, Silver Foil

Ink: Shaded Spruce

Other: Lovely Layers Anemone (Honey Bee Stamps), Softly Falling Embossing Folder (SU), Christmas Mailbox Greetings Hot Foil Plate (Spellbinders), Silver Foil

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge this week!  There are some amazing cards there already!  I think the Design Team did an incredible job on their cards this week!

Have a fabulous day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #561

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I'm bringing you this card from the North Pole - or so it feels like! We've had a pile of snow and it's been crazy cold!  The overnight temperature was -28 feeling like -36!  Oh so fun!  Today is supposed to be the last day of the crazy cold though.  Hopefully it's warmed up a bit by tomorrow!  This cold, snowy weather seems so early but it does get you in the Christmas mood! 

We've got a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing Linda Callahan!  Linda's cards are always fabulous so you need to head over to her blog and check them out!  

I am in desperate need of Christmas cards so I knew I needed to knock another one off the list!  I hauled out my Poinsettia Dies and some older Christmas DSP and went to town!  I added in some bits and bobs (as my friend Donna would say) from other die sets and voila!  A Christmas card is born!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic White, Real Red, Garden Green, Silver

DSP: Painted Christmas (SU)

Stamps: Happy Scenes (SU)

Ink: Basic Black, Real Red

Other: Blending Brushes (Taylored Expressions), Poinsettia Dies (SU), Stitched So Sweetly Dies (SU), Pretty Pines (SU), Dimensionals

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #560

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  We are currently getting hit with a snowstorm and some much cooler temperatures BUT we had a beautiful fall so I guess I can't really complain.  I'd say the snow is pretty but it's not.  It's just cold and wet and miserable!!!  I put the fall decorations out but will wait until after Remembrance day to get out anything remotely Christmas related!

We have a fantastic new sketch up at Freshly Made Sketches!  After a bit of a break I'm happy to get back into the swing of things!  Our hostess this week is the Queen of Clean cards herself - Jen Mitchell!  If you want to see what I mean, head over to her blog and check them out! 

Jen's sketch threw me at first because of that glaring circle sitting in the middle but I might have received some funds to put towards a new Glimmer Hot Foil machine and I also grabbed some hot foil plates that would work perfectly for this card!  The hot foil can be a bit persnickety (okay - it can be a lot persnickety) but it cooperated for me on this card.  I probably couldn't recreate it even if I tried!

Supplies:
Cardstock: White (Hammermill Cover Stock), Basic Black

Other: Gold Foil (Spellbinders), Twilight Sparkle Strip (Spellbiners), Christmas Mailbox Greetings,  (Spellbinders), Poinsettia Dies (SU)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #557

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a good week!  We're still basking in the sunshine here and I will totally enjoy every minute of it!  The leaves have been beautiful and the views from our latest hike were incredible!  I'll post some photos below!  The mountain is called The Fortress and man it was tough but so amazing once we made it to the top!  My husband and I are also celebrating our 20th anniversary today!  I can't believe it's been 20 years!  Time flies!

We've got a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess this week is Jacquie Southas!  Jacquie creates amazing cards and the one she's made this week is just incredible!  Head over to her blog to check it out!  

So the mojo definitely isn't flowing this week.  I had several different cards in mind but I tried to "get them down on paper" and that did not work.  I decided I would work with some plaid paper and add some leaves in - voila!  A fall'ish card!  Hoping the mojo decides to make an appearance at some point this week!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic White, Rich Razzleberry, Mango Melody

DSP: Plaid Tidings

Other: Intricate Leaves Dies (SU), Stitched So Sweetly Dies (SU), Bitty Buzzwords Honey Cuts(Honey Bee Stamps)

Thanks so much for stopping by today! 
I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge!  We would love to see what you come up with!  The Design Team has some great cards posted to inspire your creativity!

Enjoy the views from The Fortress!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #556

Happy Wednesday!  

I hope you're having a great start to the week!  We've been having the most beautiful weather here!  Last year about this time it was much cooler and we had snow on Thanksgiving weekend.  We've had beautiful sunshine and and warm temperatures and we will totally take it all in!  The warm weather has lengthened our hiking season which is amazing!  We did an incredible one last weekend.  We hiked up Mount Sparrowhawk which was our first 10,000 footer!  It was a grind but oh so amazing!  Check out the view below!  

We've got a fantastic sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is our colour guru Amy O'Neill!  Amy's cards are always so pretty!  Head over to her blog to check out her creativity! 

If I said this was my first rendition of this sketch, I would totally be lying.  Same if I said it was the second or third rendition!  Seriously, this one almost did me in!  Honestly.  Sometimes the mojo just isn't flowing!

I had this bear sitting on my desk and I happen to love a sweet grizzly so I knew I would have to make a card around him!  I had this fall paper still sitting out and decided I wanted to use it up while it was still fall!  Voila!  Card is made!  It's definitely not my favourite but I wanted a more masculine card!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Soft Suede, Garden Green, Wild Wasabi, Basic White

Paper: Plaid Fever (Echo Park)

Stamps: Little Birthday Notes (MFT)

Ink: Basic Black

Other: Woodland Silhouettes 2 (Taylored Expressions), Pine Woods Dies (SU), Double Stitched Circles (Lil Inkers), Tasteful Label Dies, Dimensionals

 

We met a couple of people on the summit - all previously from Ontario who offered to take our picture!  So nice to have a pic that isn't a selfie!

The incredible view from the top!

Sometimes you encounter wild animals!  These are mountain sheep.  They are generally easy going - if they're female but these moms had babies with them.  We kept our distance but the herd was blocking the trail so we had to bang our hiking poles together to get them to move along!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you will head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in this week's challenge!  We always love seeing the amazing cards that get entered in the challenge each week!  We definitely have a creative group that participates!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #555

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  We're halfway through the week already!  We are having some beautiful (and not very Alberta like) fall weather this week!  It's actually been more like summer!  I will take this warmth and sunshine as long as I can!  Trust me!  It's so lovely!  

We've got a brand new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our favourite Aussie is hosting this week!  Narelle Farrugia makes the most gorgeous cards!  Fussy cutting, blends and flowers are for sure her specialty so head over to her blog to check them out!  

This is not at all the card I had in mind when I saw this sketch!  I still want to make what I had in mind (and probably should have from the start) but I decided to try something else.  This card took me forever with several changes and I'm still not thrilled with it.  Card making is quite the process isn't it?!  

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic White, Basic Black, Real Red, Poppy Parade, Basic Grey, Garden Green

Stamps: Bitty Buzzwords (Honey Bee Stamps)

Ink: Basic Black, Poppy Parade, Real Red, Garden Green

Other: Bitty Buzzwords Honey Cuts (Honey Bee Stamps), Lovely Layers Wildflowers (Honey Bee Stamps), Double Stitched Circle Dies (Lil Inkers), Stitched So Sweetly Dies (SU), Sequins (Taylored Expressions)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll join in our challenge this week.  We always love to see what you come up with!  

Head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the cards that the Design Team has posted!  Hopefully they'll inspire you!

I thought I'd share our most recent hike - We hiked up Cirque Peak just past Lake Louise (around Bow Lake).  It started out raining, changed to sun, then a freak snow storm while we hit the summit so we couldn't see anything and then an hour later, beautiful sunshine again!  You win some and you lose some!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #554

Hello!
Happy Wednesday! I hope you're having a great week so far!  Fall has hit hard here with very cool temperatures!  The mountains have snowy peaks (which honestly makes them look prettier) and so begins the deep spiral into winter!!!  Okay, we've got some time to go before that but you can tell summer is definitely over!

We've got a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess this week is the amazing Karren Johnson!  Karren's cards are always fabulous and you definitely want to head over to her blog and check out her card for this week!  

I loved Karren's sketch this week!  My husband notified me that our neighbour's birthday was yesterday!  I decided to whip up a birthday card for her.  I was going to go fall themed but the Lovely Layers Peonies were just crying my name!  I know there probably aren't peonies this colour but they really did strike me as pretty!

I might have used a LOT of dimensionals making this card so it's very thick and you probably wouldn't want to send this through the mail.  Thankfully I was hand delivering it!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic White, Bermuda Bay, Costal Cabana, Pool Party, Granny Apple Green

Stamps: Bitty Birthday Wishes (MFT)

Ink: Basic Black, Bermuda Bay, Costal Cabana, Pool Party, Granny Apple Green

Other: Lovely Layers Peony Honey Cuts (Honey Bee Stamps), Sweetly Stitched Dies (SU), Elegant Sequin Mix (Honey Bee Stamps)

I wanted to include the view from the top of Cascade Mountain in Banff, Alberta!  My husband and I hiked up this beast on Saturday!  We were so fortunate to get a clear, smoke free day!  The weather was a little chilly but it was perfect for hiking!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge!  There are some amazing cards posted by the Design Team!  They are gorgeous!  You will definitely be inspired!

I hope you have a fantastic day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #553

Happy Wednesday!  

I hope you're having a great week!  Fall has been in the air a few times over the last week!  The mountains got snow which means our turn is just around the corner!  I'm not quite ready for that yet!  I could use a bit more summer but now that the house is decorated for fall I'm totally ready to embrace it!  

We've got a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess this week is our favourite French designer Cecile Ribon!  She is the queen of amazing diecuts so head over to her blog and check out her gorgeous creations!  

I loved Cecile's sketch and had to try a few things to find a combo of elements I was good with!  I wanted a fall card but this isn't the card I made first!  That's the one you'll see below!  This was my second card!  I love fall cards but struggled to get the placement of the leaves just right.  The perfectionist in me wanted to give up but I'm learning to just let some things go!  A few things anyhow!  

Supplies:

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Gold Foil

Stamps: Give Thanks (Concord & 9th)

Ink: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake

We've got a new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  I am your hostess this week and I hope you like my sketch and will join in and play along with us!  I always love seeing each one of your cards!

I wanted to do a fall card.  This isn't exactly what I had in mind but I definitely love the colours!  That gold is one of my favourites for fall!  I bought this paper at our local scrapbook store a couple of weeks ago and couldn't wait to use it!

Patterned Paper: Plaid Fever and Falling for Fall (both from Echo Park Paper)

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #551

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you are having a great start to your week!  Have your kids or grandkids gone back to school yet?  My youngest goes back tomorrow and my oldest on Friday.  As much as I'm ready for routine and a little bit more alone time, I have really enjoyed the summer this year!  My oldest got his license on Friday so he's excited to have a bit more freedom.  I'm not quite sure I'm ready for this yet! My youngest got his learners on Friday as well so we're all in to the driving scene!  My youngest is only 14 so it's a little crazy to think the province will let him drive!! Pray for us!!!

We've got a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the incredibly talented Kim Singdahlsen!  You need to head over to her blog and check out her beautiful cards!  

I picked up this adorable snowman die from Lawn Fawn on the weekend!  I just loved him!  There's a her as well!  I can't wait to make a bunch of snowmen!  My youngest came in and told me I was crazy making snowmen in the summer!!  I probably am but they were just too cute to resist!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Blushing Bride

Stamps: Christmas to Remember

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #549

Hello!

Happy Wednesday! I hope you're having a great week so far!  We're on vacation this week and we were supposed to be spending this week with my family in Ontario but due to the craziness of the airports right now and the very good chance that our flight home would be significantly delayed or cancelled we opted to postpone our trip to another time.  We're having a staycation here instead.  Monday we headed to Canmore for the most amazing golf game.  Yesterday my husband and I hiked up the most incredible ridge  (there are 7 peaks on this ridge and we were able to accomplish 6 of them!) and today we're heading into Banff and we're going to bike back to Canmore!  Can't wait to see this trail! 

 

It's Wednesday (I think) and we've got a fabulous new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing Jen Timko!  Jen's cards are always so beautiful and she inspires me to be a better card maker!  Head over to her blog to check out her cards!  

I knew what I wanted to do for this card and was super excited to work with my sunflower dies again!  My neighbours have a sunflower garden out front and it's the cheeriest thing!  I just love seeing those little waving yellow heads!  

Supplies:

Cardstock: Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Copper Foil

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Garden Green

Other: Lovely Layers Sunflowers Honey Cuts (Honey Bee Stamps), Bitty Buzzwords Honey Cuts (Honey Bee Stamps), Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #548

Hello and happy Wednesday!

I hope you're having a good week so far!  I know that for my US friends some of those kids are gearing up to head back to school (actually I think some might have already started).  We are still embracing summer here and since our summer is so short I'm not at all ready for fall to come!  You know it's around the corner though when the fall, Halloween and Christmas decorations are in Costco!!!

We've got a fabulous new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches today!  Our hostess today is the fabulous Jacquie Southas!  Jacquie makes the most fabulous cards (and her card today is no exception) so head over to her blog and check them out!  

I really loved Jacquie's sketch this week!  It's wide open for interpretation and was super easy to work with!  Best of all - no circles!!!  I will never complain about that!!

I was pretty excited to use my Lovely Layers Wildflowers from Honey Bee Stamps!  We have been able to see the wild flowers in full bloom in the mountains lately and they are so beautiful!  I knew I needed to use this set on my card this week!  These poppies are so pretty and I can see myself using these lots in the future!!!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic White, Basic Black, Real Red, Poppy Parade, Silver, Garden Green

Stamps: With Sympathy (Honey Bee Stamps)

Ink: Real Red, Garden Green, Versafine Black

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #547

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I can't believe it's Wednesday already!  We had a beautiful long weekend here so I feel like I'm a day behind!  We went and checked out a gorgeous glacier on the weekend.  I was a fantastic hike but man we were tired!  We even got to see a grizzly bear!  It was on the side of the road - which is the best way to see them!!

We've got a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the fabulous Judy Rozema!  Judy's cards are always super cute and super creative!  I love them!  You need to head over to her blog to check them out!  

Okay so two weeks in a row with circles!  I think the girls are trying to do me in!!!  Of course I needed to use my new Lovely Layers Peony dies!  I just couldn't resist them!  I love all those layers!  I think they're going to be a beast to send (I should probably try not using dimensionals) but they're totally worth it!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic White, Garden Green

DSP: Peaceful Prints

Stamps: Little Birthday Notes (MFT)

Ink: VersaFine Black, Garden Green

Other: Lovely Layers Peony Honey Cuts (Honey Bee Stamps), Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Dimensionals
