Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #608


Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  We are enjoying our last week of fall before winter makes its grand entrance next week.  The highs next week are mostly below zero and there's some snow in the forecast.  I'm not quite ready for it but I guess I don't have much of a choice.  The kids and Trevor are getting super excited for ski season!  I call it "meet Jesus season".  I'm pretty sure one of these days I'll have a wipe out and break something!  Maybe this year I'll get out there and absolutely love it!  

We've got a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches today!  Our hostess this week is our creative Canadian/Californian Jacquie Southas!  Jacquie's cards are beautiful and always so fun so head over to her blog and check them out!  


So I took one look at this sketch and decided that running away would be my best bet!  Actually, that's not true.  I made an anniversary card for my husband with it but I have no idea where he put it so I couldn't take a picture of it and he's away this week!  Plus I wasn't overly thrilled with that particular card.  I tried using butterflies but they didn't look right and then I realized these banners look like upside down pine trees!  Winner, winner, chicken dinner!  Pine trees it is!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White, Wild Wasabi, Garden Green, Shaded Spruce
Stamps: Itty Bitty Gifting (MFT)
Ink: Garden Green, Wild Wasabi, Shaded Spruce, Craft White (All SU)
Other: Pine Wood Dies (SU), Evergreens (Taylored Expressions), Itty Bitty Strips (MFT)

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!  We sure would love to have you play along!  If you need inspiration, you'll find it on the blog as well!  There are some gorgeous cards posted by the team!

Have an amazing day!
Jen

  1. Jennifer, something tells me that anniversary card was just wonderful - but WOW do I love your forest!!
    Snow??? REally?? ugh... I'm not ready for that but it sure seems like it's getting cold way too early here in Michigan, too.
    I can't wait to play!
