Hello!
Happy Wednesday! I hope you're having a great start to your week! We are currently on a little adventure! No mountains involved though!!! We're heading back to Ontario and back to the city we used to live in for 48 hours! My husband is heading there on a work trip and I'm just tagging along so I can visit with a few of the people that I love! I have pretty much every second of my 48 hours there planned. It's really not long enough but we've got to go with the flow! I'll be exhausted when I get home!

We've got a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week! Our hostess this week is the amazing Jen Mitchell! Jen's cards are always gorgeous and I'm always inspired by them! Head on over to her blog to check them out!
So I only made one version of this card! I know, it's shocking! That almost never happens! I had just picked up some new Spellbinders dies at the local paper store and couldn't wait to crack them open! This card has a lot of pieces and I'm not sure I'd want to make 20 of them!!! The sentiment is hot foiled with red foil. I have nothing but grief when I use the red foil. I have tried leaving the plate on the machine longer so it's good and hot, running it through the Glimmer machine twice, pretty much anything and it always just does something weird. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I don't have issues with silver or gold foil.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill Coverstock White, Real Red, Basic Black, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Silver Foil
