Hello!
Happy Wednesday! I hope you're having a great start to your week! We were having a great week until the forecast said snow. It's almost May and we're still dealing with snow. Some areas closer to the mountains are supposed to get between 10-20 cm of snow. That's a fair bit of snow for the spring. Thankfully our temperatures are supposed to remain above freezing so I'll be praying that it melts! I need spring and summer to come NOW!!!

We have a fun new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches today! Our hostess today is my fellow Rocky Mountain dweller (but the Colorado variety), Kim Singdahlsen! You will love Kim's cards so head over to her blog to be wowed! Your wish list will grow so be warned!!!
I'll be honest, when I first saw this sketch I just stared at it and had no clue at all what I wanted to do. Angles throw me I guess. I have also been super busy (and a little overwhelmed) at work and so my creative side is definitely lacking. It took a couple of days of staring at the sketch and the card you see above is what was produced. It's not my favourite. It's not even in my top 10! I had a vision but I just couldn't make it work despite my best efforts!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, Highland Heather
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, Highland Heather
Ink: Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord (Tim Holtz Distress Oxides)
Dies: Paper Florist Dies
Other: Glimmer Hot Foil Machine (Spellbinders), Monoline Stars Embossing Folder (Spellbinders), Basic Rhinestones (SU), Purple Foil (Spellbinders), Be Bold Sentiments (Spellbinders)
We didn't get out for a hike on the weekend. I was a little sad but I was exhausted from the previous week and knew what my body didn't need was a 4AM wake up and then hauling myself up a mountain! We won't get out this weekend either since I'll be at a conference and Trevor will be away! That will make the following weekend even better!
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!
The Design Team have some amazing cards already posted so go and check them out! You'll hopefully find some inspiration!
You have until Monday at 1 PM EST to enter this week's challenge!
Have an amazing day!

Such a pretty and fresh card! Love the white space with the texture - and the pops of lavenders are so sweet!
