Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #569

Hello! Happy Wednesday!
I hope your week has started well!  We had two foggy days (like all day, crazy fog) that then froze to the trees creating fog frost.  It's the most amazing thing.  The trees look like magical, snow covered beauties but without the actual snow!  Once the sun hits them it melts but it's still so cool!  Trevor and I were able to get out for another hike on the weekend.  It was fabulous.  Part of it was pretty vertical and almost made me want to cry but it was so nice to get out.  The view wasn't as good as normal because of the clouds but it will still beautiful!  Mountains are always more beautiful with snow! 

We've got a brand new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing Jacquie Southas!  Jacquie creates the most beautiful cards!  Head over to her blog to check out her gorgeous cards!  

Jacquie's sketch is perfect to generate all kinds of different cards!  I still want to make a few Valentine's Day cards so this sketch worked perfectly for that!  I grabbed Many Hearts Dies (SU), the Always Dies (SU) and my Knit Picky Winter paper pack (Lawn Fawn) and went to town!  The best part is that I can make this card in different colours so they're not all the same and some more perfect for the boys in my life!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Flirty Flamingo, Blushing Bride, Champagne Foil, Basic White

Patterned Paper: Knit Picky Winter (Lawn Fawn)

Stamps: Forever and Always (SU)

Ink: Flirty Flamingo

Other: Always Dies (SU), Many Hearts Dies (SU)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll join in our challenge this week!  Head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to check out the cards the Design Team has created to inspire you!  We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #474

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  We had lots of snow last week but this week we're getting above freezing temperatures and some rain.  I guess that means our snow will start melting - which is okay with me.  Maybe the death trap sidewalks will become more walkable!!!  The long range forecast (which is never right, let's be honest) indicates about freezing temperatures every day.  I'm totally okay with an early spring!!!  Bring it on!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess is the amazing Judy Rozema!  Judy's cards are always so beautiful.  She sure creates some super creative cards!  Head over to her blog to check them out!

I had to be a bit of rebel with this card and turn it on it's side.  I tried to make it work in portrait mode but unfortunately I didn't have the right "with sympathy" sentiment to work.  So, over it went!  Narelle used flowers like these a few weeks ago and I knew they would be perfect on my card. My colouring isn't quite as good as Narelle's but we're going to go with it!  Thankfully whoever I send this to probably won't not how good Narelle's colouring is!  I used the Crumb Cake Stampin Blends to colour the flowers.  

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White

DSP: In Good Taste

Stamps: Forever and Always

Ink: Memento Black

Other: Always Dies, Stampin' Blends, Braided Linen Trim, Elegant Faceted Gems

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to check out the cards that the Design Team has made!  

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

Have an amazing day!
