Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #620

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  The weather has finally warmed up and the sun has finally come out!  I have never been so excited.  My youngest son and I went grocery shopping on Monday and the wind was so bitter.  It warmed up almost 20 degrees between Monday and Tuesday!  I'll take it!

We have a fantastic new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the fabulous Jacquie Southas!  Jacquie's cards are always so beautiful and the one she has made for today might just be my favourite!!!  If you know me you know that I love gnomes so this card makes me super happy!  Head over to her blog and check it out! 

So I needed a baby card and knew I had to use this sketch to make one!  I was running out of time and left it a little too long!  Let's say it didn't come together as easy or as well as I wanted it to.  This wasn't quite what I had in mind but this is what we're left with!  I had tried to get some new baby themed stuff at the store the other day but couldn't find much so we went with what we already had!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock

Patterned Paper: Gingham Happy Hearts (Honey Bee Stamps)

Other: Dainty Diamonds Textured Embossing Folder,  Baby's First Framelits Dies (SU - retired), Sentiments for Everyday (Spellbinders), Nested Circles (Pink Fresh Studios), Circle Dies (Spellbinders), Bedtime Stories Sequin Mix (Honey Bee Stamps), Foil (Spellbinders), Glimmer Hot Foil Machine (Spellbinders).

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head on over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge this week!  If you need some inspiration you'll find some on the blog.  We can't wait to see what you create this week!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #266

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week and your Christmas preparations are going well.  I'm slowly trying to get some gift wrapping done.  I had some "help" from our kitten with the wrapping and I'm thinking she may be as bad as having a toddler!    I guess it will get done soon enough!!!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches.  Our hostess this week is the one and only Amy O'Neill!  Amy is our resident colour expert and makes such amazing and creative projects!

I needed to make a baby card - well a twins card for a friend of mine who's wife recently had two beautiful little girls!  Now, this card may change between now and when I give it to them!  I am not totally happy with the background!  I really should have either used some texture or some different paper.  I was a little frustrated when I made the card and decided that it would be better to have a card finished than to not have one finished!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Smokey Slate, Basic Grey, Pink Glimmer (Recollections)
Stamps: Something for Baby, Itty Bitty Banners
Ink: Smokey Slate, Pink Pirouette
Other: Baby's First Framelits, Botanical Builders Framelits, Basic Pearls, Bitty Banner Framelits, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the amazing cards the Design Team has created or you!

Have a fabulous day!
