Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #653

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  We've got a week of school under our belts here!  My oldest started his first year of university and seems to be enjoying it so far.  He is enjoying being able to live at home!  I won't complain having him here.  My youngest just started grade 11.  He's happy and liking his classes so far.  I guess it's been non-eventful.  What more can a mom ask for?

We've got a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches today!  Our hostess this week is the wonderful Kim Singdahlsen.  Kim's cards area so pretty so please head over to her blog and check them out!  

I might have had a little panic when I saw this sketch!  I don't have a lot of super big sentiments and so I had no clue what to do!  I looked through every stamp set and every hot foil plate and thought I was done!  Then I found the Biggest Wish stamp set from Stampin' Up sitting on my shelf and realized I could probably make it work!  But then what to do with the background?  A shaker card to the rescue!  Rhinestones, a border and done!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, 

Stamps: Biggest Wish (SU)

Ink: PinkFresh Detail Black

Dies: Border Die (MFT - I think)

Other: Window Sheets (SU), Unicorn Rhinestones (Honey Bee Stamps), Foam tape (SU).

A few photos from a hike up North Crowfoot!  This area of Alberta is one of our favourites.  So much unique beauty out there.  

This is North Crowfoot Mountain along Bow Lake

Iceberg Lake! This little lake is the headwaters of the Bow River.  It's fed from Bow Glacier seen behind.

Just some beautiful peaks.

Bow Lake!

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 always love to see what you create!  If you need some inspiration, head over there and check out all the cards the Design Team members have posted!

You have until Monday at 1 PM EST to join in this week's challenge!  

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #511

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  How is it Wednesday already?  The weeks are flying by which means Christmas is fast approaching and here I am making birthday cards instead of Christmas cards! Ski season opens here TOMORROW!  Only a few more weeks before I'm in a full body cast!!!  At least that's the joke around here!  Anyhow, the kids have tomorrow and Friday off so we're hoping to enjoy some time in the mountains - maybe!  My youngest had minor surgery on his foot on the weekend so he's still hobbling around.  He might miss out!

We have a fabulous new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess this week is the hilarious Linda Callahan!  Linda makes fabulous cards!  You need to head over to her blog and check them out!

I have a bunch of cards I need to be making and I'm super far behind!  I should be doing Christmas but I wanted to do a birthday card instead!  I can't resist the bees!  I just love them.  I will probably use them forever!  

Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic White, Basic Black

Stamps: Honey Bee, Biggest Wish

Ink: Memento Black, Daffodil Delight

Other: Detailed Bee Dies, Stitched Frame, Brick Wall Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you'll hop on over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the cards that the Design Team created for your inspiration.  You definitely won't be disappointed!  We hope you'll join in our challenge this week!

Have an amazing day!
