Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #457

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  We are coming off a long Thanksgiving weekend in Canada!  We were able to get out for a few hikes this weekend and the trees were so glorious!  That's one thing I would miss if I didn't live where there were gorgeous maples and oaks.  The colours were amazing!  

We have an amazing new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week courtesy of the talented Linda Callahan!  Linda makes gorgeous cards!  She is super creative and usually has a great story to go with her cards!  Head over to her blog to check them out! 

I bet you can't guess it, but I had trouble with this one!  I know, shocking right?!  Story of my life these days.  I just couldn't figure out what to do.  Finally my eyes landed on the Honey Bee DSP from SU.  It's some of my favourite paper ever!  I was pretty sure this would work for my card!

I added a couple of little bees and we were off to the races!   

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Gold Foil

DSP: Honey Bee Specialty

Stamps: Honey Bee, Celebrate Sunflowers

Ink: Memento Black, Basic Black

Other: Detailed Bees Dies, Tasteful Texture DSP, Stampin Blends, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the gorgeous cards the Design Team have created!  

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #440

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  We're having a great week in Southern Ontario. We will be progressing to Stage 2 openings on Friday which means that hair cuts are now available.  All three boys have hair cuts booked!  I cut my husband's hair on the weekend but just did a little trim.  He definitely still needs a proper cut.  We'll mask everyone up and be good to go.  I will have to wait a while longer to get my hair cut.  I'll survive!!!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  Our hostess this week is our colour whiz Amy O'Neill!  Amy mixes colours together so well.  Her cards are always so beautiful.  She's also the queen of elements!  Head over to her blog to check them out!

I already had one coloured sunflower sitting on my desk when I saw this sketch and knew that making a second done would be the answer to this card!  I also saw some of this gingham paper and knew this would pair perfectly.  Okay, maybe not perfectly but I thought it was very "farmish"!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Balmy Blue
DSP: Gingham
Stamps: Celebrate Sunflowers
Ink: Memento Black
Other: Stampin Blends, Sweetly Stitched Dies, Sequins, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the gorgeous cards the Design Team have posted!  They're just fabulous!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #438

Hello!
Happy Wednesday and welcome to June!!!  Can you believe it's June?!  I know a lot of you have kids that are already done school and enjoying their summer break.  My Canadian kids will be grinding out this distance learning thing until almost the end of the month.  Let's just say now that the golf course is open, there isn't a whole lot of motivation to do school work!  Only a few more weeks!

We have a great new sketch today at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the super creative, colouring genius Karren Johnson.   You will definitely want to head on over to her blog and check out her gorgeous designs!

When I first saw the sketch and that giant diamond, I tried to figure out what I could use.  Then the sunflowers struck!  I just love those new Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and the dies from Stampin' Up.  At first I didn't like them and I was a little disappointed they were part of pre-order.  Now, I just want to use them all day long!!!  So, I apologize in advance for how many sunflower cards you're going to see!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow
DSP: In Good Taste DSP, World of Good Specialty
Stamps: Celebrate Sunflowers
Ink: Stazon Black (not sure why I didn't use Early Espresso!)
Other: Sunflower Dies, Tasteful Texture Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to check out the cards the Design Team created for your inspiration!

Have an amazing day!
