Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #240

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope your week has started well!  I am in full camp prep mode here and am cutting up a storm getting projects ready for our 40 campers my friend Julie and I will have in our elective.  Our camp will have about 800 kids but thankfully we only have 40 who have chosen to spend their morning or afternoon with us!  We have about 20+ projects to get ready and have only a month left!

We have a new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches and I have the privilege of being this week's hostess!  Such stress!  It's always hard to come up with a sketch and you'll never know how it will go over!

I needed a birthday card this week so I decided to use some of the Cherry On Top DSP stack to create this card!  I decided to use a ballon too!  I used some silver ink to put the little stars on the balloon.  Unfortunately they don't really show up in the photo!  I added a little sequin tail and called it a day!

Supplies;
Cardstock: Basic Black, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White
DSP: Cherry on Top DSP Stack
Stamps: Celebrate Today
Ink: Bermuda Bay, Stazon Black, Silver
Other: Balloon Framelits, Bermuda Bay Sequins, Stitched Square Dies (Lil' Inkers), White Baker's Twine, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll pop on over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out what the Design Team has created for your inspiration!  I can't wait to see what you come up with this week!

Have a fabulous day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #167

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  Are you ready for Christmas yet?  I am slowly getting there.  The boys have their Christmas concert tomorrow.  I'm so excited to see them!  This week is slowly winding down and we have very few commitments between now and Christmas which I'm very excited to have some relax time.  

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches care of the amazing Narelle Farrugia!  Narelle is the queen of beautiful layers and flowers!  Her blog makes me so happy!  

I had to try out the new Celebrate Today stamp set!   I just love and I love that it's Polymer!  I'm still getting used to the polymer stamps but this one is super fun!  I must say that I didn't start with a black balloon but that's what I ended up with!  This stamp set and the corresponding Balloon Framelits will be available in the new Occasions catalogue in January!  I also added in some of the new Bermuda Bay Sequins - also available in the new catalogue!

I am not so impressed with my balloon tail but it is what it is!  I would do it a bit differently next time!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Bermuda Bay
DSP: Winter Frost Specialty
Stamps: Celebrate Today
Ink: Basic Black, Versamark
Other: Balloon Framelits, Island Indigo Baker's Twine, Bermuda Bay Sequins, Stripes Textured Impression Embossing Folder, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  This is our last post until 2015!  This also means you have two weeks to enter this challenge!

Have a fabulous day!
