Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #551

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you are having a great start to your week!  Have your kids or grandkids gone back to school yet?  My youngest goes back tomorrow and my oldest on Friday.  As much as I'm ready for routine and a little bit more alone time, I have really enjoyed the summer this year!  My oldest got his license on Friday so he's excited to have a bit more freedom.  I'm not quite sure I'm ready for this yet! My youngest got his learners on Friday as well so we're all in to the driving scene!  My youngest is only 14 so it's a little crazy to think the province will let him drive!! Pray for us!!!

We've got a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the incredibly talented Kim Singdahlsen!  You need to head over to her blog and check out her beautiful cards!  

I picked up this adorable snowman die from Lawn Fawn on the weekend!  I just loved him!  There's a her as well!  I can't wait to make a bunch of snowmen!  My youngest came in and told me I was crazy making snowmen in the summer!!  I probably am but they were just too cute to resist!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Blushing Bride

Stamps: Christmas to Remember

Ink: Basic Black, Read Red

Other: Build a Snowman Die (Lawn Fawn), Softly Falling Embossing Folder, A2 Mountain Scene Builder Add-on Honey Cuts (Honey Bee Stamps), Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I really hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge.

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #499

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having an amazing week so far!  Yesterday we got rain.  This is a HUGE deal for us.  It's been weeks and weeks since we've had rain.  Everything was so dry.  Scary dry.  Wildfires are a big deal out here. We had one in Canmore which is about an hour from us and that's crazy close!  Hopefully with the rain, the fires will be a little more under control.  

We have a fabulous new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess this week is the fabulous Jen Mitchell!  Jen is the queen of clean for sure and makes the most gorgeous cards.  Head over to her blog and check them out!

At first I thought this card would be no problem.  In my head I had an idea of what I wanted to do for this card but I had a really hard time making it work.  Of course I switched to Plan B but that one didn't work so I opted for Plan C and that didn't work so I went back to Plan A and worked and worked and finally ended up with a card.  

I really love the Christmas Pinecone dies...but I will admit they are a bit of a pain to work with.  Let's just say I don't want to have to make a lot of these!!  The brand new Timber Embossing Folder is fabulous and gave the card the texture it needed.  I added some Wink of Stella to the pinecones because they looked a little naked.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Basic White, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Soft Succulent

Stamps: Christmas to Remember

Ink: Versamark

Other: Christmas Pinecone Dies, Seasonal Label Dies, Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Wink of Stella,  White Embossing Powder, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the collection of cards the Design Team has put together for you!

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

Have an amazing day!

Jen
