Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #375

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  We ended up with another snow day yesterday and the schools were closed.  I figured it might be a snow day so advised my kids to sleep in.  Nope.  Wasn't going to happen.  Both of them up at 7:15!!  They're both praying that school is cancelled again today!  Too funny!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess is our favourite French designer Cecile Ribon!  Cecile's cards are just gorgeous!  She has the most intriguing die cuts and I always love to see how she uses them!

I started out not knowing what I would do with this sketch!  I had something in mind and tried several times to make it work but had to start over.  I went through my dies and found some dual stitched triangles that I figured would work perfectly.  I threw in some circle garlands and I was off to the races!

Supplies: 
Cardstock: Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist, Midnight Muse
Stamps: Essential Sentiments (MFT)
Ink: Midnight Muse
Other: Circle Garland Die (Reverse Confetti), Dual Stitched Triangle Dies (Lil Inkers), Subtle Texture Embossing Folder, 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 has created for you!

We can't wait to see what you come up with this week!

Have a fabulous day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #346

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  We are enjoying a great summer so far.  The boys are in a music camp this week.  They are both drummers and a group of kids learns 3-4 songs all week and then they have a concert on Friday night.  It's amazing how quickly they can learn the songs and how amazing they sound by Friday!  Caleb did it last year but this year both boys are doing it.  Thankfully they have two drum kits in the band!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing and super fun Linda Callahan.  Linda's cards are always thoughtful and often quite punny!  Head on over to her blog and check them out!

Linda's sketch has a LOT of circles on it.  Not just one, but there are three HUGE circles.  Okay, they're not huge but if you don't like circles they seem super big!  I decided I just didn't want to tackle circles and opted to go with triangles instead!!  I have some scrap paper left from camp and used some of the Tutti Frutti for the card!  I decided to go for a black, white and red scheme.  I really do love red!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red
DSP: Tutti Frutti
Stamps: Sentiment Essentials (Reverse Confetti)
Ink: Basic Black
Other: Dual Stitched Triangles (Lil Inkers), Dimensionals

Celebrate with Triangles!

Hello!
I know!  Another post!  Don't get too excited though...I didn't get any cards made today!  I did buy a new stamp set though and spent the afternoon practising my colouring.  I am not gifted in the colouring department but my husband did say that I was doing a pretty good job!!!  I think that's a good thing!

I saw the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch and decided I wanted to play along.  At first I wasn't sure what I was going to do and then I discovered my dual stitched triangle dies I had recently ordered from Lil' Inkers!

It took a little playing with these guys to get them to work but in the end I'm pretty happy with the bright, cheery triangles!  I added a sentiment from the LJD Birthday Greetings (MFT) and the card was ready to go!  It may seem like it took 5 minutes to make and may even look like it took 5 minutes to make but it didn't!!!  I wish!!!

Supplies: 
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive Pumpkin Pie
Stamps: LJD Birthday Greetings (MFT)
Ink: Black Stamen
Other: Dual Stitched Triangle Dies, Dimensionals

Thanks again for stopping by!

Have a fabulous day!
