Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #195

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  We are almost midway through our Harvest Kids Camp week.  We have a total of 806 (807 if you could my friend's 1 week old baby who showed up to help today)!  My friend Julie and I are running a card making elective with 31 Grades 3-5 kids in the morning and 35 Grades 1 and 2 kids in the afternoon.  We are having a great time.  I'll be honest though, I'm exhausted!

We have a brand new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess is the fabulously talented Kim Singdahlsen.   I am always so amazed at the creativity of Kim's cards.  She is one talented card maker!

Now, if you know me at all, you know that when I saw that sketch I almost cried.  Not one circles but THREE!  I asked Kim if she was trying to do me in!  Now, I could have used an alternative shape but the best way to conquer your fears is to face them right?!  My mom bought me the stitched circle dies for Mother's Day (I LOVE MY MOM!) and I knew they would work perfectly on this card!

I had that silver "Happy" sitting on my craft table, threw on some bling, embossed the birthday and called it a day!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight
Stamps: Endless Birthday Wishes
Ink: Versamark
Other: Silver Embossing Powder, Hello You Thinlit Dies, Double Stitched Circle Dies (Lil' Inkers), Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals

Thanks again for stopping by!  Please head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to check out the amazing creations the team has come up with!

I hope you have a great end to your week!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #189

Hello!  

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  We had a great weekend.  My parents came down for a visit and my mom so willingly helped me with my camp preparations.  She tied man, many little knots for me!  I am very grateful of her willingness to do such a fiddly job for me!  I'm one step closer to being finished my projects for camp!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches today!  Our hostess is the amazing Narelle Farrugia.  Narelle is the queen of beautiful layers, fussy cut flowers and overall fabulous cards!  You need to check out her blog!  

See that giant circle in there?  It didn't phase me once!  Of course my card is almost entirely white.  I have some strange obsession with white and big white spaces.  I threw some melon mambo in there but I must admit that I originally had it ALL white!  I wanted to keep it simple.  I like simple.   I think I'm just losing all form of creativity to be honest!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Melon Mambo
Stamps: Endless Birthday Wishes
Ink: Black Stazon
Other: Stitched Rectangles, Stitched Tags, Double Stitched Circles, Stitched Squares (all Lil' Inkers), Circle Garland Confetti Cut (Reverse Confetti), Dimensionals, Basic Rhinestones.

Thanks so much for stopping in today!
