Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #477F

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week! I"m so glad to be back and taking part in this week's challenge at Freshly Made Sketches!  I had to take a few weeks off so we could sell our house!  I needed to keep my craft room in tip top shape and there is no way there could be any creating going on!  I'm a very messy crafter!  Thankfully our house sold in just over 24 hours so the craft room can be messed up all over again!

Our hostess this week is the amazing Jen Mitchell!  She is the queen of clean and gorgeous cards!  You'll definitely want to head over to her blog to check them out!  Jen has such a fun sketch for us this week!  Squares are almost as daunting for me as circles are!  I might has stared at this one for a while!

 I opted for the Flower and Field DSP and the Pierced Blooms because honestly, you can't go wrong with them and we all need some cheery flowers right about now!  I absolutely love these flowers!  

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight

DSP: Flower and Field

Stamps: Many Messages

Ink: Basic Black

Other: Pierced Blooms Dies, Message Dies, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to see the gorgeous cards that the girls have created!  They're all so gorgeous!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #473

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're all having a great start to the week!  It's been a crazy week!  I've seen pictures of kids building snowmen in Texas (for their first time ever) to 12" of snow out in Washington!  We got a big dumping of snow Monday night and there's more supposedly coming on Thursday.  I guess being Canadians we're supposed to be used to it and love it, but...I don't really!  I do really prefer to walk in the winter though - except for the death trap sidewalks!  I love the fresh, cold air.  Nothing beats it!

On a less cold and snowy note, we have a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess this week is the incredible and hopefully not frozen Texan, Amy O'Neill!  Amy is so creative and her cards always amaze me!  Head over to her blog to check them out!

Okay, you might not believe this but this is the first version of this card!  Yup, I got it the first time around!  I was rather impressed with myself.  It came together quite quickly.  Things like that generally don't happen so we'll celebrate this one!

I love the Flower and Field paper and couldn't help but use it again this week! Pair with the Pierced Blooms of course.  Who doesn't love a sweet, fresh daisy in the winter to cheer you up?

Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, So Saffron, Granny Apple Green

DSP: Flower and Field

Stamps: Peaceful Moments

Ink: Basic Black

Other: Pierced Blooms Dies, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and take some inspiration from the cards you see there.  The Design Team knocked it out of the park this week!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #469

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a good week!  I feel like Valentine's Day is just around the corner so I'm trying to get some Valentine's Day cards made so I'm not scrambling at the last minute!  Great intentions, not sure about great follow through though!  We shall see!  I usually decorate a bit and should probably do that before it's February 13th!  It's not like there's much else going on around here!!!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess is the amazing Kim Singdahlsen.  Kim's cards are always fabulous and you need to head over to her blog and check them out!  

I decided to use my new Lots of Hearts Stamp set and the Many Hearts dies for this card.  Of course I needed to tie in the FREE Flower and Field DSP!  Honestly, this paper pack might just be my favourite ever.  It makes me smile!  I also used the FREE Oh So Ombre paper as the background.  I just love that fading colour!

I decided to add some thread around the edge of the heart.  It's just embroidery floss and took a VERY long time to stitch.  I couldn't get the floss through the needle and so I was frustrated!  Needless to say, I might not make too many versions of this card!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler

DSP: Flower and Field, Oh So Ombre

Stamps: Lots of Hearts

Ink: Basic Black

Other: Many Hearts Dies, Tasteful Labels Dies, Embroidery Floss, Dimensionals

Thanks again for stopping by!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the other cards!  

We hope you'll join in our challenge this week!

Have a wonderful day!
