Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #690

Hello!
Happy Wednesday! Hope you're having a great start to your week!  We are in desperate need of rain around here.  The smoke moved in on Saturday from the various wildfires taking place across our country right now.  Lots of northern cities are dealing with wildfires right now.  It's such a hard time of the year.  

We have a fabulous new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the fabulous Karren Johnson!  Karren's cards are gorgeous!  Please head over to her blog and give her some love!  

That circle struck me as a sunflower so I pulled out the Lovely Layers Sunflower Honey Cuts by Honey Bee Stamps.  I grabbed my Distress Oxides and coloured away.  My woodgrain embossing folder was sitting out after last week's card so I decided to put it to good use again!  

Supplies:
Cardstock:  Hammermill White Coverstock, Early Espresso

Ink: Scattered Straw, 

Dies: Lovely Layers Sunflowers, Fossilized Amber, Gathered Twigs, Espresso (Distress Oxides)

Other: Hardwood Embossing Folder (SU), Curved Everyday Sentiments (Spellbinders), Copper Foil (Spellbinders)

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you'll join in our challenge this week!  Head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to get inspired to create a masterpiece!  You have until Monday at 1 PM EST to get your card entered in this week's challenge!

Thought I'd share a few pictures from last weekend's hike.  The view from the top was incredible but the hike up and down left a little to be desired.  We had great weather though the smoke has started to roll in.  Fire season is starting early!

Have a wonderful day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #682

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  We are cruising into Easter.  Easter seems so late this year and we are already heading towards the end of April and I feel like it should have just started.  My oldest son is just wrapping up his first year at university.  How did that happen?  He starts work full time as an intern for the summer in just a couple of weeks.  

We have a fantastic new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week courtesy of Judy Rozema!  Judy's cards are always delightful so you'll want to head over to her blog and check them out!  I still haven't figured out when she has time to make cards because she is so involved in her local theatre!  

Judy's sketch is super fun and gave me a good challenge trying to figure out what I was going to do with it.  The last time I was at our local craft store I picked up the Landscape Edges dies from Spellbinders.  I thought I could cram them into that circle and make a more masculine card!  It's probably a little tight and I should have used a bigger circle but I'm happy with how it turned out! 

Supplies:
Cardstock:  Hammermill White Cover Stock, Soft Sky (SU), Garden Green (SU), Daffodil Delight (SU), Smoky Slate (SU)

Patterned Paper: Timeless Plaid (SU)

Ink: Rustic Wilderness, Tumbled Glass, Fossilized Amber, Hickory Smoke (All Distress Oxides)

Dies: Landscape Edges (Spellbinders), Double Stitched Circles (Lil Inkers), Shine Bright (Reverse Confetti)

Other: Glimmer Hot Foil Machine (Spellbinders), Curved Everyday Sentiments (Spellbinders), Silver Foil (Spellbinders)

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  

I hope you'll head over to our blog and join in our challenge this week!  You have until Monday at 1 PM EST to get your card entered into this week's challenge!  We always love to see all the creative ways you use our sketches!  

 Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #678

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  Are you having a great week so far?  Spring is being very tumultuous here.  I can't say I'm surprised.  The mountains are getting snow and we're getting cooler weather but nothing that accumulates.  Avalanche risk is crazy high here and so hiking has to be done at slightly lower elevations.  We have passed on hiking the last few weekends and hit the ski hills instead!  I'm excited to get back on the trails soon!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is our favourite French woman Cecile Ribon!  Cecile's cards always blow my mind so please head over to her blog to check them out!  You won't be disappointed!  

I'll admit when I first saw Cecile's sketch I was a little nervous.  That splotch is very splotchy and I didn't have a clue what to do with that.  Then I remembered that I had some stencils from Stampin Up that would work perfectly for this card!  I grabbed my favourite distress oxide yellows and went to work!  Since the Be Bold Blooms worked so well last week I decided to use them again!   I already had the sentiment on my desk so we put it all together!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill Coverstock White, Gold (SU)

Ink: Scattered Straw, Fossilized Amber (Distress Oxides)

Dies: Be Bold Blooms (Spellbinders), Happy Parents Day (Spellbinders)

Other: Linked Together Decorative Masks, Gold Foil (Spellbinders), Happy Parent's Day Hot Foil Plate (Spellbinders), Glimmer Hot Foil Machine (Spellbinders)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge this week!  You have until Monday at 1 PM EST to get your card entered into this week's challenge.  If you need some inspiration, you'll definitely find it on the blog!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #669

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  We are almost halfway through January!  I actually feel like it's flying by.  Normally I'd say January has 693 days but this year I feel like I'm blinking and it's gone.  I'm sure it doesn't feel that way to everyone and I know a lot of people struggle with January.  I think our weather has been so uncharacteristically mild that it doesn't quite seem like January.  At least that's what I'll tell myself!

We have a brand new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is our favourite Australian and the lady I'm most excited to take to the top of a mountain, Narelle Farrugia!  Narelle makes beautiful cards.  She's our layering queen so head over to her blog to check them out! 

I wanted to make another Valentine's Day card but I really struggled.  I probably should have just scrapped it and moved on to something else instead but I didn't.  I'm not overly thrilled with the final product but I got it done!  

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill Coverstock White, Silver Foil, Real Red (SU)
Dies: Many Hearts Dies (SU)
Other: Curved Everyday Sentiments (Spellbinders), Silver Foil (Spellbinders), Subtle Texture Embossing Folder.

We headed out on a much warmer hike at Rummel Ridge on Saturday.  We thought we were in for a treat of a hike but turns out we hit a snowstorm on our ascent and our views were pretty non-existent!  Thankfully the skies cleared on our way down and we were able to catch a few beautiful views!  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll join in our challenge this week!  You have until Monday at 1 PM EST to get your card entered into this week's challenge!  If you need any inspiration at all, please head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the cards the Design Team have posted!

Have an amazing day!

Hello and Happy New Year!  

We are starting the year off with a bang!  Okay, maybe not a bang at our house but we're definitely starting out the year right.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and got rested up.  The tree and my Christmas village went away yesterday clearing away the last of the Christmas decorations.  The storage room has been cleaned and tidied and there is a massive load for donation and the dump!  I doubt the momentum will continue but we tried!

We have a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess is the amazing Cecile Ribon!  Cecile is a master card maker and I'm always blown away by her creations - both cards and other amazing paper crafts! Please head over to her blog and show her some love!  

I was totally wishing I had some really pretty snowflake dies I could use for this card but alas!  Now that I'm looking at it, I could use heart dies!  That's probably what I should have done.  Gotten a jump start on Valentine's day!  I went with stars instead!  I knew I had some pretty star paper that I managed to locate, I cut out some stars and used a pre-made foiled sentiment since it was just sitting there waiting to be glued onto a card!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, Night of Navy, Copper Foil, Copper Sparkle 

DSP: It's an old Christmas one from SU.  I can't remember the name.

Dies: Stars Framelits (SU)

Other: Curved Everyday Sentiments (Spellbinders), Copper Foil (Spellbinders), Tin Tile Embossing Folder (SU)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge this week!  You have until Monday at 1 PM EST to get your card entered into this week's challenge.

If you need some inspiration, the design team has created some amazing cards!  Go check them out!

I hope you'll follow along for my 2025 hiking adventures!  Trevor and I wrapped up 2024 with 31 hikes together and I managed to squeeze in another 9 hikes with friends (and without Trevor) to top out at 40 hikes this year!  Not our biggest year for kilometers or elevation but we had such a fantastic year climbing.  I can't wait to see what we tackle this year!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge 661

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  I feel like Halloween ended and suddenly Christmas is everywhere.  I have a bit of Christmas shopping done but not a whole lot.  I can't really wrap my head around Christmas yet.  Our church hosts a Christmas market every year and I'm helping plan that and then the next night I'm hosting a ladies Advent evening.  To say that my brain feels like it might explode is an understatement.  The best part is that the week of all this excitement my husband needs to be out of town!  I'm so thankful both my kids can drive!  Makes crazy weeks more bearable!

We have a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  Our hostess is the lovely Jacquie Southas!  Jacquie's cards are so pretty - please head over to her blog and check them out! 

Shockingly this card came together quickly - probably because it wasn't the first one I made.  The first one I made I wasn't too happy with but I'll probably still post it on Instagram so if you want to see if you'll have to hop over there!  I got this new Snowflake embossing folder the last time I was at the Paper and Ink Boutique and decided to give it a whirl!  I really do love it!  I threw on a foiled sentiment and some jewels and called it a day!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock

Other: Winter's Veil Embossing Folder (Tonic Studios), A Merry Little Christmas Sentiments (Spellbinders), Glimmer Hot Foil Machine, Silver Foil (Spellbinders), Basic Rhinestones (SU)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!!  

Stay tuned for a new card next week!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #657

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  We're having a beautiful fall week!  I actually don't want it to end!  The sun has been warm and the skies blue.  I know the white, fluffy stuff is just around the corner so I'm going to embrace this weather while I can!  Fall hiking season is almost over and it makes me a little sad.  I'm sure we've got a few more weeks to go but we will need to start packing our winter gear!

We've got a brand new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches courtesy of the amazing Karren Johnson!  You will love Karren's cards so head over to her blog to check them out!  

This card actually came together quite quickly - I know, I was shocked too!  I had a pack of fall paper that I think I got last year and hadn't opened at all.  I love fall paper and fall cards and since I needed an anniversary card for my husband (22 years on Saturday) I figured this would work perfectly.  I diecut some oak leaves from the Spellbinders Autumn Wonder set and we were ready to go!  I have no idea what set the tag is from.  It was in my storage binder and back then I wasn't too concerned with writing down the names of things.  Now I have no clue where things came from!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Baked Brown Sugar, Hammermill White Coverstock

Patterned Paper: Simple Stories Acorn Lane

Ink: Antique Linen, Vintage Photo (Tim Holtz Distress Oxides)

Dies: Autumn Wonder (Spellbinders), Tag

Other: Curved Everyday Sentiments (Spellbinders), Copper Foil, Twine, Rhinestones (Honeybee Stamps)

I thought I'd share some photos from a recent hiking adventure!  For this one I traded in my regular hiking partner for my friend Annie!  Annie's husband serves in our military and he's on a training exercise so she's been joining us or her and I hike together!  We had a hoot!  This is the Skoki area - behind the Lake Louise ski hill.  It was so beautiful!  The larches were robed in their golden splendor and looked amazing!  There were so many lakes and it was so fun to explore!  We put on 26 km and 1000 m in elevation gain!  It was one of the most amazing days!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge this week.  We always love to see what you create!  If you need some inspiration, head over to the blog!  The design team has come up with some incredible examples!  You have until Monday at 1 PM EST to get your card entered in this week's challenge!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #652

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  It's back to school time here and I feel like I'm ready to get back into the swing of things but I'm not quite ready to let summer go yet!  We had such a short summer here with a late spring snow that I feel like summer went by way too fast and I'm not at all ready for fall or winter to come!  My oldest son started post secondary on Tuesday.  He's living at home this year and it doesn't quite feel as real as it would if he have moved out.  My youngest starts grade 11 today!  I am praying they both have the best year!

We have a brand new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the wonderful Linda Callahan!  Linda's cards are always so sweet so please head over to her blog and check them out! 

I wasn't too sure at first what I wanted to do for my card this week.  I need a thank you card but I wasn't inspired.  Then I saw these cute little birds sitting on my desk that I had cut previously and realized I could make them work.  I grabbed some really old SU DSP and went to town!  I love these birds and need to figure out what other colour combinations I can do them in!!  

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, Real Red, Early Espresso, Pacific Point, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie

DSP: SU retired

Ink: Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide (Tim Holtz)

Dies: Perched Birds (Spellbinders), Double Stitched Circles (Lil Inkers)

Other: Sentiments for Everyday Hot Foil Plate (Spellbinders), Champagne Hot Foil (Spellbinders)

I still have quite a few hiking photos to share with you!  This hike is from earlier in August!  We decided we wanted to squeeze a hike in one day but they were calling for a storm.  We hustled up to the top - the last kilometer was such a grind.  We could see the crazy clouds coming and hear the thunder.  We managed to reach the top just in time but we did get caught in a cloud inversion!  It was so fun!  On the race to then get off the mountain, I fell - it wasn't a bad fall, just a cut and some blood but all is well!  Definitely one of our fastest and most exciting hikes!

You can see the runs our our ski hill in the background!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge!  We would love to have you!  If you need some inspiration, there are some amazing cards there that our Design Team have posted!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #635

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a wonderful week!  We are getting some much needed rain but it's super cold and it's also soccer season here which means I have a kid standing in goal freezing for 90 minutes every couple of days!  The warm weather is supposed to arrive on Thursday, just in time for the next game!  What crazy weather we've been having.  The farmers and the fire fighters need the rain so we won't complain I guess.

We've got a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  I am this week's hostess and I have a fairly simple sketch for you.  I actually wasn't sure what I was going to do with this card.  I originally wanted to make a masculine card and had something in mind but couldn't get it to work out.  Shocking!  

I really love the last Simple Stories paper pad I bought so I grabbed it again and went to work.  I have lent out some of my Lovely Layers dies so one of the only ones I have left are the anemones.  I probably should have done a different colour than pink but I didn't have time to fix it after I came to this realization!   I need 13 thank you cards for Thursday and I work tonight so I'm in a crunch!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, Bermuda Bay, Bumble Bee, Chocolate Chip

Patterned Paper: Simple Stories 6X8 Paper Pad (Trail Mix)

Ink: Tattered Rose, Saltwater Taffy, Rustic Wilderness (Tim Holtz Distress Oxides)

Dies: Lovely Layers Anemones (Honey Bee Stamps)

Other: Glimmer Hot Foil Machine (Spellbinders), Wonderful Sentiments (Pink Fresh Studios), Gold Foil

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge!  I can't wait to see what you create!  I always love checking out your creative ideas!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #634

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  We were having a great week until the forecast said snow.  It's almost May and we're still dealing with snow.  Some areas closer to the mountains are supposed to get between 10-20 cm of snow.  That's a fair bit of snow for the spring.  Thankfully our temperatures are supposed to remain above freezing so I'll be praying that it melts!  I need spring and summer to come NOW!!!

We have a fun new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches today!  Our hostess today is my fellow Rocky Mountain dweller (but the Colorado variety), Kim Singdahlsen! You will love Kim's cards so head over to her blog to be wowed!  Your wish list will grow so be warned!!!  

I'll be honest, when I first saw this sketch I just stared at it and had no clue at all what I wanted to do.  Angles throw me I guess.  I have also been super busy (and a little overwhelmed) at work and so my creative side is definitely lacking.  It took a couple of days of staring at the sketch and the card you see above is what was produced.  It's not my favourite.  It's not even in my top 10!  I had a vision but I just couldn't make it work despite my best efforts!  

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, Highland Heather

Ink: Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord (Tim Holtz Distress Oxides)

Dies: Paper Florist Dies

Other: Glimmer Hot Foil Machine (Spellbinders), Monoline Stars Embossing Folder (Spellbinders), Basic Rhinestones (SU), Purple Foil (Spellbinders), Be Bold Sentiments (Spellbinders)

We didn't get out for a hike on the weekend.  I was a little sad but I was exhausted from the previous week and knew what my body didn't need was a 4AM wake up and then hauling myself up a mountain!  We won't get out this weekend either since I'll be at a conference and Trevor will be away!  That will make the following weekend even better!

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

The Design Team have some amazing cards already posted so go and check them out!  You'll hopefully find some inspiration!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #633

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're all having a great week!  Spring seems to have finally arrived here.  Though I won't say for sure that we won't see snow again!  Anything is possible in Alberta!  Trevor and I went on an amazing hike with our friend Annie on the weekend.  The weather was perfect!  Not a cloud in sight, almost no wind and the most beautiful views.  It was one of my favourite hikes.  There was at least 6 feet of snow where we were.  If you broke through you went down to your butt and your foot still wasn't touching the ground!  It was crazy!  We couldn't believe it.  But I truly believe that the mountains are prettier with snow.

We've got a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the incredible Linda Callahan.  Linda's cards are beautiful so please head over to her blog and check them out!  

So I honestly didn't know what I was going to do with this sketch.  I didn't feel all that creative!  I decided that it would be perfect to use some of the patterned paper that I have been hoarding.  I grabbed one of my paper packs and got to work.  These little butterflies and looked so cute!  I added some flowers and some bling and called it a day!

Supplies: 

Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon, Basic Black

Paper: Simple Stories 6X8 Paper Pad Trail Mix

Ink: Saltwater Taffy Distress Ink, Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide (Tim Holtz)

Dies: Paper Florist Dies, Nested Essential Dies (both SU), MFT Everyday Strips (MFT)

Other:  Glimmer Hot Foil Machine, Gold Foil, Mini Everyday Sentiments (Spellbinders), Wink of Stella, Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels.

Here's a few photos from our weekend hike!  I hope you enjoy them!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge this week!  We always love to see what you come up with!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #630

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  It's spring break week here so my boys are off and loving it.  The boys went skiing yesterday (I had to work) and I think they had a blast!  I'm glad they're able to do a few days trips while they're off.  I'm hoping today we can get out for a hike but the weather is all over the map and they're calling for rain.  I don't even know the last time it rained (seriously, it barely rained a drop last year).  It's then supposed to snow tomorrow.  A little bit of each season this week!  We were in capris and tshirts on Monday and Tuesday!  Welcome to spring in Calgary!

Shockingly I did struggle.  I know you're all surprised!  I really wanted to incorporate some different coloured flowers but couldn't figure out how to do it in a way I liked.  I'm not even sure I like the final product but this is what we're going with!  

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock,  Pacific Point, Coastal Cabana, Mango Melody, Pineapple Punch, Pink Pirouette, Flirty Flamingo

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #629

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  Hope you're having a great week so far!  We are deep in snow here in western Canada.  We got a lot of snow over the last week and I'm so ready for it to be done.  Yesterday was cold and windy and I'm trying to tell myself that spring will come eventually!!!  We do need the moisture as we're starting spring in drought conditions but at this point I will take rain!!!

We've got a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is our favourite Texan, Amy O'Neill!  Amy makes such creative cards!  You definitely need to head over to her blog and check them out!  So we've got another sketch with a rounded object on it!!  The team is trying to kill me!  

I wasn't sure what to do for that oval but then I realized that the Lovely Layers Peony looks very ovular!  I opted to go with that.  I have a friend undergoing a medical procedure today and I wanted to make sure to get a card in the mail for her since her recovery won't be as speedy as she'd like!  

I am a little obsessed with using the Distress Oxides to colours my flowers!  I'm late to oxide game but one of these days I'm going to hit up the local paper store and grab some more!!!  I really do love them!  I didn't have a lot of purple paper hanging around so I had to make due with what I found!  

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill Coverstock White, Perfect Plum

DSP:Pansy Petals (SU Retired)

Ink: Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord (Distress Oxides)

Other: Lovely Layers Peony, Perfect Plum Ribbon, Mini Everyday Sentiments (Spellbinders), Silver Foil (Spellbinders), Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder (SU), Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels (SU), Glimmer Hot Foil Machine (Spellbinders)

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #627

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  We have emerged from winter and have been enjoying some beautiful weather!  Warm temperatures and lots of sunshine!  My husband I went skiing on the weekend and had the best time!  The weather and conditions were perfect!  Probably our best skiing adventure in a long time!  

We have a fun new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing Karren Johnson!  Karren is an incredible card designer and I'm always wowed by her creations!  Head over to her blog to check them out!  

I wasn't sure what to do with this when I first saw the sketch but then when I next looked at the sketch I saw mountains and a sun so that's how we rolled!  I had to piece a few dies together hence the big trees in front.  I needed to cover up the ugly joint!  I can't wait for the summer hiking season to start.  Right now we're in a severe avalanche risk season.  Trails that don't normally experience avalanches are seeing avalanches.  I digress...back to cards!

I grabbed some mountain dies, some Distress Oxides and went to work!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock

Ink: Bundled Sage, Rustic Wilderness, Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Uncharted Mariner, Pumice Stone, Hickory Smoke, Scattered Straw (Distress Oxides - Tim Holtz)

Other: Mini Everyday Sentiment (Spellbinders), Layering Alpine Lake Scene (Prism Studio), Shine Bright Confetti Cuts (Reverse Confetti), A2 Mountain Scene Builder (Honey Bee Stamps), Glimmer Hot Foil Machine (Spellbinders)

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge!  If you need some inspiration you'll definitely find it on the blog.  

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