Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #332

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're all having a great week!  I am currently in the process of packing up my craft room as we need to rip out the flooring and put new flooring in.  We decided since that needed to happen (due to a leak in our foundation), we would re-organize it as well.  When I say "we", I really mean me...there isn't a lot of help in this organizational process!!!  I can't blame my husband.  He would probably get incredibly frustrated watching my decision making process!  Anyhow, it's almost all packed up.  I've sorted through things and am finally getting rid of stuff that I've held onto for far too long.  I will never part with the cards my mom made me when I was going through university though.  They are far too precious and I had such a fun time looking through them the other day when I should have been packing!!!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches courtesy of the amazingly talented Karren Johnson!  Karren is the colour queen!  I totally think I should go and visit her in New Zealand and learn to colour!  I've never been to New Zealand and I think it would be a amazing to go and see!

I really do enjoy my Stampin Blend Markers from SU.  I haven't had any issues with them and ink running so I've been very fortunate.  I am still getting the hang of this colouring thing but I do see why people find it so therapeutic.  Since I'm still new at this I didn't have many designs to colour so I had to dig out some old stamps that then got packed up...sorry if I don't know names today!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Gold Foil
DSP: Pop of Pink (Retired)
Stamps: I Like You (flowers), Sentiment ???
Ink: Memento
Other: Sequins, Stampin Blends, 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 your inspiration!

Have a fabulous day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #172

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I'm all messed up with my days because we ended up having a snow day on Monday!  The boys loved being home and being able to stay in their PJ's and play outside in the snow with the neighbours and their dog!  The boys had a blast!  It was nice to be able to have a nice day of relaxing and playing!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  The fabulous Linda Callahan brings us this week's beauty!   Linda makes such amazing cards!  Head over to her blog and check them out!

Now, that giant heart is very much like giant circle to me.  Maybe even worse!  I don't know why I have trouble with shapes.  I think the main reason this sketch really challenged me was because was was determined to make my husband's birthday card with it (which was my first mistake).  Once I gave up the notion that this would be his birthday card, it all came together a lot easier.  If you get frustrated making cards, don't worry, you're not alone!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White

Stamps: I Like You, Sending You (Lil' Inkers)

Ink: Basic Black, Stazon

Other: Beautiful Wings Embosslit, Sequins, Twine, Stitched Rectangles (Lil' Inkers), Anytime Tags Dies (Lil' Inkers), Dimensionals

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #158

Hello!
I hope you're having a great day!  Can you believe it's Wednesday already?!  I guess because we celebrated Thanksgiving on Monday and had a holiday, the week is flying by!  I love it!  We are definitely having a great week.

We have a a great new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is Jennifer Timko!  Jen makes such beautiful cards!  You need to go and check our her blog and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about!

I knew as soon as I saw this sketch that I wanted to get some practise with my Blendabilities and use a set that would require some colouring.  I haven't really used my Blendies much so I wanted to make sure they didn't get too dusty!  Of course I had to throw a butterfly in there!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss
DSP: Moonlight DSP Stack
Stamps: I Like You, Kinda Eclectic
Ink: Hello Honey, Memento Black
Other:  Bitty Butterfly Punch, Rich Razzleberry Blendabilities, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals
