Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #573

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  I'm still recovering from a wicked case of Covid.  It was my first bout of it and man, it's been everything I thought it would be and so much more!  It's the gift that keeps on giving!  I'm hugely thankful to the very kind walk in clinic doctor who has me hooked up with some good medications to help recover from the fun chest infection that Covid has left in it's wake.  I've been told within 24 hours I should be feeling much better.  I can't wait.  It's been a very long 2 weeks!

We've got a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches today!  Our hostess this week is the super creative Kim Singdahlsen!  Kim's cards are always amazing so you need to head over to her blog and check them out.  You will not be disappointed!  

So this one stumped me.  I think the Covid has messed with my brain so focusing on this card for long periods of time was a challenge.  I finally realized I had some patterned paper from MFT that would work!  Of course I then added a flower which doesn't really fit in the sketch at all.  I'm basically just a disaster with this card!!!  I'm so thankful the DT girls are so forgiving!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush, Daffodil Delight, Gold Foil, Hammermill Cover Stock 

Patterned Paper: Feelin' Festive 6X6 Pack (MFT)

Ink: Melon Mambo, Strawberry Slush, Blushing Bride

Other: Lovely Layers Cone Flowers Honey Cuts (Honey Bee Stamps), Dazzling Diamonds Hot Foil Plate (Spellbinders), Just Wanted to Say Glimmer Hot Foil Plates (Spellbinders), Champagne Foil (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!  We always love to see what you create!  You'll find some amazing inspiration on the blog!  The Design Team has created some beauties that will get your creative juices flowing!  

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #566

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope everyone is having a great week so far!  How's your Christmas shopping coming along? Are you done yet?  I have one gift left to buy which the boys and I will go out and get on Friday night.  I am thankful to be one. I have the gifts that I have so far wrapped.  I wanted to get ahead of the game so I started early and plugged away at it!  Now I can focus on some baking!  I did some shortbread cookies yesterday and a batch of chocolate peanut butter cookies (they're not really Christmassy but my youngest loves them and always gets them at Christmas!).

We've got a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is our favourite Aussie Narelle Farrugia!  If you haven't checked out Narelle's cards you need to run and do it now!  You need to head to her blog and check out those beautiful creations!  Narelle and I have the goal to climb a mountain together one day.  Okay, Narelle will be driving a car and I'll be walking but we'll make it to the top together at some point!!!

I knew what I wanted to use the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers Mums Honey Cuts on this card.  I had to be fairly liberal with the sketch!  I tried to make these dies work as best I could!  Sorry Narelle!!!  These mums are so pretty and I had so much fun creating them!  One colour of cardstock and a lot of ink!!!  I used my Glimmer machine to create that pretty sentiment!  Hot foil is my new favourite thing!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight

Ink:  Blushing Bride, Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, Granny Apple Green
