Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #382

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  It's been a pretty good week here!  Maybe not the springiest weather I have ever seen but at least it's not snowing!  It did snow on the weekend and the robins were really unimpressed!  I can't get over how slowly spring seems to be coming!!!  I guess it will be here soon enough!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess is the one and only Jen Timko!  Jen creates beautiful cards and has turned herself into a colouring genius!  Head over to her blog to check them out!

I may have had several rounds of this card.  I just could not get the colours right.  Even now, I'm not over thrilled with it.  Sometimes I make myself wonder!!  I just loved that flower paper and really wanted to incorporate it into my card!  I also wanted this card to be an encouragement for a friend so I knew which stamp set I wanted to use but I struggle when it comes to colour combinations!  I would do better if everything was black and white!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Lovely Lipstick, Grey Granite, Pool Party, Whisper White
Patterned Paper: Under the Umbrella (Reverse Confetti)
Stamps: Kindness Cards (Reverse Confetti)
Ink: Memento Black
Other: Small Flower (SU), Stitched Rectangles (Lil Inkers), Kindness Cards Confetti Cuts (Reverse Confetti), Dimensionals

Thanks again 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 made for your inspiration!

Have a fabulous day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #369

Hello!
Happy New Year!  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a celebrated the New Year well!  I must confess that I am not a night owl so being in bed early on New Year's Eve was just fine with me.  My youngest thought staying up until midnight would be fun but we all knew that he would not be the prettiest sight the following day.  After many, many late nights in a row, midnight was not an option for him.  Yup, I'm a fun sucker.

We have a brand new sketch for the brand new year at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing Amy O'Neill!  Amy's cards area always so beautiful and she puts colours and elements together like nobody's business!

Amy had a great sketch and I had started working on this card before I left to go and visit my parents.  Unfortunately I didn't get it done and had to start over again when I was at my mom's.  I'm so thankful my mom is a card maker and I don't really have to bring my own stuff!  I did get quite a few new goodies for Christmas though so it was fun to play with them!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Black, Berry Burst, Lucky Limeade, Whisper White
Patterned Paper: Cue the Confetti (Reverse Confetti)
Stamps: Pattern Builder, Kindness Cards (Reverse Confetti)
Ink: Memento Black, Lucky Limeade, Berry Burst, Pool Party, Tangelo Twist
Other: Pattern Builder Confetti Cuts (Reverse Confetti), Circle Punch, Basic Rhinestone, Dimentionals

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 that the Design Team have created as inspiration!  You won't be disappointed!  I hope you'll also go and welcome our three newest team members!  We're so excited to have them on board!

Have a fabulous day!
