Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #426

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having an amazing start to your week!  We're having some incredible spring like weather right now.  I know it won't last but it was so beautiful.  I even got an outdoor workout in!  With the time change, we've also had brighter evenings!  Makes me feel like I might be able to come out of hibernation!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess this week is our favourite New Zealander, Karren Johnson!  Karren just oozes creativity.  Her colouring and her stamp collection are top notch!!!  Head over to her blog to check them out!

I happened to have most of these pieces sitting on my desk!  That rarely happens!  I put them together, added some gold sentiments and voila!  I embossed the background with the subtle texture embossing folder because it just needed a little something!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Gold Foil
DSP: Brights DSP Paper Stack
Stamps: Modern Heart (SU),  Well, Hello (MFT)
Ink: Versamark
Other: Gold Embossing Powder,  Sweet Hello Die-namics (MFT), Gold Sequins, Subtle Texture Embossing Powder

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!  They are just fabulous!!!

I hope you'll join our challenge this week!!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #404

Happy Wednesday!  It's Wednesday already!!!  Yay!!!  I actually love Wednesdays!  They're my "at home" day!  I usually spent the morning cleaning the bathrooms and vacuuming.  I know, really exciting!!!  I actually have to hit a grocery store today because we are out of cucumbers and Jacob LOVES cucumbers.  He would eat a cucumber a day if you let him!  I guess I can't complain!  We're heading to our first (and probably last) Toronto Maple Leaf's game tonight!  It's a pre-season game and we decided this would be our one big winter treat - in September!!!  The kids are super excited!!

Okay, so we have a brand new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches! Our hostess this week our our Texan friend Amy O'Neill!  Amy is our colour-matching, element placing queen!  Head over to her blog to check out her gorgeous creations!

So shockingly, I knew what I wanted to do with this sketch right away!  I needed a wedding card for the wedding we attended last Friday evening and this was going to be it!  I love the Modern Heart Stamp Set from Stampin' Up so that was my go to for that massive oval (which is almost as bad as a massive circle!).

I used some silver embossing powder, threw on some bling and I was good to go!  That pretty much never happens so I was impressed!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Black, Silver Foil
Stamps: Modern Heart (SU), Essential Sentiments (MFT)
Ink: Versamark
Other: Silver Embossing Powder, Frosted Epoxy Drops, Dimensionals

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #398

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a fantastic week so far!  We are finally done camps and it's a week of relaxing and adventures at our house.  The boys are a little bored but that's okay. Being bored is good for them!  They'll figure out some stuff to do.  We have made a few trips to the library and Jacob has loaded up on space encyclopedias.  He's obsessed with space.  It's amazing how much information kids can cram into their brains!  I only wish I could still remember that much info!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches courtesy of our French designer Cecile Ribon!  Cecile's cards are so gorgeous, her die cut collection is to "die" for and she is super creative.

I had received this Modern Heart stamp set from Stampin' Up last week and decided that it would be perfect for this sketch!  I decided to use some ink that I haven't used before so grabbed the Gorgeous Grape and I was off to the races.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White
Stamps: Modern Heart
Ink: Versamark, Gorgeous Grape
Other: Gold Embossing Powder, Sequins, Dimensionals

Have an amazing week!
