Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #725

Hello and Happy Wednesday!

I hope you're all having a great start to your week!  Snowmageddon last week wasn't as exciting as it could have been.  We are expecting another round again this week.  Interesting fact, Alberta gets a lot of it's snow in March.  Spring comes late here!  Thankfully the snow usually comes and then melts right away but right now it's quite cold so looks like we're in for some accumulation.  Only a few more weeks to go!

We have a grand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Cecile Ribon is our favourite French hostess this week!  Please make sure you head over to her blog and check out her beautiful creations.  

I wasn't too sure what to do with this sketch!  It sure is a fun one and I wanted to do it justice. I figured I would go with a giant floral background and throw a sentiment over it and go from there.  I opted to use the Lovely Layers Hydrangea from Honey Bee Stamps because I don't think you can ever go wrong with Hydrangea!  I already had some sentiments foiled and sitting on my desk and they worked perfectly!  Voila.  One round and we were done!  

Supplies:
Cardstock: Petal Pink (SU), Hammermill White Coverstock

Ink: Shabby Shutters, Bundled Sage, Mowed Lawn, Tattered Rose (Distress Oxides), Cotton Candy (Catherine Pooler)

Dies: Lovely Layers Hydrangea (Honey Bee Stamps), Nesting Postage Die (Waffle Flower)

Other: Classic Sentiments (Alex Siberia Designs), Iridescent Rhinestones (SU), Exposed Brick Embossing Folder (SU)

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll join in our challenge this week!  Please head over to Freshly Made Sketches for more information and to get your card entered!  

You have until Monday at 3 PM EST to get your card entered into this week's challenge!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #688

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you've had a great start to your week.  The weather has been beautiful and I think that summer is right around the corner!  I can't wait to spend more time outside!  I have most of the summer off and I'm looking forward to taking advantage of it!!

We've got a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  I have the privilege of being this week's hostess!  It's always fun to create a sketch and then see what everyone does with it.  I really hope you'll play along with our challenge this week.

So I actually wasn't even sure what I was going to do with my own sketch!  I need a few masculine cards (though with the status of Canada Post I'm not sure I'll be sending any out) so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity.  I dragged out some very old SU DSP for this one!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill Coverstock White, Real Red, Basic Black, Basic Grey, Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight, Silver

DSP: Retired SU (I can't remember the name)

Stamps: Typewriter Adventure Sentiments, 

Ink: Black (Pink Fresh Studios)

Dies: Guiding Light (Spellbinders), Nesting Postages Die (Waffle Flower)

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 will definitely find it on the blog!

You have until Monday at 1 PM EST to get your card entered into this week's challenge!

Have an amazing day!
