Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #462

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  Have you started decorating for Christmas yet?  I put up my Christmas village on the weekend.  It's a long, tedious process and I tend to do it early so that I can get it done and enjoy it.  The rest of the decorations will need to wait until at least next weekend.  I can't have my tree up that long without going crazy!!  Plus I kinda think Sprite the cat will undecorated the tree this year.  She's a toad!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess this week is the world famous fussy cutter Narelle Farrugia!  Narelle's cards are always gorgeous!  Head on over to her blog to check them out!  

So, I stared at this sketch for a while.  A long while.  I tried one thing and then another and didn't feel inspired.  I figured it was just because I was tired.  Anyhow, I knew I needed to make it Christmassy because I'm still behind on my Christmas cards so I tried pine trees first and when they wouldn't work I went with ornaments.

I realized after I stuck the ornaments on and glued on the sequins that I probably should have embossed the background but it was late and I was tired and so the card is how it is! I'm keeping it simple today people!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Silver Foil

Stamps: Christmas Gleaming

Ink: Basic Black

Other: Ornament Gleaming Punch Pack, Sequins, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you'll head on over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the amazing cards there!  Honestly, I am pretty sure this is the best Design Team ever!  Okay, so it's the only one I've ever been on, but I'm pretty sure it's the best one!

We can't wait to see what you create this week!

Have an amazing day!

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  How's your week starting?  Our week started with a pile of SNOW!  I must say I am not impressed.  We normally don't get this much snow until after Christmas down in Southern Ontario.  I hate snow.  Yes, I'm Canadian, born and raised but I really don't like snow or cold.  I guess I also don't like the thoughts of having 6 more months of winter.  My family however is over the moon with the snow!  Strange lot they are!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the incredible Kim Singdahlsen!  Kim's cards are always amazing!  I love her creativity.  Head over to her blog and check out her beautiful creations!

Okay so I'm sure you can guess how many times I had to make this card before I made one I liked!  I'm still not totally impressed with the finished product!  I do need a few more Christmas cards so I'm trying to get those done.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Gray Granite, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White
DSP: Festive Farmhouse
Stamps: Christmas Gleaming, Bright Hopes
Ink: Versamark, Cherry Cobbler
Other: Ornament Gleaming Punch Pack, Hammered Metal Embossing Folder, Silver Embossing Powder, 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!  You will totally be inspired to join in our challenge this week!

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I'm so sorry that this post is late coming to you!  Normally I do my posts Tuesday evening but we were without power last night, for a LONG time and I wasn't able to get on the internet!  Anyhow, power is back, all is well and I need to get this post done!!!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing Judy Rozema!  Judy's cards are just gorgeous!  I love her design style!  It's so fun!  Head over to her blog to check it out!!!

I love the new ornaments in the Christmas Gleaming stamp set.  They are so fun to work with and I knew they would work perfectly with this sketch.  I actually made several cards with them!  I opted for some copper embossing powder in the second and third cards!  I love that powder!!  I was trying to figure out how many different cards I could make with this stamp set!!!

Cardstock:  Whisper White
