Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #512

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  How are we more than halfway through November?  How is your Christmas shopping going?  I'm at a complete loss this year.  My kids don't really want anything this year.  It's so weird.  I feel so behind.  I am giving myself a week to get my act together!!  We shall see!

We have a fantastic new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the fabulous and fellow mountain dweller, Kim Singdahlsen! Kim's cards are always amazing so you'll want to head over to her blog to check them out!

So I had a vision of what I wanted to do.  It was spectacular in my mind but I could not get it to work.  Sadly.  Sometimes the mojo just isn't flowing!  I need to get some Christmas cards done and this was the perfect time to tackle that job!  

I do love the poinsettia dies and opted just to use the smallest one to create my poinsettia!  I paired it with the Painted Christmas paper and some glimmer paper I had left in my stash!  

Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic White, Real Red, Silver Glimmer, Silver Foil

DSP: Painted Christmas

Stamps: Star of Light

Ink: Black

Other: Poinsettia Dies, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches page and check out the cards created by the Design Team!  You won't be disappointed!

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #504

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  We are counting down the days until a big hike on Saturday!  We can't wait.  Okay, my husband I can't wait.  It's going to be a huge ordeal and the kids are going to express their discontent the entire way but I know the view at the end is going to totally be worth it and that is what makes it amazing!  

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the fabulous Karren Johnson!  Karren is one of the most amazing card makers that I know!  All the rest of those amazing card makers are also on this team!!  Please head to her blog and check out her gorgeous cards!  

So I had wanted to make a fall card.  I had a plan in my head but it didn't quite come to fruition.  Go figure!  I decided to go for the pine cones and pine boughs instead.  The first time I used this die set I decided I wasn't sure I wanted to use it too often.  But...I tried something different and it worked awesomely.  I wish the green yardstick layer had a bit of texture but alas.

Supplies:

Cardstock: Evening Evergreen, Real Red, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz, Basic White

DSP: Painted Christmas

Stamps: Christmas to Remember

Ink: Early Espresso

Other: Christmas Pinecone Dies,  Gold Rhinestones, Dimensionals
