Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #461

Hello!

Happy Wednesday and Happy Remembrance Day!  I hope everyone is having a great week!  I also hope that today you'll take a minute to stop and be thankful for the freedom that we have.  Regardless of whether you live in Canada, the US or abroad, most of us are so very fortunate to live freely and in safety. Today we will remember those that fought and continue to fight for our freedom and the freedom of others!  

We have an amazing new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the amazing Karren Johnson!  Karren is so talented and every week she knocks it out of the park with her cards!  Head over to her blog and check them out!

 I recently purchased the In The Pines stamp set and the coordinating Pine Woods dies.  I had seen Narelle make too many amazing cards that I decided I needed these stamps and dies!  Of course when I got them and attempted to make a card, it was a disaster.  This was an "under the wire" card.  Nothing like trying to find good lighting in your house when it's pitch black outside!!!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black

DSP: Plaid Tidings

Stamps: In the Pines, Star of Light

Ink: Basic Black

Other: Pine Woods Dies, Softly Falling Embossing Folder, Sequins, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to be inspired by the ladies and their beautiful cards!  

Have a fantastic week!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #454

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great start to your week!  I can't believe we're officially into fall!  Fall is my favourite season.  I love decorating, the colours, the smells and the cool nights!  There are some people that get excited to decorate for Christmas, for me it's fall.  I could totally leave up my pumpkins all year round!!  

We have a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Our hostess is the amazing Jacquie Southas!  Jacquie is one of our colouring queens and always creates the most amazing cards!  Head over to her blog to check them out!

One would think that this is a straight forward sketch.  It seems straight forward right?  Not for this girl.  I've felt very uncreative lately.  Like really, really uncreative!  Anyhow, I struggled to figure out what I wanted to make for this card.  I wanted a fall card - I just can't help it! You know me and fall! Needless to say, the plaid tidings DSP was sitting there and it won!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Cajun Craze, Whisper White

DSP: Plaid Tidings

Stamps: Fall Foliage (Reverse Confetti)

Ink: Basic Black, Memento Black

Other: Fall Foliage Dies, Copper Thread, Tasteful Texture Embossing Folder, Stampin Blends, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll take some time and head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog!  You will love the cards the Design Team ladies have created!  

We can't wait to see what you come up with for our challenge!

Have an amazing day!!
