Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #363

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  We had our first dusting of snow yesterday.  I wasn't too impressed.  You see, though I've lived in Canada my whole life and have spent every single winter surrounded by cold and snow, I truly believe in my heart of hearts that I really am Hawaiian and need to spend my winters where it's a consistent and lovely temperature with relatively low humidity!!!!  My family totally disagrees with me though! Oh well....

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is one of our amazing leaders Jen Timko!  Jen makes gorgeous cards.  She is a colouring guru and an ink master!!  Please had over to her blog to check out her creations!

I kinda knew what I wanted to make when I started creating this card.  It just took me a really long time to get there.  I don't know why.  I kept getting distracted and trying different colours and different papers and finally this is what I settled on!  Very simple.  Very, very simple.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Kraft
Patterned Paper: Festive Farmhouse
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree,  Star of Night
Ink: Versamark
Other: White Embossing Powder, White Bakers Twine, Glass dots, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the amazing cards the girls have created as your inspiration!

Have a fabulous day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #262

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  The weather we've been having here has been so beautiful that it doesn't feel like November at all.  It's been fabulous!  I wish it wouldn't end but soon (too soon) we will start the slippery slope into winter!

Being Wednesday, we have a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  I am excited to be this week's hostess.  Being the sketch creator can be very nerve wracking since you're never too sure how people will feel about your sketch.  I decided to keep it simple and even threw a circle on there to add some spice!

I had this snowflake sitting on my desk from a card I wanted to make before.  It was just too pretty to leave sitting there another week so I decided I would use that as my circle!  Honestly, I love that copper.  It is just such a lovely colour!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Copper Glimmer Paper, Copper Shiny
Stamps: Star of Light
Ink: Versarmark
Other: Star of Night Thinlits, Softly Falling Embossing Folder, Copper Embossing Powder, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog to see the amazing cards the Design Team has created for you!  You will not be disappointed!
I can't wait to see what you come up with this week!

Have a great day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #251

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're enjoying your week!  To my American readers, I hope your kids have made it back to school and are enjoying their new year so far!  My kids don't go back until September 7th which seems like it's really far away but there are only two weeks left and they will fly by!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week courtesy of the lovely Cindy Hall!  I love Cindy's cards!  She is so creative and creates some amazing backgrounds for her cards!  I have background envy!!!

Cindy's sketch stumped me for a bit but I was in a bit of a rush so I had to throw the card together quickly.  Sometimes pressure works for me, other times it doesn't!  I wanted to give the new Star of Night stamp set and dies a try.  They are so lovely and perfect for Christmas!  You'll want to get your hands on these babies!

I used some silver glimmer cardstock and some regular silver cardstock.  Every card needs some glimmer!  I added some Wink of Stella to the stars too.  I mean, can you really have too much glimmer?!  My oval is is a string of silver thread!  I am not good at creating random circles or ovals with thread but it's a learning process right?

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Silver Glimmer, Silver, Night of Navy
Stamps: Star of Night
Ink: Night of Navy
Other: Stitched Rectangles, Starlight Thinlits, Wink of Stella, Silver Thread, Dimensionals
