Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week!  Pepsi is adjusting very well to life here and you'd think she'd been here her whole life!  Sometimes I wonder if she's a dog!  Let's just say gracefulness isn't her strong suit!!  The kids sure love her though and she loves it when they get home from school and play with her!

We have a great new sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  Our hostess this week is the talented and extremely creative Jen Mitchell!  Jen creates beautiful cards and tags!  You'll want to head over to her blog to check it out!  We also have a great new look at the Freshly Made Sketches blog so make sure you get over there to check it out!

I didn't really know what to do this week for a card.  I decided a Christmas card would be in order.  I started with one colour theme and then ended up with navy and silver.  I tired to be different but I just couldn't do it!  You can all be thankful it's not black and white!!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Night of Navy, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer, Silver
Stamps: Star of Light
Ink: Versamark
Other: Silver Embossing Powder, Silver Sequins, Starlight Thinlits, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals

Thanks again for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out our new design and the fabulous new cards the design team has created for you!!!

Have a fabulous 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

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have time to head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the beautiful cards the Design Team has created for you!  You will be inspired!

Have a fabulous day!
