Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #541

Hello!

Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  Our rain has tapered off a bit and it looks like the next couple of weeks will be beautiful!  It's been cool and dry here which has been quite lovely!  I went for a hike on the weekend (my husband was on the same trails but biking) and I saw my first grizzly bear!  I was terrified at the time but pretty pumped about it now!  Thankfully it was a good and safe distance away so there was never any real concern but it was amazing to see!  We also saw some deer, a moose, a giant hair and a whole flock of swans!!

We've got a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  I have the honour of being this week's hostess!  I love seeing what you create and I love how different each and every card is!  It's so fun going through the gallery at the end of the week and seeing everyone's beautiful creations!

I picked up this new die set on the weekend!  These little bees were just a little too cute to pass up!  I thought the honeycomb worked perfectly with the sketch!  I originally tried to make a masculine card but failed miserably!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic White, Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Basic Black, Vellum

Stamps: Itty Bitty Birthdays

Ink: Basic Black

Other: Beehive Dies (Sizzix), Stitched Flag Dies, Subtle Texture Embossing Folder, Sequins, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll join in our challenge this week!  Please head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the cards the Design Team has put together to inspire you!  

I can't wait to see the card you come up with this week! 

Have an amazing day!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #272

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  Can you believe that it's almost the end of January?!  Where does time go?  I need to start getting ready for Valentine's Day! I don't necessarily go all out but there are a few cards that need to be finished!  It will be here before we know it!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  Our hostess this week is the lovely Cecile Ribon!  Cecile is the queen of "elements"!  She always has the loveliest die cuts or sequins or whatever else on her cards!  I love them!  Check out her blog and you'll see exactly what I mean!

Now, I can imagine that you saw this sketch and laughed thinking "oh Jen, is going to love that"!  Shockingly no one on the Design Team commented on all the circles!!!  To my surprise, I knew right away what I wanted to do.  I love the circle dies from Lil Inkers and couldn't wait to get those out and some of my favourite colours of cardstock.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Black
Stamps: Birthday Greetings (MFT)
Ink: Stazon
Other: Pierced Rectangle Frames (MFT), Double Stitched Circles (Lil Inkers), Stitched Flags (MFT), Basic Rhinestones, 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 for you!  We can't wait to see what you come up with this week!

Have a fabulous day!
Jen
