Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #42

Hello!
Happy Wednesday, Happy Independence Day to my American readers and Happy Birthday to my Father-in-law!  I hope you all have a great day celebrating!

Today also brings us our newest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  This sketch comes to us from the fabulous Jennifer Timko!  I must say my first month on the Freshly Made Sketches design team has been fabulous!  I am so fortunate to be working with such a talented group of card makers!  Jen's sketch was fun to work with and the rectangles made my life a little easier!

I really wanted to use my "Up, Up and Away" set for this one...not sure why but it sat there so lonely looking!!!  I also wanted to get out my new Polka Dot Parade DSP.  I love polka dots so I couldn't wait to give it a try!

Just a little head's up that I won't be blogging much this week.  We have a busy week with lots going on and will need the afternoons to get some of my house work done and the evening to fill quite a few card orders!  Be sure to keep checking back though as I'll try and get a card up later in the week as my Holiday Catalogue Pre-order is scheduled to arrive tomorrow!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Black, Marina Mist, Whisper White
DSP: Polka Dot Parade
Stamps: Up, Up and Away
Ink: Real Red, Basic Black, Bashful Blue
Other: Basic Black Scalloped Dots Ribbon, Dimensionals, Stripes Textured Embossing Folder

Thanks for stopping by!

Up in the Air

Hello!
How was your Valentine's Day?  I had a great day!  It started out by helping out in the Kindergarten class and cooking pancakes while crouching on the floor in the hall!  I made some chocolate covered strawberries for dessert tonight.  They were delicious.  My youngest loved them so much he devoured them stem and all...my husband and I have never laughed so hard!

I wanted to post a picture of the Valentine's Day card I made for my husband!  I also made it for a customer's husband who also loves airplanes!  The Create a Cupcake Punch makes perfect clouds!

I thought I would post a picture of my husband's "baby".  This is his Pitt's Biplane.  He built it himself (from instructions which happened to be in German).  He did an amazing job and this plane has been featured in several Remote Control Airplane magazines!

I should say that my oldest son considers this plane his!  The love of planes runs deep in our family!
