Fresh Flowers and a Celebration with Freshly Made Sketches!

 Hello Friends!  

If you have been around a while, you may remember that several years ago I had the pleasure of designing for one of my favorite challenges, Freshly Made Sketches.  This week, they are celebrating their 700th sketch!  Past designers have been invited to join in and of course, I was honored to say yes. 

Here is this week's sketch~


We are also sharing the very first card we made as a member of the FMS design team.  I still love this monochromatic baby card!


Back to today's card.  This floral image from Penny Black was a 'must have' and I colored it with Copics and fussy cut it out.  The background panel was embossed with a Penny Black embossing folder.  I then layered die cut squares and a die cut circle on top.  I finished off with the flowers, adding some dimension to the flowers.  The sentiment is an oldie but goodie from Creative Worship Stamps.  


Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you get a chance to join in the fun at Freshly Made Sketches!

Blue CHRISTmas

 Hello, Hello!

Well, summer is just about over when you go by the school year calendar (I know officially we have over 4 months to go before Christmas).  Christmas cardmaking has been in full swing here since July.  

I used the sketch at Jingle Belles for this card~



I played with all the things for this card- my very favorite Christmas image-from the Born This Day Stamp Set at Creative Worship Stamps, my new die set from PTI, stenciling with the Diamond Tile Stencil from CWS and Distress Ink.  Image colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  The sentiment is from another favorite CWS set, Holly Christmas.  


I am also linking up to Stencil Fun- anything goes for August as well as the Peace On Earth Challenge-anything goes. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed week!
