Freshly Made Sketches # 14

Here is my card for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #14:

I just love this weeks sketch! I had so many ideas I wanted to use with this card, and I finally decided that I would use my favorite stamps set from the Holiday Mini Catalog which is You Are Loved. And I got a little creative again and partnered it with the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper. I finished it off with some Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon and there you have it. I love how the card is so soft and dainty. What do you think? Am I making you fall in love with this stamp set as much as I did? It really is very versatile!

It was a busy, but wonderful, week. I finally got my card made and wanted to share it with you. I decided that I wanted to use the tree for my shape instead of the circle. Sweet and simple this week, what do you think?

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #11

Here is my card for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #11:

This card has very little layers so it would make the perfect Christmas card for mailing. Often when I do very little layers I will emboss the base card to give the card more depth. For this one I embossed it using the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. My focal point is Dasher and I embellished the card with Basic Rhinestones; some plain and some that I colored with permanent markers.

Here is a close up of the Basic Rhinestones. Ever since I learned that it is possible to color them I am constantly asking myself if I can color a rhinestone to go with the card. I hope you enjoy it!

Here is my card for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #10:

This weeks sketch is pretty simple so I decided to step it up a bit by adding a little Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon and one of the Spice Cake Designer Buttons that coordinate with the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper. This paper is so in right now; I see if everywhere and I just love it!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #9

Today I would like to share with you a new sketch challenge that I have chosen to participate in. I've found that I make my best creations and have the most fun creating when I'm doing a challenge. So, I've been looking around at some of the various blogs and I have my eye on a few that I think I just may try. Here is one of them.....

Here is my card for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge # 9:

Now, this may look like a pretty simple layout, however I actually had a bit of trouble getting started. I ended up designing my card around the Filigree Brads on either side. I then choose the Denim Jean Ribbon as I've been wanting to use this on a card lately. After staring at the brads and ribbon for a while a little bit of country came into my mind so I went with the Countryside stamp sent. Finished with the "thank you" from the Delightful Dozen stamp set and there you have it. My first creation for the Freshly Made Sketches! What do you think?
