Freshly Made Sketches #124- a sketch by Karren

It has been another rotten week of weather in Minnesota, and school was closed again this past Friday. I have lived in Minnesota for most of my life, and I have never have seen this many school closings. We had a ton of snow last Thursday and the roads were still pretty risky today. I cannot wait for some warmer weather. I was trying to be optimistic with my card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge and went with flowers. I hope to see some real ones sometime soon!

 

Here is my take on the sketch:

  

I do truly miss the color Poppy Parade for this stamp. It was the perfect color. Although, Calypso Coral works nicely too.

Freshly Made Sketches #123- a sketch by Jen B.

Another cold week here in Minnesota. I escaped to Las Vegas last weekend for a quick reprieve. Wouldn't you know it was unseasonably cold there too. High 50's felt like heaven to me anyway! We are actually supposed to get up into the upper 30's this week, but after 4 to 5 inches of snow tonight. I'm glad tomorrow is a holiday, and I'll be home with my kids. Hopefully, I can sneak some card making in too. I did get a card done for the week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

Here is my take on the sketch:

 

I didn't realize how hard it would be to photograph the gold foil paper. Using a flash gave off a glare, Not using it made it really dark and muted. I went with my dark and muted photo.

It's Super Bowl Sunday, and I'm scrambling to get my card done for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge before our company comes over!  I'm super excited for tonight's game. I think it's going to be a really great one!

Here is my take on this week's sketch:

I should probably break out of my rut of white on white, but it fits so well for a Valentine card,  I had to do it again.
