Freshly Made Sketches #201- a sketch by Narelle

The Minnesota State Fair started this past Thursday. It is a 10 day event that basically signals the end of summer around here. It goes through Labor day and school starts that next day (for most of the state). This summer has been absolutely wonderful! I hate to see it end, but fall truly is my favorite time of year. I love the colors, the cooler weather and of course Halloween! 

For this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge, I got out the super cute "Acorny Thank You" stamp set from Stampin' Up!'s" holiday catalog. With the last name McNutt, I have to embrace any set with a squirrel or nuts in it. 

Here is my take on the sketch:

Freshly Made Sketches 200!

This week is Freshly Made Sketches 200th sketch! A big thank you to all the members of the design team for all their inspirational sketches. Your sketches have helped me immensely!

I broke down and did a Christmas card for this week's sketch. Even though I think it's way too early to start thinking about Christmas, this sketch had me gravitating to my new Christmas stamps, so I went with it.

For this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge, I finally got around to using the new You've Got This stamp set. I've had it for months now and keep meaning to use it, but never seem to pick it up. Sometimes you just need the right inspiration first, and Karren's sketch felt so perfect for this set.

Freshly Made Sketches #198- a sketch by Cindy L.

I was so excited to play with some of my new products form the Stampin' Up! holiday catalog for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge, but I cannot bring myself to do any Christmas projects yet. This has been such a perfect summer in Minnesota. I do not want to think of the winter to come just yet!
