Freshly Made Sketches #214- a sketch by Jen T.

It was so nice to have a few relaxing days off from work this week. The last 2 months have been so busy, it was nice to just decompress for a few days. Luckily, we had a dusting of snow, and the kids wanted to be outside in it. We are supposed to get 2-5 inches tomorrow night, so they will really be happy. Those of us that have to drive in it will not enjoy it as much! 

For this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge, I decided to do one more Christmas card. I'm getting kind of burnt out on Christmas cards already. I'm super excited for the Stampin' Up Occasions catalog preorder that starts in a few days. I'm longing for some pastels already!

When I saw this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge, I immediately wanted to try out the technique of stamping on the Woodland textured impressions embossing folder. I love how it makes whatever you stamp on it look like it's behind the trees.

Freshly Made Sketchs #211- a sketch by Karren

My October was so crazy busy! Since I was only able to get one challenge done last month, I was determined to get going for November. I snuck in some time this weekend to get this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge done. 

Here is my take on the sketch:

Every time I use gold accents, I have a heck of a time photographing them. I tried turning the flash off, and that didn't help, so I don't know how to make them look any better.
