Freshly Made Sketches #254- a sketch by Narelle

I had a super busy week because my husband was out of town. Always harder to manage the kid' schedules when I'm by myself. We also surprised our kids with a weekend trip to Wisconsin Dells, so I had no time to get much crafting done. I sneaked in a bit of time tonight to get a card done for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Had to get it done before the big Packer-Viking game. We live in Minnesota, but it's a Packer household. Go, Pack, Go!

Here is my take on the sketch:

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!

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.
