Freshly Made Sketches #360 - A Sketch by Amy

It's been forever since I have posted a card. I have been so busy that I am barely getting cards done for my monthly class, so I haven't been participating in challenges.

Freshly Made Sketches #348 - A Sketch by Jen B

I haven't made a wedding card in a long time, so I thought the sketch for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge would make a great wedding card. 

Here is my take on the sketch: 

Gold Foil is so tricky to photograph. It was an overcast day today, which I think helped, but the foil either is very shiny or so dark you can't tell it's gold.

Stamp sets: Better Together

Cardstock- Very Vanilla, Gold Foil
Designer Series Paper-  

Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black, 
Other- Wood Crate Framelits, Layering Squares Framelits

Freshly Made Sketches #342 - A Sketch by Amy

I have been completely slacking in my card making. I thought that when school ended, I'd have more "me" time, especially since my kids are older. I guess I forgot that you just become a taxi service as they get older 😝!  I just let them sit on the couch today and retreated to my craft room. I have lots of new stuff to play with! I love the new Healing Hugs set and played around with it for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I've had very little time or motivation for card making lately. I was excited to have some time to myself today to get a card done for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge. My motivation was having to actually buy my mother a Mother's day card that cost $7.50. I wish I had found the time to make her one, but I did find one that made her cry!
