Freshly Made Sketches #267- a sketch by Jen T.

A snowstorm and bitter cold in Minnesota has me longing for spring already. I used pastels and dragonflies for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge to keep me from becoming depressed from our weather. Luckily, it's supposed to warm up over the next few days!

Here is my take on the sketch:

Freshly Made Sketches #143- a sketch by Cindy L.

My family had a pretty low key 4th of July weekend, so I was able to get into my craft room and play around a bit. For this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge, I originally was going to do a 4th of July card, but I veered from that track and went floral.

Freshly Made Sketches #140- A sketch by Linda C.

I was very excited to get my Stampin' Up! order this week with all new product from the 2014-2015 annual catalog. I was really excited to use the new Flower Patch bundle, and thought I it would work well for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I was so excited that I even did the challenge right away, instead of waiting for the last minute on Sunday!

Here is my take on the sketch:

At first, I thought I'd stamp the flowers and then use the framelits to cut them out, but I went with just using the framelits to cut the flowers and only stamping the center of the flower. I think it would've ended up too busy with a stamped flower too. I also used the Work of Art set again.  The possibilities are endless with that set.

Freshly Made Sketches #139- a sketch by Rita

I really wanted to play with some of the new stuff from the 2014-2015 Stampin' Up! annual catalog, but my order doesn't arrive until Tuesday. I have some products that I got during our pre-order and catalog premiere, so I guess that will have to do. I used the new Work of Art set for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I predict this will be a very popular set!
