Weddings are OVER!

Well we survived the 2 weddings in ONE week of our two children!!!! Both were just amazing days and absolutely worth all the stress!!!! But so happy they are over LOL 
Back to normal & boring is just what the doctor ordered!!! 

This weeks sketch stumped me ... the others I had an idea pop in my head right away ... this one not so much. Could have something to do with my scrambled brain!!! This is what I came up with tho.

Here is the link for this weeks challenge FMS 360
Here is the link to the challenge page in general http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/

The sketch for the week was this:

The card I came up with was this:

Once again it was fun trying to play along!! (I'll have to glue that corner down better now that I see the picture lol)

Until next week,

Bride & Groom

  Here comes the bride & the groom!
  One wedding down one to go this weekend! Both of my children are going to be newlyweds this month!! 
  My beautiful daughter got married on October 12th and my handsome son will be married on October 21st!
  
  Playing along with Freshly Made Sketches this week I thought this would be cute, however, I'm not sure it fits their clean card requirement. It does go with the sketch so I'm posting it!

Sketch for this week:

Challenge for myself: Cricut access... I never go in there & to use scraps I hoard and never touch!! Both accomplished! Background paper is a pad I got at WalMart and has been great for backgrounds IMO :)

Here is my card:

Spread love ❤

Until Next Week!

Annnd THIS is what I came up with ;)

  Week 4 for me playing at Freshly Made Sketches. While not many people see what I'm doing it's still fun to try to play along. 

The sketch this week:

  Seeing as how I finished my Christmas cards (previous post) this past week I'm pretty Christmased out! So I thought flowers... sunflowers.... no maybe some fancy flowers. I really don't know. So as I thought about it for awhile I got laundry going and yup there it was, my lightbulb!! Hadn't used this stamp yet and thought fun ... way more fun than the actual laundry I was doing! I hope it fits the sketch for this week and if not it's still kinda cute!  Oh and in case my line doesn't make sense on the inside, it is a simple attempt at a clothesline LOL 
If your reading this thanks for stopping by!

Here it is:

Until next week .... I'll just be going crazy with my 2 kids getting married this week & next! 
Enjoy your day!

Merry Christmas in October!
I finished my Christmas cards today all that's left to do is sign them and address them annnnnd actually get them in the mail box in December!
As far as I know I came up with this card myself I didn't copy anything except I saw the three score lines on a card somewhere one day. 

Overhead view of all of them

Back of the card

I thought they came out kind of cute! The little ornament dangles on some clear thread from his antler! Different designs on the moose using up paper I had!
It was the first time I've used foiling. I attached it on the front of the card.

Tip: if you have a heat press it works great! 300° heavy pressure about 5 seconds.

Until next time,

Happy Fall!

This was probably a bad time of year to start a blog! Going in my craft room has been a good distraction however! 
This is my third week playing along with Freshly Made Sketches!

Their sketch this week:

I went with a fall look! It's funny I've always considered myself a summer girl but I love the fall colors!  Here is my submission ... flower props and all!

This was my second time using the alcohol lift ink pad. In person it is actually very pretty!! I have some super bright lights in my craft room!

I hope you all have a wonderful fall season! 

Until next week,
