Happy New Year

Happy New Year!! I managed to make cards the week both of my kids got married but somehow didn't find time during the holidays! I hope to play along this year as much as possible!

This is something I worked on. My husband said with the kids being married now they don't need piles of gifts we stopped getting tons of stuff after we got married LOL plus we just paid for a wedding and a honeymoon!!! So we tried to make it cute!

Our normal is wrapping gifts one paper per kid and write tiny, tiny numbers on them somewhere then I tell them a number to find and open. These snowmen had their names on the buttons and the stick hands held their "couples gift".

Your only here for the Freshly Made Sketch of the week  So I'll stop babbling :)

Here is this weeks sketch:

 Here is my take and I'll admit it is last minute and quickly done! 

You're knot that old! 

Until next week

Off they go!

 My son and his new wife left today for their 2 week cruise honeymoon! They had to wait for football to be over. He coaches high school football.  I hope they have beautiful weather. 
  I went out and had lunch with a friend I haven't seen in over a year so that was nice. When I got home I played in my craft room.  I made a pop up box card I saw in a video super cute. I said last week I'd post a picture of my husbands birthday card but it got tossed before I remembered (I tossed it) he says I don't make him fancy cards I told him that's because they take a lot of time to just see you look at it and then I throw it away!! I made a cute pyramid card with magnets to hold it upright ... it was different! 
Sooooo anyhow here is my card for this week at freshlymadesketches

My card:

The black background makes it look super crooked oh well that's it lol 

Until next week!

"Keep it"

Another week another card!
 We have gotten some bad news both family and a friend this week. I thought I'd send this to my friend and on the inside say "Keep it!" and write a nice note to her.  She is one of my most favorite people to send cards to because she just truly appreciates it. She says I always know when she needs a smile.

Here is the sketch for this week:

Here is my submission: 

It was pretty difficult to get a photo with the embossing powder on both the gold & black so I put it on the easel and did the best I could lol. My 2 left side pieces are a little off from the sketch but I thought it looked better in that small blank space.

So until next week ... "Keep it"
