Freshly Made Sketches 466 - You are simply wonderful

 Hello!

Happy New Year! Wishing you all a fabulous 2021!

I'm hoping that 2021 will see me return to my art and my cardmaking, and in that spirit I decided to start the year off the way I hope to continue, by making a card!

To find some inspiration I took a wander through some challenge blogs and found a lovely sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. Here is my card:

Stamp set is SU Bloom & Grow, coloured with Copics.

This is the sketch:

Freshly Made Sketches 284 - I Adore You

Hello!

This week-end my eldest daughter is away at music camp and my youngest daughter is lazing away her Sunday, leaving me with a little extra crafting time. I wish my mojo would jump to attention when I get spare time, but sometimes it takes a few cards before it returns, haha!

I made a card for Freshly Made Sketches 284. My original card was one-layer, but there were some unfixable smudges, so I got creative to save what I could. ;-) I love it in its new format as well.

I used Altenew Adore You stamps and coloured with Copics.

I'm also joining in with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where the theme is Showers and/or Flowers.

Thanks for coming to visit me!

A missed deadline...

Hello!

On the week-end I made a card for Freshly Made Sketches, but when I went to enter I thought it was closed. After checking back, I discovered that I was looking at the list of sponsors' design team entries, not the challenge entries. By then, the link had really closed, sigh! Next time I need to scroll further down to make sure I'm at the right spot in the page! After all that, I decided to share my card anyway. ;-)

I used my brand new set SU! Garden in Bloom. I love this set. I have another card coming up using it later this week.

Tomorrow is my littlest girl's 8th birthday. I still need to make a card... and ice some cupcakes... and wrap some presents. I'd better get cracking!

Thanks for coming to visit!

Christmas in June?

Hello!

I've been thinking it is about time to start making Christmas cards. Last year I almost exhausted my supplies. If I don't start now I'll never have enough for this year! I've been wanting to join in over at MUSE Christmas Visions, and finally I have done it. Yay!

I used SU! Dasher with a Mama Elephant sentiment. The background is sponged distress ink and glimmer mist. It's nice and "Twinkle-y". :-)

My inspiration came from the MUSE Christmas Visions card by Betty.

I took the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

So, one card down, about one hundred left to make. ;-)

Thanks for visiting!
