Freshly Made Sketches #628

Welcome to a new sketch for the week from Freshly Made Sketches! Our hostess this week is the very talented Narelle! She makes the loveliest things, so be sure to check out her blog (link on the FMS blog above her photo!).


I had so many ideas for layers and texture when I first saw the sketch. But in the end I decided to go with this sweet little guy from the April 2022 kit from Impression Obsession. I used Peeled Paint and Speckled Egg DOX to sponge in my earthy background, and then just stamped in VersaFine Clair Nocturne for my image. I think he's so sweet, and love how some of the images are out of the "box" on all four sides. Sweet and simple and perfect for spring.

This challenge will end at 3:00 EDT time on Monday, March 25, 2024. Don't miss all of the amazing creations from my teammates on the FMS blog to inspire you!

The Flower Challenge #88 - Add a Heart

Hello! After a month off for a holiday break, The Flower Challenge is back with new challenges for 2024!

This month is a fun one - Add a Heart! I love making valentines, and love Valentine's Day. Probably because of all of the fun chocolate! But my favorite color is also pink, so there's that!

Today I am sharing a card made with Spellbinders Sealed Blooms. I also used the retired Postal Cover Panel from Reverse Confetti. My sentiment is from Paper Smooches.

I hope you will join us in the month of February at The Flower Challenge - and welcome our new team member, Vicky, too!

Freshly Made Sketches #621

Welcome to a new sketch for the week from Freshly Made Sketches! Our hostess this week is the lovely Jen T with a trio of shapes down the side.


I grabbed one of my many gel prints that are in a pile of "Will I ever use these?" and die cut three hearts from the Love You Die Set from Queen & Co. (new Kim Mraz/Paper Smooches set!). I used the remaining print as an artsy backdrop on the card base. A heart embossing folder adds texture. 




This challenge will end at 3:00 EST time on Monday, February 5, 2024. Don't miss all of the amazing creations from my teammates on the FMS blog to inspire you!

Oh Happy Day!

Hello! Thank you for visiting my blog! 

Today I have a sweet baby card to share. I made this for first time parents, and it was a very happy day when they found out they were expecting!

I have used products available at Stamp Simply, linked below.

I love the little onesie and all the accessories included in the Welcome Baby Basics Die Set. Everything you need and so many fun dies to make all sorts of cute cards. We finally had a sunny day yesterday after over a week of cloudy, cold, drizzly days, and I was inspired to use fun, spring papers for the sweet baby due in the spring! Don't you love those umbrellas and ducks?

You can find out more about the products I used on the Stamp Simply Blog today!
