I had a great time on Saturday – World Card Making Day (#wcmd2021) with a friend. We made Christmas & holiday cards all the while catching up with each other’s lives. It was fun, relaxing and productive. She left with 8 sets of cards (4 each) so that’s 32 cards!! Not bad for an afternoon […]
Freshly Made Sketches
Christmas “Paws” card
I’m starting my Christmas cards early this year! The last few years I’ve had great intentions, but somehow December rolls around and I haven’t started making them! Since we still aren’t traveling I don’t have much to do other than make cards! LOL. I have over 20 cards designed so far. Maybe it’s time to […]
Fall simplicity for FMS503 sketch
I love creating cards each week with the Freshly Made Sketches. Whenever I get stuck for an idea I go there for inspiration – works every time! I already had several cards planned in my head earlier in the week and was surprised to see this week’s sketch matched my idea cards. The design team […]
Peaceful Prints & FMS502
I’m jumping on today to share another quick Christmas card I created this weekend with the Sale-A-Bration Peaceful Prints DSP. I used the FMS502 sketch as a guide for my layout. My card came together quickly (like it usually does when I use a sketch as inspiration). I used a Cherry Cobbler cardbase and dry […]
Memories of Yesterday for FMS482
My cousin’s wife’s adult son died last week after battling heart problems most of his life. I know it’s been so hard for her and her grandsons, and I wanted to send her a sympathy card. As I was contemplating my card design, I saw this week’s FMS482 sketch. I thought it was such a […]
Oh dear, another dear pet loss card for FMS470 challenge
I’m sad that for two weeks in a row I’m posting my FMS card as a pet condolence card. I hope that this doesn’t become a common occurrence. One of my sister’s dear dog Lacy finally left this world for pet heaven. Lacy was always racing around and so excited to see me even up […]
FMS469-Approaching Perfection for a birthday
I love the new Approaching Perfection stamp set from Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-Bration! I’ve used it on a number of cards already, and I’m sure it will be one of my most used stamp sets for a while! I waited for this week’s FMS469 so I could create another birthday card with this stamp set! Another […]
Paw prints on your heart
My husband and I walk every morning and we cross paths with a neighbor running with his two dogs. We always greet each other and the dogs, it’s been the highlight of day during our social isolation. We’ve missed seeing them recently and this week we learned why. One of them died from cancer over […]
Fall card redos – another class card remake
As I was explaining last week (see post here), I’m trying to finish projects “from by-gone days!” I took leftover card kit pieces from several fall card kits I had to create these cards using the Freshly Made Sketch templates as inspiration. As I’ve said many times, if you need inspiration, go see FMS or any […]
