thank you ~ fms136

A quick card to share with you that I created using the newest challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches.

I used some new papers, chipboard and rub-ons by Pebbles, Inc., from the Garden Party collection.

Sorry about the quality of the photo I used my iPhone instead of my usual camera today.

Here is a look at the sketch.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

oh shoot ~ fms127

(this is my second post for today, scroll down for some exciting news)

I love a clean and simple sketch and I found the perfect one at Freshly Made Sketches this week.

I still had this Amy Tangerine paper on my desk from a card I did earlier and thought the camera theme was perfect for the sentiment.

I am still in my honeymoon stage with Vellum and embossing powders so they too were my go to items on this card. Add a little wood veneer and I am one happy camper.

remember this moment ~ fms126

I picked up a new paper collection and couldn't wait to use it on a card.

I have to admit that I love any and everything that Maggie Holmes creates and adding the Crate Paper name to it is all the better.

I used Freshly Made Sketches sketch of the week.

brrrr ~ FMS120

I am hibernating in my craftroom today as it is way too cold to go outside. Woke up to -17 temp and -40 something with the windchill.

I played along with this weeks sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches. Love the banner and the butterfly on the sketch so had to play along.

I pulled out my Crate Paper 'close knit' collection along with my Memory Box Terrace Butterfly cling stamp and die.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

always there ~ FMS119

A quick card to share with you that I created this morning using this week sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. 

I used this silk flower that I made awhile ago that has been sitting on my desk as well as papers by My Minds Eye from the sweetest thing collection. 

The colors in my photo are a little off, the leaves are a chartreuse green vellum but look a lot like yellow in the photo and the enamel dot in the center of the flower is a pink color but looks white here. Not sure what I did with the photo but I am too lazy to rephotograph and start over.  

I love the angle in the sketch. I have been noticing them a lot in the card world lately.

joy ~ MM#90 and FMS118

This past year was the first time in forever that I had to buy Christmas cards to mail out as I had not made enough.

I plan on changing that this coming year. I will be trying to find all the Christmas/Holiday card challenges out there so I can build up my stash.

I am entering this card into the Merry Monday challenge #90

I am also entering this into the FMS118 sketch challenge.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me. And please if you leave a comment make sure I can do the same so leave your email address.

Mojo Returned ~ FMS117

I have been staring at the final sketch from 2013 at Freshly Made Sketches for what seems like forever and finally today it all clicked.

I loved the sketch the moment I saw it and instantly created my vellum banner and then the Mojo was gone until today.

I love a CAS card and this sketch was all that and more.

Here is a look at my finished card.

Don't you just love when a design or idea finally comes together? I used the love from a Maggie Holmes ephemera pack and a Sizzix embossing folder.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me. ~ hugs Sherry ~

believe ~ fms#111

I worked on a few cards this morning for some upcoming design team post and also found time to play along with sketch #111 over at Freshly Made Sketches.

For my card I used papers by Heidi Swapp and the tree element is by Fancy Pants. You can't really see it but I embossed 'believe' in gold glitter in the lower right corner. Should have went with black but too late now.

thank you ~ FMS109

A quick card to share that I created using some new paper and chipboard that my friend Amy sent to me for my birthday. 

I have been telling her how much I love this Persimmon collection by BasicGrey and she picked it up for me.

I was inspired by this weeks sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

and twinkle on ~ FMS108

Just a quick card to share that I created this morning before I headed out to the pumpkin patch.

I used Crate Papers 'sleigh ride' collection along with my McGill branch punch and some enamel dots. The sentiment is by Technique Tuesday.

I used this weeks Freshly Made Sketch for my layout.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

thoughts of you ~ fms70

A quick card for you today that I created for this weeks sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches.

I am trying to use up a some of my older stuff and this card uses one of my oldest BasicGrey collections 'stella ruby'. It is probably one of my all time favorite collections as well. 

The butterfly is from the Crate Paper 'random' collection and the sentiment is Paper Smooches.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.
