Let's ring in the new year with a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches! My super talented friend Jen Timko is our sketch designer and hostess this week. This was a fun sketch and thankfully an easy one for me. We had a rough New Year's Eve with almost no sleep thanks to some bad neighbors with what seemed like an endless supply of fireworks. Add in teething baby and stamping was a bit of challenge yesterday!
I guess my take on the sketch is a bit weird. I didn't want to do a square card and had the idea for a portrait orientated one in my head when I sat down to work on it. I think it's still close enough to count? Thankfully Jen is a sweetheart so she won't be too upset if I mess up on her sketch. :) I used a few new products that will be available this week, the honeycomb embossing folder and the Real Red Core'dinations paper. Fun stuff there!
Can you believe she turned six months old last week?! Time is going by so fast and she's getting so big.
your card is lovely! Also little Layla is adorable and growing so fast!! Happy New Year to you!!
ReplyDeleteOh all that embossing and texture is wonderful! Love this - and the Pool Party heart looks fab with the red! And 6 months - wow! She is a sweetheart!
