It's sketch 100 at Freshly Made Sketches! How exciting, right?! To celebrate some of our past designers have come back to play along and there are some prizes up for grabs. Be sure to go over and check it out and then get busy on your card! :) I am LONGING for Fall. Even though we don't get a real one down here in Texas, we do get cooler temperatures. I'm so ready for those as the 90-100 degree days are draining and blah for me. Back to my card... I decided to use my new fall set, Truly Grateful for my card this week to help usher in that cooler weather. We'll see if it works. ;) I'm still deciding on Crushed Curry as a replacement for More Mustard.
Stamps: Truly Grateful
Ink: Early Espresso, Crushed Curry
Paper: Early Espresso, Crushed Curry, Natural Composition DSP, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Naturals buttons, Early Espresso Baker's Twine
Tools: Big Shot, Woodgrain EF
I forgot to mention that we are going retro and doing our very first sketch all over again this week! Do you remember it?!
Laila has been a little better the past few days and we managed to get out of the house on Monday. I'm hoping we can do a quick trip to Kohl's today but that's her least favorite store because of the weird shopping carts. We just need a small crock pot, so that shouldn't take too long, right?! She took a few steps several times yesterday, so we are excited to see her finally doing that. She's not ready to take off just yet, but she's starting to test out the waters a bit more. Jason made risotto for dinner yesterday and she sure loved it!
Fabulous card Rita, I love the papers and colours you used.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall card! I always forget about that wonderful natural composition paper and then you use it and I vow to get it out again!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Rita, she is such a darling!!! Happy she is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteLove your Fall card and the way you stamped on the DSP! Thank you so much for being a part of the inaugural team and for saying "yes". I love your work and admire you as a designer!
Hugs,
Lesley
Beautiful card, Rita, with lots of clean, fresh lines! Love it!
ReplyDeleteFantastic card! I love how you used the Truly Grateful stamp set. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great fall card, Rita! Thank you so much for letting me help celebrate 100 sketches at FMS with you all!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty card, Rita! I love the Natural Composition... it's the perfect backdrop for the images and colors. I'm with you on two counts... I want and need fall weather, and I'm still undecided about Crushed Curry as a suitable replacement for the perfect fall color, More Mustard.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Rita! I love that stamp set! Looks so fabulous!!! Love those colours together!!!! Laila is so adorable! Caleb didn't walk until he was 17 months...I thought I might go crazy!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fabulous fall card Rita! Love the addition of the woodgrain naturals composition paper - it's woodsy feel works so well with your image!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Rita! The best stamp in the catalogue I reckon and you've used it so beautifully. Congratulations on being with the team for 100 sketches - a real achievement!
ReplyDeleteYes, I want Fall to come quickly too! Love your card - that woodgrain background is awesome! And I can't wait to get Truly Grateful off my wish list!
ReplyDeleteLove the card. I've seen lots of the fall cards but you still make it look fresh.
