A Basic Birthday– FMS104

Just a quick post today- I hope to be back tomorrow.  This week is busy, busy working on birthday, visitor and baby cards for my church.  I love being able to serve this way.

But I did take time to play in the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  I played a lot when they first started, but got out of the challenge mode.  Now….I am back!  Here is the sketch and my card.  If you take a moment to visit the Freshly Made website, you will find lots and lots of inspiration for your crafting.




I turned the sketch a bit and chose a Clean and Very Simple design.  It is almost monocromatic- one of my favorite color combos.  But, I love Coastal Cabana and our glimmer paper so much, I am adding a touch to almost every card these days.

All supplies are Stampin’ Up!  Shop my store 24/7.
Stamps:  Everything Eleanor, Perfectly Penned; Paper:  Basic Gray, Coastal Cabana cardstock, Silver Glimmer Paper, Coastal Cabana DSP;  Ink:  Basic Gray; Accessories/Tools:  Honeycomb Embossing Folder, Big Shot, 2-1/2”

I hope your Monday is off to a great start.  Our Bible Study group meets on Monday nights…so this a favorite day of the week for me.

Blessings,
Diane

TBT- Autumn Days

Here's a rerun from three years ago today.  And even though most of the Stampin' Up! products have retired, it is still one of my all time favorite cards- especially the color combination.  Fall is my favorite season- because of the beautiful colors and the crisp "football" weather.  Enjoy!

Three challenge cards this weekend….pretty awesome for me!  A terrific bunch of fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators started a new challenge blog called Freshly Made Sketches.  I was out of pocket last week so I missed the first one, but hope to be able to play often from now on.
With fall in the air, I’ve started thinking about my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, so I decided to pull out my Autumn Days stamp set and use my favorite fall colors to make week #2 challenge card.  I used Cajun Craze, More Mustard and Concord Crush along with Naturals Ivory and the brand new rectangle frame embossing folder and also the lattice folder.  Did a little fussy-cutting and added ribbon and twine.  Hope you like.
