Freshly Made Sketches #38

June 6, 2012 Jentimko 26 Comments

The fantastic Linda Callahan of Stampin’ Seasons has brought us this week’s sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. I love this sketch for all its possibilities and it was so easy to use. It was so much fun having the surprise hop for Rita last week. This week we continue the fun with the addition of new members to the design team. Lesley has put so much talent in one place and you will be so impressed with this week’s team cards. How lucky I am to be in the company of such wonderful stampers!

I guess this week is one of surprises for moms-to-be. My oldest son’s teacher is pregnant and the parents threw her a surprise baby shower in the class yesterday. We played the baby diaper game (which the kids thought was hilarious) and a few other guessing games. Such fun! I just got this new set, Betsy’s Blossoms, and its coordinating Floral District DSP. I am in love with this bird and the whole stamp set is bold and fresh looking. It seems that between this DSP and the Summer Smooches DSP that Rich Razzleberry is becoming one of my go-to colors for the summer. It has never been a favorite of mine but right now I can’t get enough of it!! I used some Daffodil Delight Seam Binding for the bow and Teeny Tiny Wishes for the sentiment. The little bird is fussy cut and put up on Dimensionals.

I hope you can join us this week for the latest sketch. Make sure you drop by and welcome the latest members to the team. They will be with us through December 2012 and I know I look forward to how they will inspire us every week!

On a personal note, I am back to flying and my stamping has been a bit curtailed. I will post as often as I can but the summer flying schedule is sure to be full. My boys are also out from school at the end of the week and the summer activities are beginning. I love hanging out with them but, again, my stamping time tends to fall off. Worth every bit of time with them though!! So glad you stopped by today. Thanks so much!

Stamps: Betsy’s Blossoms, Teeny Tiny Wishes; Paper: Floral District DSP, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White; Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Lucky Limeade; Accessories: Daffodil Delight Seam Binding, Brights Buttons, White Baker’s Twine, Dimensionals

Wow …. summer fun colours …. this is such a happy card Jen, love the white space and gorgeous yellow bow!

Lush colors, fun bird sitting on a branch (I wouldn’t have thought of that!), and yummy DSP!

What a bright, beautiful card, Jennifer! I love Rich Razzleberry, but never thought about using it with Daffodil Delight! They are gorgeous together! The baby shower sounds like fun and I’m sure is a wonderful memory for the teacher and the children.

Absolutely gorgeous card, Jen! Love the clean, simple image and fabulous color choice. And I totally hear you on the limited stamping time with the kiddos home… I’m hoping I can squeeze some time in here and there, but who knows! Enjoy having your kiddos home. 🙂
