Happy Wednesday!! So happy to see you! I am so excited to share with you this wonderful sketch from the amazing Rita Wright. Rita loves layers and this sketch gives so many options for how to layer that focal panel. You will see that the design team has such pretty interpretations and I know you will love playing along this week.
I started this card with one thing in mind…the bow! One of our guest designers this month, the amazing LeAnne Pugliese, created this awesome tutorial on shabby bows. I LOVE these bows and have never quite figured out how to make one. Now I know!! I thought that the Daydream Medallions stamps would be an appropriate style to go with bow. I love Crumb Cake with Razzleberry (let’s face it, I love Crumb Cake with about anything) and I think the colors set just the right tone for the shabby bow. Yes, it really is all about the bow! I added a little detail to the crossing panel with my Adorning Accents Embossing Folder and the sentiment comes from the beautiful Affection Collection set.
I apologize for being mostly absent over the past couple of weeks. I have a check ride (flying test) coming up this weekend. Every 9 months, airline pilots are required to do one of these to prove our worthiness and maintain certification. It is a really big deal and lots of studying is always a good idea. Once that is done, I’ll be able to turn on my crafting brain again and hopefully get some more creating done. I am planning on a fun surprise in the next week with a visit from a guest blogger that you are sure to love!
Until then, I know you will be amazed by the design team and our two guest designers this week! Hop on over to Freshly Made Sketches and take a look! Have a great day!!

It never ceases to amaze me that as a pilot, you have time to craft!!! My BIL is a pilot also, so I understand the commitment it takes! Good luck on your test. Thanks so much for the shout-out on my tutorial too….this card (and bow) is stunning! What beautiful colors! I am sort of stuck on Crumb Cake this week myself!
Absolutely stunning, Jen! That shabby bow steals the show! Good luck this weekend!
Gorgeous card, Jen! That bow is a showstopper for sure! Good luck on your check ride!
It always comes down to the bow! This is a great color combo and the medallion looks fabulous!
Hi Jennifer! Beautiful card and beautiful bow! Good luck on your check ride!
OMG Jen, Your daydream Medallion card is absolutely beautiful. I love the card and your bow is amazing too. This has become one of my favorite sets and I would love to case your card. Just love the colors. Best wishes on your pilot’s test. Hugs, Bev
You nailed that bow! This card is gorgeously clean and fresh. Best of luck on your check ride – although luck probably has nothing to do with it. Hard work and study are probably the keys!
This is just gorgeous Jennifer! Great combination of colours and that bow is perfect!
I love this, Jen! Rich Razzleberry is my favorite SU color and it looks awesome paired with Crumb Cake! That bow is fabuouls! This is an all around WOW card! 🙂
Lovely colour combo. It suits the shabby bow and I like the medallion stamped in two colours. x
What a lovely card – I SO agree about loving Crumb Cake with just about any colour. Beautifully done, and good luck on your test.
