Happy middle of the week to you! I’m here today with a mid-week boost to your creativity! We have such a cool sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week. My friend, the uber-talented Jen Mitchell has created this clever sketch for us and the interpretations are going to be such fun! Already the team has all kinds of ideas for you.
I just had to pull out my new Sale-a-bration products once I saw this sketch. Can you believe that I got most of the things on this card for free?? Yes, FREE!!! My favorite price! The background was created with the new Irresistably Yours DSP which comes pre-embossed and ready for you to add ink. I washed on some Bermuda Bay ink that was diluted just a bit by painting it on with a paint brush. Then I stamped the sentiment from Simply Wonderful with Versamark and heat embossed it with Crushed Curry Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I colored inside the Thanks with a Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Write Marker and tied it onto my base with Crushed Curry Baker’s Twine. A few Candy Dots and done. I attached the whole layer to a Whisper White base. Super cute, super fun, super easy!
Back to the craft room today as I try to get some projects ready for the next couple of weeks. Maybe even a video…..gasp! I finally feel like I’m getting back into a groove after all the flying over Christmas. Class schedule is coming soon too. Yes…I’m that behind. I started with a little “spring” cleaning on my blog. I hope you like the new look. I’ve added on some extra buttons and features in my sidebar that I hope help you out.
Ok…I know you have lots of cards to go admire with the rest of the team. Make sure you tell Jen how awesome her sketch is this week! Thanks so much for stopping in. See you soon!

This is so fabulous, Jennifer! I love the way you brushed the card stock. I was trying to figure out what DSP it was! Great card!
