Hi all! Sorry for the long quiet. I was out in Denver for some training. I’m sure you are not surprised that the airlines are having a lot of difficulties. A year ago I moved to a wide body (international) fleet and now I have been moved back to my old airplane. But I am grateful that, through the sacrifice of all the pilots at United, we have held off furloughing. And I do love my Airbus! With that, I’m back to stamping a bit and I’m the sketch hostess this week for Freshly Made Sketches.
I also get to share a sneak peek of a new Erin Lee Creative stamp set called Winter Florals that will be released on October 17th. The flower and the sentiment are both from the set. For the background, I used the Houndstooth Background. I love this background for a holiday card…so just expect to see more of it!
I hope you enjoy my sketch this week. I think it has a bit of a classic vibe and one that is easy for many kinds of cards. The team has created beautiful inspiration as always. It is nice to be back and I’m glad you stopped in today.

This is so pretty! I love the houndstooth background. Those flowers are gorgeous. Great sketch this week!
I love the houndstooth and the pretty flowers! I hope the training has been going well and that you’ll be back in the air soon.
The b/w houndstooth is perfect behind the sweet flowers! Beautiful card! Mike just returned from training as well and will start flying the end of this week. And thanks for the great sketch!
I really like this sketch and the card that you made with it is beautiful.
Very nice card. The color scheme is so striking. I like those colors together.
Out of all the cards this week, yours is my favorite. I LOVE that houndstooth pattern!!! Paired with that gorgeous red flower, this card is a WINNER!!!
This card is so pretty! I just love that houndstooth background and the beautiful flowers! The black and red are so elegant together! Just love it! The airlines and oil and gas have been hit so hard and with so many layoffs. It’s been tough for so many people.
Hi Jen,
Just a quick note to thank you for a great sketch and let you know that I took my inspiration totally from your gorgeous card. The flower images are so pretty and elegant paired with the houndstooth.
Glad things are working out for you, it must be hard with all the changes going on.
The houndstooth works so beautifully with the gorgeous red flowers! Such a fabulous card and a wonderful sketch!
