Freshly Made Sketches 93 & Big Sneak Peek!

Hello peeps! How is your weekend going so far? Mine is going quite nicely. I was out yesterday in the convertible enjoying the very warm temperatures and the abundant sunshine. Last night I went down to the beach and walked along the boardwalk. There was a nice cool ocean breeze, it was quite blissful! Another very cool thing that happened yesterday, it came…

SU! Convention 2013 Badge

It feels official now! LOL! I’m so excited to go and it will be here before you know it! Now to really get busy. 🙂

Today’s post – Freshly Made Sketches #93, a sketch from Allisa…

Freshly Made Sketches #93

So, today’s card uses all new products from the 2013 Holiday Catalog except for the greeting! The base of the card is Smokey Slate Card Stock and the background is a piece of paper from the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper Stack*. A piece of Pool Party goes across the middle with some Silver 1/8″ Ribbon*. The snowflake is from the Festive Flurry Stamp Set* and is stamped in Bermuda Bay and cut out with the Festive Flurry Framelits Dies*. In the middle is Frosted Finishes Embellishment* and the picture doesn’t do it justice as to how sparkly and gorgeous it is! I backed it with some Whisper White and Costal Cabana and adhered it to the card with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Embellished Events Stamp Sets and is stamped in Bermuda Bay. I love the new goodies in the Holiday Catalog and I’m sure that you will too. You can order from it starting August 1st! Thank you, as always, for coming by to see my Freshly Made Sketches card for this week’s challenge. I hope that you have a great Sunday and I’ll see you back here tomorrow for my Paper Players card. 🙂
