Freshly Made Sketches 172 & Yup, Pics!

One more day… one more day… one more day! LOL! I can do it! It was nicer here yesterday, in the 40’s. Not much of the snow melted but at least there was no more! I have an order coming from Stampin’ Up! tomorrow, about time I got some new goodies! I have to take some of it into Manhattan on Saturday for my friend Isabella. I’m looking forward to a little city time. After the city I’m going to have a late lunch with my friend Sue. Saturday is shaping up to be a good day!

Guess what?! I have a few more pictures for you from Leadership! LOL!

Here I am with Jeanne!

And now on to today’s card which is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…

Freshly Made Sketches 172

Yes, I saw the heart and made another Valentine’s card! The base of the card is Whisper White Card Stock and my background is a piece of Very Vanilla that is stamped in Blushing Bride, stamped off once, with the “Vintage” En Français Background Stamp. Across the middle is a piece of Naturals Ivory with a piece of Hemptique Natural Hemp Cord wrapped around and tied in a bow. I used some Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere it to the card. The XOXO is from the Circle Card Thinlits and is cut from a piece of Blushing Bride. I used the Simon Says Stamp Sketch Heart to cut out some Champagne Glimmer Paper and some Designer Series Paper. Hmm.. what DSP is that?! The feather is also a Simon Says Stamp die and it too is cut from Champagne Glimmer Paper. They are both adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Yes, I am still in love with that Sketch Heart and I have missed that En Français Background Stamp! So there is yet another Valentine! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Thanks for stopping by to see the pictures and what I have been up to! Enjoy your Thursday! 🙂
