Freshly Made Sketches 250

A very happy Saturday to you! It’s a very happy one for me… I’m off today! Yippee! Not that I don’t love being at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store but seven days a week, my house gets very neglected! So what am I doing today… you guessed it! Cleaning! What a fun way to spend the day! NOT! But it needs to be done. I did have a good day yesterday. The morning Card Class was great! Peggy bought her granddaughter Emily and she was fantastic! I snuck out early and met Taylor when I got home. We took a quick ride up to Michaels and she showed me the store reset that they did. Even less scrapbooking and stamping stuff, good for me! Andrew came by around 7:30 and we left to go and have dinner. We were going to go to the Noodle Company but decided to have Swedish Meatballs at IKEA instead! I haven’t had them in a long time! Still delicious and so inexpensive! We wandered around and I got some new sheets and a comforter. On the way home we stopped and got some Carvel and then came back to my house and got all caught up! So good to spend time with Andrew! It’s been way too long!

After Andrew left I sat down and made my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…

Freshly Made Sketches 250

The card starts off with a base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I heat embossed part of my greeting from the Altenew Big World Photopolymer Stamp Set onto a piece of Black 110lb in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder. The rest of the greeting is heat embossed onto a piece of Blue Print Curious Metallic. I adhered the Blue Print to the Black with E-Z Runner and trimmed off the overhang before adhering it to the card base. The globe is from the same set and is stamped in Persian Blue, Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades Crisp Ink using my Mini MISTI. I cut it out with one of the Sizzix Circles Framelits along with a piece of Fun Foam and adhered them both to the card with more E-Z Runner. It wouldn’t be a space themed scene without a overdose of Pretty Pink Posh Gold, Silver, Sparkling Clear, Marshmallow and Cobalt Sequins and a few Studio Calico Wood Veneer Stars! Only Altenew could make a color layering globe look that good! I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge! Thank you for sharing some of my day! Have a super Saturday! 🙂
