Feeling Better....FMS702

 

My computer got out of the hospital in the nick of time to get this FMS card posted before we go live!  I only use my computer to blog once a week so I am glad it was an easy fix for under $100!  I am not a computer savvy person so the computer guy just took out the trash - got rid of everything I do not need and updated.  Also got rid of Norton Virus Protection - he said I don't need it at all for what I do.....which is probably a polite way of saying "I have no clue what this card thing is you have going on but you don't need to pay for Norton - the built in Microsoft protection is fine!"

So since my computer is feeling better I am feeling better - and definitely not so grumpy!  We had a great time at the county fair this week - always a fun outing before school starts.....and this is always a favorite ride.....

Cecile has a great sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

A New Century of Sketches......FMS701

 

And we are off into the 700's here at Freshly Made Sketches! I am limping along here with a very tired and uncooperative computer that will be headed to the shop this week.....hoping things are back on track next week for Sketch 702. This is my second computer since I started at FMS  700 sketches ago so it may be time for an update! 

 My trees this week are from Gina K's new set called O Christmas Tree and I found a piece of metallic card stock in my stash that was perfect with the funky trees! 

Hope you have fun with Jen Brum's trio this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

Celebrating 700!.....FMS700

 

Wow 700 Challenges are definitely worth celebrating! Seems like a huge number and it is stunning to me that I have made so many cards over the years!  I used the Cheers and Sips set with coordinating DSP to create my celebratory card for this week's challenge.

Way back in September of 2011 Leslie launched Freshly Made Sketches and I was delighted to be part of the original FMS Team! This is the very first card I made for Challenge #1! I think I need to break out the buttons and twine again!

And this is my daughter's birthday card I made way back in December of 2011.....sketch number 14 for FMS which we brought out of the archives to use again today! 

We have some former DT members returning this week to celebrate this milestone.  Hope you join the party as well at Freshly Made Sketches!

Happy Campers......FMS699

 

Ohhh summer nights and campfires - nothing better! Lots of stars, fireflies and marshmallows to roast make for a perfect evening.  Bug spray helps too! 

The card came together quickly thanks to Verena's great sketch.  And that was good for me since I have had company all week! It has been great catching up with old friends.  Hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches!
