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!

You're A Keeper.....FMS698

 

I received the Tags to Go set this week in my SU! order and decided I had to use it with the FMS sketch this week.  My first assembly of the pieces were very close to the sketch......but then I had to make an adjustment here and an adjustment there .....and die cut just one more thing and switch out the DSP......

I don't have to explain it to you if you are a cardmaker.  It's like the process takes a life of its own and when I'm done I check the sketch and hope I can still see it in my creation!

Our sketches are starting points and are designed to get your creativity flowing! So join us at Freshly Made Sketches and see where your creativity takes you! Kim's sketch was a lot of fun to work with this week!
