Sweet and Simple! FMS63

Rita's sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches is sweet and simple - just the way I like it! And as a result I love the simple homespun look of this card.  My goal is to keep this Christmas season sweet and simple as well.  I know who will make it sweet................so now I have to work on that simple part!

Hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

The Holidays Are Upon Us! FMS 62

And so the season begins this week - the season for thanks and giving.  My plan is to enjoy the holiday season and not get caught up in the chaos!  That means family gatherings and internet shopping!  I don't have to tell you who I am most thankful for this year.......Swimmy Girl herself...........

Jen Mitchell has a wonderful sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

Friendship.............PPA147

Thoreau's words about friendship are lovely but I have a few thoughts of my own to add:  

A true friend gladly makes your son's costume for the school play while you vacation in Florida.  

A true friend stealthily rearranges furniture with you at 2 AM and never wakes anyone up.  

A true friend never complains while you wait for a push out of a snowbank that you attempted to plow through before the plow came through.

And a true friend always has Diet Coke in her refrigerator...............



Margaret's sketch this week at Pals Paper Arts is a fun one!

                                                       

A Christmas Carol - FMS 61

I survived my first day of Emma sitting - and even managed to make a card as well!  Emma was very happy sitting in her bouncy seat in my craft room as long as I kept singing Christmas carols.  You can never be too young to learn the words to "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas!"

This card came together fast thanks to a tip from fellow DT member Rita who said just sponge that Natural Composition paper in any color for a great effect - and she was right!

               
Jen has a great sketch for us today at Freshly Made Sketches!
