I'm enjoying a day just for me...got up early and spent some time in my craft room. I'm playing along with a "new to me" challenge today...
Freshly Made Sketches #117. They had a very cute inspiration sketch this week and although I don't really need an excuse to craft, I do have some new stamps to try out. I just got the Fresh Squeezed Stamps,
Friendly Folk stamp set. This is such a cute set! An even bigger surprise was that they are located in San Diego, CA, very near to my home and I received my stamps the day after I ordered them! Yay!
Here's the sketch we had to work with on
Challenge #117:
I did take a few liberties with the sketch, but I think it is still pretty close to the inspiration photo.
Aren't those sheep cute? I stamped the houses in a very subtle kraft color and added the sentiment from
Friendly Folk. The banner is from Verve (
Pennant Trim Banner), the hearts are from
Lil' Inker's Floating Heart Die. I love that I can have just about any size heart I want using the cut outs from this die.
This card is going to be my anniversary card for my husband next month...#34! You've heard the expression that couples married that long tend to start looking alike...LOL. We aren't quite to that point yet, but we are getting close.
Here's a link to
Freshly Made Sketches #117...you still have a few days left to play along.
