Challenge -- Freshly Made Sketches #36

I seem to need challenges to get me in my craft room these days!!  Freshly Made Sketches has a great one this week and I struggled with it!  I ended using a new set that will be a Hostess set in the new SU Catalogue!   Four Seasons is a really cute set that is great for showcasing punches!  I seem to be drawn to the Fall stamps even though it is almost Summer (I live in Canada so it is still Spring weather).  The Colours I used were Early Espresso, Calypso Coral, Pool Party and Very Vanilla.

The Freshly Made Sketches Challenge can be found HERE, along with the rules and all the other wonderful samples and entries.  Always great for inspiration.   

 
Thanks for Looking!

Jen's Choice at Freshly Made Sketches

WOW WOW WOW ... I was chosen as a " Perfect Princess" at Freshly Made Sketches by Jen.  My Mocha Morning card was picked to be one of the highlighted cards for their most recent sketch challenge!  I am so excited!!  Thanks to Jen and all the wonderful ladies at FMS.  

This card was made using Mocha Morning DSP and Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon (both on the retiring list).  The Cardstock is Very Vanilla and Basic Black.  I used a Non Stampin up embossing folder for the vanilla strip at the bottom but you could easily use the Vintage Wallpaper folder in its place.   For the tag I used a key from the retired "trinket keys" set and some linen tread.  The tags are vanilla paper stamped with phrases from the "Fabulous Phrases" stamp set and punched out with the Jewellery Tag Punch.

Challenge -- The Paper Players - Polka Dots

Another Challenge that pay homage to some retiring products.  The Polka Dot theme is fun and whimsical so I thought I would make a fun bright card from the 2010-2012 In Colours.  I also used the retiring stamp set "Something Sweet."  Keeping with the Polka Dot theme I filled my treat cup with lots and lots of Dots!  Colors used were, Poppy Parade, Blushing Bride, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz, and Concord Crush.    Thanks for Looking.
