Freshly Made with Washi Tape

I have a drawer that contains many rolls of washi tape and I finally used one for this Freshly Made Sketch.

One Coffee, Please!



"We have an 
OPTIONAL theme and it is

Coffee~Cocoa~Warm Drinks "

I became a coffee drinker late in life, and I especially like sweet coffee.  In the past year, I began making iced coffee at home (with oat milk, for some reason).  When I visit my favorite coffee spot, I order a Buttercream White Mocha....white coffee, white chocolate, Irish cream (and an extra shot, which seems to cut the sweetness just a bit.)

Freshly Made with a Center Feature


I seem to be "hit and miss" with card-making over the past few months;  today, I worked on the card for Freshly Made Sketches.    The use of the DSP was kind of an experiment.  The center shape needed a partial frame to make it visible, so I chose metallic gold for it and the leafy border embellishment.

The Flower with a Stencil


It's interesting to me how I can visualize something and it actually turns out!  That was what happened with this Flower Challenge The stencil is a chrysanthemum design, so it was an obvious choice.  The the darling 3 daisies were stamped over the bi-colored stencil.

Spook and Pink for the Month of October

To Spook or Not
either Halloween or
October Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Pink)




The Challenge on Double D just seemed to require a double response. The sentiment on the pink card is especially appropriate for those who fight breast cancer.  As a survivor, I am well aware of the need to be strong. I was one of the lucky ones.

Back in a Groove with Freshly Made Sketch

I've been "absent" for an entire month...life really got in the way this summer.  Getting back in the craft room was on the list today. I started with the latest Freshly Made Sketch   I rarely use a tag as an embellishment, but it was a good challenge today.  Accents are gold.

Sunday Stamps with fall colors


I chose a Unity set to feature the color palette in the current Sunday Stamps challenge.   It turned out to be my first "fall" card of the year.
