Freshly Made Sketches 700th Challenge!!

14 years!!  Now THAT is cause for a celebration!  Congratulations to Freshly Made Sketches - I haven't played along since the beginning, but you've surely been a regular in my roundup of challenges for at least 10 years!  AND I cannot even tell you how honored I am to be on your design team now!  YIPPEE!!

Are you ready for our Sketch?  We're playing with FMS#14! This one is from December 7, 2011!  Jen Timko has made it even more fresh... thanks, Jen!

SURPRISE!!!  not the card you were expecting??  This is the first Freshly Made Sketch card I ever made, and it was for their 200th Celebration!


I couldn't have a 700th party without bringing the girls home again...


And here is that card you were expecting ... how can there be a party without boos?


I've stretched Jen's square into a rectangle this time and found some
really fun Halloween papers in a new set from Scrapbook.com's Spooky collection!
That little BOO is from EH and the die-cut sentiment is from Cathy Z at SSS.

I sure do hope you all join us in celebrating our 700th Sketch!  We can't wait to see what fun you bring to the party!

  1. I love the party "girls", Michele! What a fun card! I love the frame for the top square. The second card illustrates a great way to use up some patterned paper! Love that sentiment!
