Freshly Made Sketches #701

Thanks so much for all the wonderful cards made to celebrate last week's 700th Sketch!  We have a very fun Sketch from Jen Brum this week for Freshly Made Sketches #701!  


I am doing a little advance planning for my brother-in-law who is retiring in November.  He loves nothing more than fishing - in his boat or even through the ice - and I know he'll appreciate this a-LURE-ing card... yes, I did give Jen's sketch a tip onto its side, but I know she won't mind a bit!


Anytime these HoneyBee Lovely-Layers: Lures can come out to play is a-okay with me - and their sentiments from Hooked on You are so clever, too!

Be sure to check out Jen's card to see how her sketch was inspired and how all the other designers brought it to life, too!  Right HERE!

Every time you use these lures on a card, I think they are the cutest things ever! And I don't like fishing. This is a fabulous card, Michele!

I love those fishes...I think my order came a week ago with them. Gotta get on the stick and make a card. September requires 4 man cards from me...so opportunity is hollering. I love this take on the sketch.

He sounds like a 'die hard' fisherman, ice fishing sounds cold lol. I know he will love this card! And You have reminded me that I need to get this set out again, it's always a fave!
