Freshly Made Sketches #715

Hello again, my friends!  BIG news: We have TWO new designers and we're so excited to welcome Donna Mikasa and Michelle Langley to our FMS family!  welcome, ladies! 

A fresh and fun new Freshly Made Sketch to play with!  Karren has a dandy for us ...


Do you agree it's just tricky enough to make us think a little?
Well, here's where my thoughts took me...


I know I have a few friends who live in warmer climates where
sand dollars may be found more often than snowflakes!
Besides, I just could not resist this gorgeous paper from HoneyBee's Vitamin Sea collection.  My little Gina Marie Designs Sand Dollar brings me back to my very first meeting with my friend Marcia at a craft show - the rest is history, right, my friend?


Here is her closeup where you might see the snowflake embellishments,
and the PTI's Elegant Edges: Snowflakes, a big die cut snowflake from
HoneyBee and one more of those Betterpress-ed sentiments.

I look forward to seeing how YOU interpret Karren's Sketch soon -
you have until Monday, December 8th at 3:00PM EST!

    One of my dreams is to see snow falling at the beach, Michele. I can see that it would be worthy of my expectations! I love the sand dollar with the snowflake!

    Beautiful card with the sand dollar and pretty snowflake. Don't see many snowflakes here in Florida. :) Great take on the sketch.

    I love the alliteration of snowflake and sand dollar. The images really work in the sketch.

    Amazing use of the sketch, Michele! I love the mix of sand dollar and snowflake, the best of both worlds no matter where you live. Those really are beautiful papers too

    You wouldn't really think of using them together on a card, but it really works. Well done. Yes, I can see that the sketch might prove a little challenging, but you definitely nailed it xx
