Freshly Made Sketches #720 by Jen T.

hello friends! Another Wednesday, and another great sketch from Freshly Made Sketches by Jen Timko!

OH, the possibilities are endless!  But here is how my [still not 100%] brain
took inspiration from Jen's sketch:


I got a new set of frame dies using a gift card I won on Instagram from
my generous friends at Waffle Flower Crafts!  Nesting Piercing Classic Labels paired with a wonderful print from Spellbinders' Holiday Expansion Pack, two circles and a lonely little snowflake [HoneyBee I think?] from my snippets!


I could happily live in this wonderful little village!  Unless, of course, it's
Winter all year long!! OY!

Okay, now it's your turn and we look forward to seeing your cards before
Monday January 26th at 3pm EST.
Be sure you stop by the Freshly Made Sketches blog for mountains of 
beautiful inspiration from the team!

  13. Oh, I wish I could see what your creative mind sees--through a window or not! And that lovely lonely snowflake was just waiting to make its debut on your card! And about that Elvis song.....

  14. It is so gorgeous! I love how you've used dimension - it looks like the houses have been pushed a bit backwards, so it really looks like you are looking out a window or something. And I love the look of that pretty snowflake. Really pretty card, Michele!
