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!

Absolutely stunning! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration for this week's Freshly Made Sketch!
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning - one of my most favorite cards EVER! Great design, terrific images and that frame is so perfect. What an inspiration - thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh Michele this is just GORGEOUS! What a creative design ... stunning!
ReplyDeleteSweet card! I love the scene and your take on the inspiration -- I could definitely live there in that quiet, peaceful, sleepy town!
ReplyDeleteI’m so glad you are back! You inspire me with every card 😀
ReplyDeleteYour not quite 100% brain is pretty amazing to come up with this design for the sketch. I adore it! Everything is so well thought out and coordinated, including that lonely little snowflake. I can feel the quiet. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteWonderful use of all the elements Michele. It is a welcoming look into the new year.
ReplyDeleteLove this pretty frame, Michele! Luck you to win and a great pick! This snow covered village is so sweet and needed to be framed.
ReplyDeleteYour new frame framed that colorful village perfectly! A single snowflake I can handle, it's the multitudes that are rough!! This is a marvelous card, Michele!
ReplyDeleteThose papers are wonderful! They feel like they're right out of a fairy tale village! So sweet! Hope you're on the mend and staying WARM up there!
ReplyDeleteLove your new frame. Congrats on the win and you picked a lovely frame. It frames the quaint village so nicely. And that lonely little star is perfect to top it all off. Glad to see you are able to post some and hope you will be 100% real soon. I miss all your lovely inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYou nailed this design perfectly Michele...I adore those new frame dies and the dsp behind them, and I'd happily live there too if it wasn't Winter all year! The 2 circles and sentiment finish off this sweet card perfectly my friend...love it!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteOh, 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.....
ReplyDeleteIt 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!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win. You used it spectacularly on this wonderful card, Michele. Love how it frames the little village and the snowflake adds a beautiful finishing touch. Hope you are back to 100% very soon my friend.
ReplyDeleteI love your layers! The sweet scene in the background is fabulous with the sentiment, snowflake and circles layered on top!
ReplyDeleteooh that frame... do i need it too, just asking for a friend (wink). So glad you are creating, even if you are not at 100% your cards still are!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this simple and wonderful card. LOVE that frame and what you put inside it. What a great winter scene. Fabulous work with the sketch. Happy New Year to you too.
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning Michele! I love the shaped frame around your scene and the the additional circles make it feel like its continuing on. Love everything about your wonderful take on this sketch. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's like peeking through the looking glass at a place I'd love to visit, Michele.
ReplyDeleteThis card is absolutely stunning!!
ReplyDeleteI could totally live in that sweet village! Fabulous card to start the new year!
ReplyDeleteThis has such a fresh and cool look to it. The lighter colours work beautifully with that fabulous patterned paper!
ReplyDeleteI love how your brain works. This is just incredible! That village - perhaps that is where we take the team to hang out?! Thoughts? ;-) As always, thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLoving this sweet little scene that you've created - tis a truly stunning card!
