Freshly Made Sketches #645

It has been a very lazy weekend!  But lazy days always include getting my craft on!  Here is my first entry for Freshly Made Sketches #645 - I nearly missed it again!


This press plate is one from Pinkfresh Studios called Beautiful Branch!
I had used this one for a little 'loose' water coloring session with my
second wonderful visitor this year... can you put up with a few more?



Last one includes their Twist Pattern press plate!
What's black and white and red all over?


Now I'd better get that card in the FMS gallery before I forget!  But what I won't forget is having such fun with my best Jersey girl - I'm so happy you got TIME OUT for JUST US GIRLS... I think this was the best of the FOUR SEASONS to come to Michigan!  okay enough hints!  Can you guess who it is?

Fabulous take on the sketch! Love the different floral colors and how you turned them for a different look. And I'm guessing your Jersey girl is Stephanie? Have tons of fun and share pics of your projects--the food, too! ;)

Lisa Elton said...

You sure did get your crafty on! These are all extra pretty, Michele. The one with the postage frame is my favorite!

Beautiful selection of cards, Michele. I hope you had fun with Stephanie.

Jeanne said...

Your cards are so very pretty, Michele! They make me smile. Your hints may be good, but as I don't follow the challenges, I don't really have a clue as to who your friend is. Hope you'll still be my friend.

Beautiful branches times four, Michele! I LOVE the pink ones that fit perfect with this sketch! I'm also loving how the blue falls a bit off the edge and the distressed edges of the red! The pressed background on the last card is fantastic! Sounds like you had another really fun time!

You are one clever cookie! Your clues are fabulous. It is that wonderful brain of yours that I love so much, among many other things! I love all of these, and now I need the branch press plate. I love the FMS card with the branch hanging from above. I also LOVE the twist plate.

These are all BEAUTIFUL Michele...I think the last one is my favorite because of the twist plate in the background, but seriously, every colored version is so pretty! Hugs. :0)

The great image and simple coloring make delightful cards, Michele. They are different enough to stretch your creativity and not get bored doing the same thing.
