Freshly Made Sketches and Just us Girls

I always enjoy seeing January come to its end.  February is short [okay I know it's only a few days] and seems to just fly by - or maybe that's just me?

I have two cards for two challenges today.  It's CASE the Designer time at Just us Girls #760 - Sue's darling card was my inspiration - you know I still had all those Penny Black goodies out - when I went in search for a branch die from their Stocking Stuffers set, a light bulb went off... here's the result:


I had the sweetest little thing to hang from that branch!
PB Endearment [which I fussy-cut] and a sweet little moon from PB Moon and Back.
I watched Jill's Sketch #9 this morning and used her 'peek-a-boo' method
of 'tucking' my branch but left that darling moon perched on the frame.  My frame is a little more ornate [PB Frame It] than Sue's but seems so perfect for this scene.  Of course, you'll find the 'Love you to the Moon and Back' sentiment inside.  You know there are stars - here's a closeup:


and here are the inks, and gelli-roll pen I used to add the stars.
 


One more card - for Freshly Made Sketches #671 from Judy.  After plenty of thinking I decided that grass was perfect for the layers in Judy's Sketch... I hope she doesn't mind that I gave that circle a nudge...
 

PB Moon and Back; EH Landscapes; SSS Circle on a Line die;
PB Loving Friend sentiment.

It's time to reorganize/cleanup/clear the decks!  It could take a while - wink.  Thanks for putting up with my crazy crafty energy lately - it means the world to me!

Darling cards Michele and the Sue's branch design directing the rest of your first card's design is fabulous! The clean white frame and card base just showcase that sweet scene so well! This is frame-able art in my opinion! Thanks for always sharing your beauties with us at Just Us Girls!
