Freshly Made Sketches #678

I had already made my card for this week's Freshly Made Sketch by Cécile but when I went to add it to her gallery another had also used the same die as I had.  Back to the drawing board and I think I like my second card even better!  I hope Cécile has her sense of humor primed... 


I had the inspiration for my card for breakfast this morning with 
plenty of freshly-ground pepper:


Inside sentiment:

... make any day start sunny side up!"

Are you curious about the other?  Here you go...


A thank you for a very sweet gift from a friend - it's already in the mail! 
Happy Saturday, everyone!

I spotted your eggs in those speckled daisies right away! This is oodles of fun, Michele and I love your first take with those pretty flowers too!

As soon as I saw those daisies, I wanted to reach for the fring pan and sprinkle some pepper on my friend eggs~ I love the sentiment and your fabulous CAS design inspired by that fabulous sketch. Your second card is fabulous as well! Love the colors in those bright posies, and I have always loved that brick die cut. They combine beautifully here!

I spy two eggs sunny side up! Both cards are super cute Michele.

Two too cute!!

I'm pretty sure there was some definite egg-spiration for your card and it's darling! As for your second, it is equally darling and still very different from the other -- both are awesome, Michele

It's good to start your day sunny side up, whether for breakfast or on a card! Your flowers/eggs are the perfect shape for the sketch. And your second card which you made first is really pretty! I looked and couldn't see which other card you're talking about, which shows how different yours is. Love those flowers and how you used them with the sketch!

The flowery eggs are so fun and I love the sentiment you put with them, Michele. Your other card is wonderful and I would have entered it anyway.

I was definitely curious about the first card, they are both gorgeous and you cannot make me pick a favourite.
I have had such a lovely time cruising your blog and beautiful designs today, I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to get back here, it's been a bit of a hot mess here lol.

Cécile RIBON said...

The 2 of them are stunning! But I confess I'm totally in love with your "sunny-side-up egg" flowers, Michele. They bring me such a big smile . Thanks so very much for joining in the FMS party

Lisa Petrella said...

You are so clever, Michele!!! Your sunny side up card totally made me smile! And that second card is absolutely fabulous!!! Love every single detail!!!
