Vintage Skates - Freshly Made Sketches #645

Hello! A Sunday night blog post from me! I have not been crafting as much as I would like due to an illness that has just kept going through our house since the beginning of July, I went down sick first at the beginning of July and was sick again the last few days, I felt better today and I had a new stamp and die cut set from Stampin' Up! that I have been so anxious and excited to play with that as soon as I felt up to it today, I was down at my table getting my craft on and playing with it. The ironic thing is I am a summer-loving girl and I want no mention of Christmas or even fall and winter until I enjoy summer to the fullest and I the anti-Christmas anything until I absolutely have to.... I made a Christmas card in July! I love Christmas and all the trappings but growing up in warm weather states and now living in snowy wintery Canada, I relish every minute of summer!



As you can see this is being submitted for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge, I finally got a card done in time to submit, yeah me!

hey - Enjoy the Ride - AHSC 583

Hey Hey! I had to get a bit creative with today's card, I had to rotate it as my sentiment would not fit, but that is the great thing about sketches, you can do that, they are jumping off points. Again, I used the Enjoy the Ride paper pack created by CTMH but sold by Stampin' Up! I know I have said it before but I just love this Rosy plaid or gingham pattern and the flowers and bright bold colours are so fun to me. I know I am not done playing with this paper pack at all!
