Thoughts of You for Freshly Made

Happy Wednesday to everyone! We're halfway through the month of April, can you believe it? The snow here is melting and patches of dirt and grass can be seen....summer will be here before I know it!

This week at Freshly Made Sketches the great sketch comes to us from Rita. I love the square/rectangles but circles always scare me, LOL. Thankfully with FMS you can change that circle to any shape, so I chose to use one of the Framelit dies and the corresponding Apothecary set.

This card is definitely more "girly" than something I would normally do. My daughter said it reminded her of her great grandma(my awesome Grandma that inspired last weeks FMS card) and looking at it I think she is absolutely correct. My grandparents living room was a mix of pink and soft blues, so I definitely think I was channeling them here, LOL.

Make sure you head over to the Freshly Made Sketches to check out all the other great projects from the design team, and then play along, we want to see what you create with this sketch!

Paper: Baja Breeze, Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Twitterpated DSP

  2. My Grandma had a lot of pink in her living room too! Oh, how I loved hanging out in that room, or anywhere with Grandma, for that matter. You have colored the beautiful image so beautifully and the embossing really shows it off. Sometimes we need a girly card.
