FMS # 321

Loving this sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! I am coming to terms with the phrase "less is more" and trying not to clutter my cards. When I first starting crafting about 6 years ago, the first style I learned was "shabby chic". Now I get to learn from all of you! This week's sketch:


And my take on the sketch:

Paper = DCWV "Safari Kids", Recollections Cardstock

Stamps = Recollections "Day at the Zoo"

Ink = Memento

I can't believe it's Thursday already! I try to get my posts in for AHS by Tuesday, but life happens, am I right? So, here's this week's sketch at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge:



And, full disclosure: I'm late posting because when taking the photo I noticed a splotch! So, being the inventive crafter that I am (yeah, right) I covered it up with an enamel dot. Yes indeed!

Paper = Wild Rose Studios "Annabelle's Garden", Recollections Cardstock, and Neenah White
Stamps = Hero Arts "Fancy Flowers"
Dies = MFT Die-Namics "Pierced Squares" and "Royal Leaves", Marvy Flower Punches
