Freshly Made Sketches #13-{Let it Snow}

Hello dear stamping friends! Hope all of my American stamping friends had a restful Thanksgiving. I was thinking of you all, enjoying your holiday break. I always love to watch the Macy's Day Parade, I think it is because of Miracle on 34th Street (the original movie). I love that movie. I would love to see the parade live one day, that would be wonderful. 


Last week we had a family emergency (I won't go into details) and I have been unable to comment on cards or to keep up with blogging in general. Things are better now and I am starting to get back to blogging and card making.  Thank you for all of the wonderful comments you have been leaving for me on my cards, they truly lifted my spirits last week and I needed that!!!  Thank you to my wonderful design teams who kept everything running smoothly, I am so thankful to have you as friends and challenge mates!


Now onto the Freshly Made Challenge this week. I am the hostess and designed a sketch with three objects in it that can be any shape...the same shape three times or different shapes.  I chose to use some snowflakes and my new "dienamics" die from My Favourite Things.  I also loved the colour challenge at the Colour Q and used it for inspiration this week.

We hope that you will join Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!

Thanks for stopping by!!!
