Freshly Made Sketches #20-A Sketch by Me

This week at Freshly Made Sketches I am the hostess!  I created a long sketch, I think we all came up with our own dimensions, don't worry about the size of your card, just something that is longer than usual!  I am also pleased to welcome our February Guest Designers Kim S. and Tracey V.  



With me card, I started out with the idea of using the Balloon set from Stampin' Up called "Up, Up and Away".  Then I looked through my 6x6 paper pad sets and found a set that I had barely used called "Summer's End" by Fancy Pants Designs.  I used Baja Breeze and Tangerine Tango as my main colours and the sentiment was inked with Chocolate Chip and Tangerine Markers.


The ribbon comes from Stacey at Scrapbooking Essentials BC.  I love the gathered edges of this ribbon!

I hope you get the chance to join us this week and to try out my sketch!!!
