Freshly Made Sketches 290

I've been a busy little girl lately and haven't had much time to stamp.  I got a hankering to do a big clean up around the house so I rented a dumpster and spent last week filling it up with a trove of junk that I have been apparently collecting since I bought my house in 1991.  It's amazing how much stuff you can accumulate in 25 years!  It felt good to purge, I can tell you that!

But on to bigger and better things I say.  And what better way to kick off my stamping week with a new sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  This week our lovely designer is Kim and she's given us a great one that I am sure you will love!

I had a look-see at the color challenge at Global Design Project and knew right away that I wanted to play along.  There was a time when I saw green on a color challenge and automatically my mind went to leaves which then went to flowers.  So, not one to ignore a good sign, that is exactly the direction I went with on my card.

My half-moon doily didn't quite take up all the space on the front of my card like the one in the sketch does so I improvised by topping it off with a small horizontal strip.  I quite like how it looks.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you've got some time this week to play along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.  For inspiration look no further than our very own talented design team members who have offered up some gorgeous cards for you to see!
