Well here we are again at Wednesday! Why is it that the days motor on like Speedy Gonzales? I wish they would slow down because I've got loads of things to do and not enough time to do them! But enough of that.
Freshly Made Sketches day is, of course, Wednesday and we've got a great sketch by
Kim this week.
How's that for a fabulous sketch! I spent a lot of time thinking about this sketch and how I was going to do those vertical elements. Luckily I found this unique challenge at
As You See It that asked about what you do when your crafting mojo deserts you. Well for me, I like to CASE myself. I find a card that I particularly like and re-work it a bit. That's how I got my inspiration for todays card: by CASEing a
card I made about a year ago. I used the same stencil and the same basic sentiment. Just changed up the layout. There's a "beach" challenge going on at
Cupcake Inspirations that gave me my colors. I used Sahara Sand and Baja Breeze, both pretty beachy colors!
Thanks for stopping by and you will be wowed, for sure, at the cards the
Freshly Made Sketches design team has made for this challenge so be sure to check them out. I hope we'll see you in the gallery!

What a good idea, Jen, casing yourself! Your card is lovely - beautifully understated and effective! You are so good at that! The way that you have interpreted the sketch is brilliant! Thanks for joining us at As You See It Challenge!
So subtle and so lovely! You are right about casing yourself. I'd not really thought of it before but looking through past cards is a good way to get the creative flow going again. Thank you for joining us again at As You See It.
I love this.....clean and classic! I almost used this awesome diecut but picked happy birthday and ended up,with friend.....yeah it was a great time in the craft room!
Perfect take on the sketch Jen and I love the colors!
LOVE your use of the different colors on the stencil! What a fabulous backdrop for the sentiment!
Simply, beautiful!
These colors look wonderful together and the chevron is a very clever way to incorporate the sketch. Totally cool card!
I love your idea of caseing one of your own creations. And I love the sentiment on this. Cute card, Jen!
Oh this is one gorgeous card - it has such a modern and cool feel with those colours and chevrons!
What a great card Jen! Love those stripes and that sentiment is so perfect! What an awesome card!
This is a great way to break through the crafting blahs. I need to give it a go! Love your colors here!
CASing yourself is always a good idea....your creations are fabulous! I should CASE you too! Thanks for playing with our AYSI challenge this week! :)
Yes, CASing is a great way to get your mojo back! Super cute card! Thanks for playing along this week with AYSI!
Oh Jen,
Thank all of YOU for your constant inspiration, dedication which has provided me with much crafty fuel over the years.
SO clever, the hexagonal form behind the card features. Terrific take on the sketch.
