You're so HOT - Stay Awhile...

I've been stalking and admiring all the "crooked" cards that are popping up everywhere.  I've even managed to make one or two.

When I saw that this week's FMS (Freshly Made Sketches) was "crooked," I just had to try it out!  I had CTMH's Timberline Collection on my table so I just grabbed it and went to work.

Here's a look at the FMS #126
-----------------------------------------------
Here's my take on the sketch using Timberline, Kraft Cardstock and our NEW Embossing Folders...

----------------------------------------------
I love how embossed images looked all inked up...these dots are inked using White Daisy.  And...I've been having so much FUN cutting up the Timberline Complements!  This cute little arrow border is a cardstock-weight sticker...our Non-Stick Micro-Tip Scissors are AWESOME for cutting sticky things!

-------------------------------------
I pop-dotted the "You're so HOT" Stickease by applying baby powder to the back to take away the stickiness then used 3D-Foam Tape to add dimension...

-----------------------------------------
Here's the inside...LOVED coupling the "Stay Awhile" with the "You're so HOT"...lol.  I plan on giving this to my husband as a "just because" card!  The bottom border is left-overs from the front diagonals I cut off...LOVE using those little scraps!

Freshly Made SUNSHINE...

Sketch Challenges are one of my many weaknesses, which means I LOVE THEM like a girl loves chocolate! 
 
But....with my busy schedule - I work full time outside the home and have 4 very busy children...I don't always MAKE TIME to play along.
 
This weekend I set aside 20 minutes to sit down and play along with Freshly Made Sketches!  One of their requirements is that you keep it simple which is sometimes hard for me to do but I gave it a try.
 
Here's a look at the sketch...
Here's what I came up with...I think it needs something in the top left corner but I kept reminding myself to keep it simple so I left it...
