Freshly Made sketches

This is the new sketch designed by Linda at Freshly Made Sketches.  

It is a new year and I am excited to have my fledgling blog up and my first entry in a card challenge.
Wishing everyone a 2017 filled with adventure, love and laughter.
Thanks for dropping by.

Take care,
Joann

I am excited to share my card with you. I look forward to any comments that you wish to leave for me.

Materials I used:

Cardstock: Midnight Blue, Whisper White, and a pre -embossed white cardstock
Stamp: Hello (2000 Stampin Up)
Ink: Stazon Cotton White                                                                                                                  Accessories: navy cotton sewing thread, Creative Time jewel, Creative Time die

The three butterfly 1 ½” x 4 ¾” cardstock strip is from the negative space left by the butterfly die cuts that I used for another card. I glued a piece of Stampin Up midnight blue cardstock on  to the back and filled the negative space with glitter glue then added snippets of coloured foil to each butter fly.

The navy thread, is wound several times around the card to add more navy to the card. A piece of embossed white piece of cardstock was then added and to it I added a stitched square of Midnight navy cardstock and stamped the Hello in Stazon Cotton White.

Creating cards for the men in my life.

My Book challenge for 2017 at Goodreads

My Book challenge for 2017 at Goodreads is to read 100 books.

I think it may be a challenge but I love to read and I am a quick reader so I think this will be a doable. I guess I'll see. It is the fifth day of January and I have completed 2 books.

Book 1 - Sweet Tea Revenge, Laura Childs  (293 pages)- Started and finished January 1, 2017
I find these books an easy read. This one did not disappoint as it was entertaining as always.

The recipe for the peach scones was delicious. Moist and tasty and not too sweet. Even Lionel liked them.
I plan to  make the steeped tea chicken and PB scone recipes this week.

Book 2- The Lucifer Code, Michael Cordy (441 pages) - Started January 2 -completed January 4, 2017
This book was an interesting read. At what point do science and religion meet or do they?

Yesterday I picked eight books to read from the library. So, the current book three has been shuffled on down the line, as  I am now reading Writing All Wrongs, from the 'A Book By the Bay Mystery' series by Allery Adams.

January 7, 2017

Book 3 - Writing All Wrongs, Ellery Adams (274 pages)
Book 4 - Murder in the Mystery Suite, Ellery Adams (277 pages)

Book  - I'll See You In Paris, Michelle Gable ( 378 pages)
