Freshly Made Sketches: Thankful for You

It's time for a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches! Today we have a sketch by Jen Brum.


I am so ready for fall.  I truly hate being hot so summer is by far my least favorite season.  Fall weather has taken its time getting here this year with multiple days recently of record-breaking heat.  Ugh.  Finally it started cooling down in the evenings - then yesterday it's suddenly fall weather.  I made this card in celebration.  (Although ask me again in a few weeks when the huge trees in my yard start dropping their leaves.  I recently moved off 5 acres with just a few trees and enough wind that the leaves all blew away!!  I haven't raked in decades.)

FMS Thankful 

I created my little scene on a basically square piece of paper then trimmed it into thirds.  I played around with a strip of patterned paper across the back, but I was already feeling queasy with four patterns on one card.  I know they are just itty bitty trees but I often don't even use a single pattern on a card, let along four!!  So I scrounged my stash and found four stitching dies that I hadn't cut apart yet so seemed like a fabulous border.

I hope to see you playing along with our sketch this week!  I love browsing the gallery!

  5. I love this scene! The colors of the patterned paper are perfect for fall! Good luck with the falling leaves. I haven't raked in decades either - because I hire a guy to do it for me!!! Just sayin' ;)
