Celebrating Freshly Made Sketches' 700th Challenge

700 Challenges is quite an accomplishment so congratulations are in order for Freshly Made Sketches.  For fun, the Design Team is showing the very first card they made for FMS.  In keeping with that, I went back and found the very first card I made.  It was for challenge #6 on October 14, 2011.  Here's the sketch.


And my card.


I have come a long way on my card making journey.  This was only a little over 4 months since I started my blog and began entering challenges and I was using a Cricut for my images.  Even the writing of my blog posts has changed and improved tremendously.  

For this week's challenge, we have this sketch from their 14th challenge.

I seldom make square cards and my proportions are a little different but here's what I came up with.


All the patterned paper came from a Honey Bee's Homestead Harvest and the card base is Ivory from Gina K.  The squares were cut with an MFT die, the Sunflower is from Spellbinders and the sentiment is a BetterPress. 

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you'll go over to Freshly Made Sketches and walk down memory lane with them.
