I am trying a new challenge today for my “Free Friday”. The challenge is from “Freshly Made Sketches” and they base their challeges on “Clean & Simple”. Here are the rules to follow:

And my card:

We as demo’s were given a challenge of our own last month (I think it was). We were asked to join in on a “Workshop Book-a-thon” and we were asked to go +1 from the last Book-A-Thon, which means I had to book 3 workshops…..and I did it compliments of Lisa, Deb, Norma and Vicki…..thanks girls. What did we get for completing our goal? The stamp set that you see displayed on my card. This set is so cute. It is called “Gnome Sweet Gnome”. I decided to create a little scenery for my female Gnome:

To accessorize my card, I used the new “Island Indigo Baker’s Twine”, once on one of my cardstock strips and again as a small double-looped bow:

Card Supplies:
- Cardstock: Old Olive, Marina Mist, Whisper White
