We have been celebrating the Sketch #400 milestone at Freshly Made Sketches all month, and now we finally present sketch #400. Take a look:
And to further celebrate this milestone, we have prizes!! Several stamping companies have offered to donate prizes for this celebration, and you can see the list here:
I flew to Michigan this past weekend to move my Freshman daughter into her new dorm room. Everything went well except for one mishap. Since we decided to fly in rather than drive from Texas, we placed online orders at Target and Bed, Bath, and Beyond for those items that we couldn’t fit in the suitcases. After picking these items up in our rental car, we put them in those large blue Ikea bags to make it easier to carry them up to her dorm room. Somehow a bottle of OxiClean spray came unscrewed and spilled all over everything in the Ikea bag. We didn’t notice it until we had set the bag on the floor in her room. When we unzipped the bag and pulled out the first item, we saw the mess, but not before it had soaked through the bag onto the floor. What a mess! We salvaged what items we could and then had to mop the floor, which was now super slippery and soapy. She now has the cleanest floor in all of the Michigan dorms!
I hadn’t played with the Over the Moon stamp set in a while, and I needed to make something that would make me smile. Dropping my second one off for college was just as hard as letting the first one go. It seems so quiet at home now. But she’s excited to be there and was already making friends when I left. She’ll do great!
I colored the cow with my markers and used a piece of retired gingham paper. I really need to order some more new dsp. I just have so much retired paper that I haven’t used.
We hope you’ll join us and create your own card using the sketch. We love to see what you make and the prize winners will be chosen randomly from the Freshly Made Sketches gallery. See the Freshly Made Sketches site for the details and rules, and while you’re there take a look at what the design team has created for your inspiration.
Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!

This card just makes me smile – adorable! And yep sending kids to college is not easy – definitely wasn’t my favorite event!
Oh this card is just fantastic Amy! I love that yellow gingham but that cow take the cake! So cute! Getting set up in dorm is never easy! Sounds like quite the adventure!
Too darn cute! My kind of card!!
Have a wonderful day,

I love the gingham! And the cow with that sentiment is so fun!
Love how you used the sketch–super cute card! The yellow gingham paper is perfect for the background! Can only imagine how hard it is having kids at college far away!
Yep! Laughed out loud with this sentiment! It’s a totally fabulous and fun card you’ve created Amy!
I wish I’d thought of your idea. We bought all the stuff here, then packed a car so full there wasn’t an inch to spare – then drove 850 miles to drop off my freshman! It would have been so much smarter to get it at his destination! And I so agree the second one was hard – but then my oldest is at a college just 90 miles away so not quite so bad.
LOVE the card. It’s a charming image and so perfect with the paper. Is it going off to your daughter?
