Well, here we are in August already. Kids go back to school here next week! Summer may be flying by, but don’t worry – we still have a new sketch for you this week at Freshly Made Sketches. Our hostess this week is the incredible Jacquie Southas. She has a sketch that is unique and fun. Take a look:

My older daughter graduated from college in April with a nursing degree and was in desperate need of a break. So she is spending the summer in northern Michigan at her boyfriend’s family’s lakehouse. They are just enjoying a leisurely summer trying to decide where they want to start their careers. How exciting to be at that point in your life where the world is full of possibilities. What state should I live in? What type of nursing should I pursue, etc… The In the Moment stamp set has been sitting on my shelf for quite a while and has never seen ink, and one of the images seemed perfect for her.

I pulled out my aqua painter and inks and decided to do a little watercoloring on this one. Boy, am I rusty! It was fun though. I went with a color palette of Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath, Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Lemon Lolly, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, and Smoky Slate.

I decided to put the sentiment on the inside of the card and used a strip of dsp from the Bright & Beautiful collection since the colors worked together so well.

We hope you’ll join us and create your own card using the sketch this week. We love to see what you make as we browse the gallery each week. Meanwhile, be sure to stop by the Freshly Made Sketches site to see what the design team has made for your inspiration.

Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!
