Sketch For You To Try…

Posted by Jen | Bella, cards, challenges, designer of the month | Saturday, February 16, 2008

YAY! It’s Saturday and time for another sketch for you to try. I made this one late last night after watching a some DVR’d shows and kicking Tony’s rear in Wii bowling. I got FIVE strikes in a row! You’d laugh if you saw me bowling for real. It’s not pretty and I even took a bowling class in college. Yes, seriously!! I needed one credit of anything to graduate and that was what fit best into my schedule. The only requirement from the instructor was that we show up. LOL!! Anyways, the point of me saying that this was done late is because there is an extra panel on this card that is covering up sloppy paper piercing. I actually like how that strip looks across the top, tho!! LOL!
I’ll cut out the yipyap and get to the meat of today’s post. The circle at the top can be a panel of paper or an embellishment of choice.

As always, you can see more fabulous samples from Carole, Shannan and Susan.

**When uploading to SCS, please use the keyword SFYTT** Link in a comment on this post, too. I’m looking forward to seeing what sensational projects you come up with!!!

    I just had to laugh when I read your remark about needing one credit to graduate! My oldest is doing just that — no lie! He needed ONE credit to graduate this spring, and BOWLING was it. lol

    I don’t have time to stamp today, but I’ll have to give your sketch a try tomorrow. Darling card, BTW (you’d never know you’d made a boo-boo). ;)

    Mine is pretty simple but took a long time to make- simplest cards are the hardest!

    I thought I’d give it a try. I love that it was so different from what I normally do. I love to think outside the box especially when someone else does the thinking for me.

    I needed a get well card for a buddy at work and this cute sketch called out for a massive flower to me! Think the ribbon in mine looks like a frowny face?

    Hi Jen, I am new to your blog and sketches. Found your blog through Carole (TruCarMa)’s blog. I needed inspiration, and found it in your cute sketch! Your sketch is on the bottom left card -it’s turned on the side. Thanks! Hugs, michelle
