Oldies, but Goodies On My Sketch For You To Try…
Happy Saturday!! You know what that means!!…another Sketch For You To Try! YAY!! I have had such wonderful feedback from my sketches. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Each month the Dirty Dozen and Dirty Dozen Alumni get together for a little challenge. These are the details of this month’s challenge, and the basis {other than my sketch} for my card:
Challenge Focus: Use one of the oldest stamp sets you own along with embellishments and supplies you’ve had for what seems like forever.
Required Element: RAK - you must mail your card out as a RAK on 3/20 to any DD/DDA - could be a birthday, get well, thinking of you, invite to come play with us, congratulations or just totally random no particular reason RAK. You do not need to tell us who you mailed your card to.
Restricted Element: No stamps, tools, or supplies purchased or obtained within the last 6 months.
Bonus Challenge: Use a technique or style you haven’t used in a long time, but was a favorite at some point in your stamping past.
I decided to stay focused on the older stamps that I have. I chose my SU! Loving Hearts and Be Happy sets. Loving Hearts has been in my collection for a long time now and, even though I sell a lot of my older stuff to make way for new, I just can’t seem to let go of this one. I don’t even use it that often, but it remains.
I’ll cut the yip and the yap and show the sketch and my card now…
It’s kinda plain, but I like the simplicity. I’m gonna do another this week and jazz it up a little.
As you know, Joanne Basile is joining us this month as a Guest Designer each week for the sketches. Check out her awesome card!! Doesn’t this pic just look like it was ripped from a magazine?
As always, you can see more brilliant ideas for this sketch from my buds Amy, Carole, Shannan and Susan.
I hope you’ll give it a go, too! If you do, be sure to link it up to this post and if you upload to SCS, please use the keyword SFYTT so we can check ‘em all out!!
Happy Easter! Hugs-Jd
PS-I just had to share another from the icanhascheezburger. If you have hours on end to laugh out loud, check out the site. I seriously can’t get enough!! LOL!!

Can’t wait to try this sketch! Love your card and Joanne’s does look like it was ripped from a magazine!
March 22, 2008, 8:52 am
Wonderful card Jen! I love the colours and stamps. Funny how there are certain things we just can’t part with…this is why!
Joanne’s card is beautiful too!
Hope you have a nice Easter weekend!

Your samples are so darn cute. I love them both!! This is a great sketch and maybe I will find the time to actually participate this weekend. Thanks.

OMG!!! Jen, I LOVED all those pictures!! I needed a good laugh today!! I love your sketch as well, and I’m hoping to get to my stamping room today to play!!! (It would probably help if I didn’t spend so much time on this computer, though…LOL!) Have a wonderful Easter!
March 22, 2008, 12:06 pm
This is a great sketch! I managed to play along too!

So glad I managed to click my way to your blog!! I love your sketches! This sketch works so well for an idea I’ve got in my head (although it’s for a new stamp so I will hang my head for a moment). I just got an idea for something old I could pull out too so I’m feeling very inspired! TFS!!!

I went with the restricted element and one of the oldest sets that I own (which I have never used until now). This set was perfect for your sketch Jen - great one this week!!
