Sketch For You To Try Saturday…

Posted by Jen | cards, challenges | Saturday, April 26, 2008

The class I taught last night went GREAT! I even got to do a little shopping afterward…YAY! Amazingly, no stamps made their way home with me; however, I did get a very cool 6×6 paper pack. It is Karen Neuburger Serenity line from Paper Salon. Pink, pink and more pink…love it!! What does pink, pink and more pink call for?…a baby card, of course!! Since I didn’t have my sample made up yet {shhh, don’t tell anyone} I came home and used the paper immediately. Yes, folks, you read correctly. I did not hoard it; I actually used it right then and there. {{GASP!!}} So, let me cut the yipyap and show you what the sketch is and the samples…

This week’s sketch…

My sample using that fun new paper and the giraffe from the SU! Wild About You set…

This is Guest Designer, Sarah Green’s, sample… P.S. Sarah, THANK YOU for that pic of McDreamy you have on your blog!! YUM-O!!

Thank you Sarah for being an AWESOME Guest Designer and playing with all of us this month!!

As always, check out more great samples from Amy, Carole, Shannan {although she like to “alter” hers a little…LOL ;) } and Susan.

Please link your projects to this post, and if you upload to SCS, please use the keyword SFYTT. Have a SUPER weekend!!

    YAH! I love coming here every Saturday morning with my coffee in hand and seeing all the wondeful creations done with the sketch!
    Your pink giraffe card is adorable! Sarah’s sample is beautiful with those new stamps, papers and colours!

    Can’t wait to get at this later today!

    LOVE the sketch this week. That paper is really really cute Jen, good job digging right into it.

    Since I organized my ridiculous collection of DP last night, I’ll be able to rifle through and find something fun to play with this week!

    Thanks for the inspiration as always

    Have a wonderful weekend Jen!

    Hey Jen! I was browsing your blog earlier and found out that you had a weekend sketch going! How cool and fun is that! Do you do this every week? I love getting new ideas for fun sketches, so if you do this every week, count me in! Here are my 2 samples…

    So glad to hear the class went well last night! I’m in love with the pink papers you picked up AND with the card you made with them - just gorgeous. Sarah’s card is beautiful, too. Love all the yellows and the mod feel. It’s been great seeing all her GD stuff this month!

  24. Comment by Lori — April 28, 2008 @ 8:18 am

    Jen, love the sketch and Sarah’s and your samples! This one was perfect for a new stamp I just got this weekend, and I was even inspired to grab some paper I’d been hoarding myself. I’ll be using this sketch again for sure!

    Love this sketch, Jen, and the wonderful samples.
    I used some of the bounty from your GINORMOUS blog candy for my card. You sparked my mojo with your generosity. Thank you again! I posted a picture of all the goodies I received just above my sketch card if anyone would like to see it.
    Hugs,

    Great sketch! I hope it wasn’t a requirement to split the main cardstock as I didn’t do that to mine. It was a quick throw together card but I think it turned out well thanks to your sketch!

    Both of these are fabulous, Jen! I just love your sketches! I finally got around to doing this one. I had to change it a little to fit my image, but overall it’s pretty much the same.
