A Sketch And A Welcome…

Posted by Jen | Purple Turtle/inque boutique, cards, challenges, designer of the month | Saturday, July 5, 2008

Hip Hip Hooray…it’s Saturday! Did you all have a fun fourth? We had a great time at our friend’s house, but getting back home was a nightmare. There was a 18 wheeler turned over on the freeway, so we were detoured through downtown where the police had half the streets closed off. What was normally about a 30 minute venture turned into over an hour. But, we got home safe and sound, so I can’t complain.
Well, it’s the first Saturday of the month, so I get to introduce a brand spankin’ new Guest Designer…YAY!! I got to meet Jessie at the Arlington Shoebox swap, and she is truly a sweetie! I am glad she has hopped on board this month with me and the rest of the SFYTT gang…Amy, Carole, Shannan and Susan. <-- Be sure to check out their samples, too!

Welcome Jessie Rone...

In her own words…
Holy Cow, would you look at me!! A year ago if you had told me that I would be a guest designer on one of my FAVORITE blogs, I would have looked at you dumbfounded and said, “What’s a blog?” LOL!! I started stamping 7yrs ago, but never really took it seriously. I became a demonstrator in 2001 for SU and have remained one(purely for the discount) ever since. I joined Splitcoast Stampers back in 2005, but never did anything but CASE other peoples cards up until October of last year. Since then, I have started my gallery on SCS, my blog, became design team coordinator for Paper Pretties, and been fortunate enough to have guest designer spots with My Favorite Things and for Melanie Muenchinger’s(illustrator for Gina K.) blog. When I got the email from Jen, I thought I would have a {heart} attack!! I look forward to working with her and her amazing team for the next month!!

Here’s the sketch for this week…

Here’s my sample using “Out Of This World” DP and the inque boutique Space Cadet set from The Purple Turtle Stamp Shoppe…

Jessie’s GORGEOUS sample…

Won’t you come play with us? Please be sure to link your project to this post and if uploading to SCS, please use the keyword SFYTT. Have fun and hope you have a great weekend. Tony will be here the SECOND Sunday of each month. If you expected him on the 6th, sorry, he’s got another week to come up with something! :)

Psssst…don’t forget to wish Kim (the MFT Lady) a happy 40th Birthday!!

  44. Comment by Kendra - SCS:apigonfire — July 8, 2008 @ 1:01 pm

    Well, I tried. Twice. And I’m not fantastically happy with either attempt. I think this sketch - while everyone else has done gorgeous stuff with it - is not for me!
    Ah… it is what it is. At least I tried…
