A HUGE Sale And Sketches, Sketches Everywhere…
Don’t read this first paragraph if you don’t want to be enabled!! I knew you would still be reading this!! The Cat’s Pajamas is having a HUGE sale!… 25% off EVERYTHING!!! Just think of it this way… You can buy 25% more now! 
Now, that’s what I call stamper’s logic!!
I swear, it doesn’t even feel like Saturday! All my days have been running together lately. I guess it’s just the hustle and bustle of summer and getting off our normal routine a couple times this week. Ellie had her 2 year appointment on Thursday and ***newsflash*** she’s… NORMAL!! LOL!! A VERY chatty 2 year old! Yesterday I put on her sundress and she did a little twirl and said, “I’m a princess.” Awwww!! She’ll always be my little princess!
So, here’s the SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY…
My sample, using Inque Boutique stamps from The Purple Turtle Stamp Shoppe. This set is called School Record. The background is from Cornish Heritage Farms. I think this would make a fun card for a teacher or someone you know that may have just been “caught” doing something…fun or not. LOL
This is a detail shot that didn’t quite capture all the detail that I wanted it to. The boy is stamped in River Rock, then stamped off, then stamped in VersaMark and then clear embossed. Same with the ruler {see pic above}.
Today is Jessie’s last day as the Guest Designer for the month of July. Be sure to give Jessie some cyber hugs, as we have LOVED having her here! Isn’t this just the cutest?
Don’t forget to check out all the samples from my fab friends… Amy R., Amy S., Carole and Susan. Shannan said she’ll be playing late {as if that’s something new!} because she had to make a quick out of town trip.
A little more about this sketch…
It is also featured on the Sisterhood of Scrap blog with another sample that I did. You can check out my Bella on her bike over there.
Want another sketch from me today? Be sure to check out the Dare To Get Dirty challenges for today. I have one that I **think** that you might like. You have to remember, they don’t call it a challenge for nothin’!! 
Both of these cards are beautiful. I hope to be that as I get more stamping and stamps (LOL) under my belt, to make something like this.
These are both gorgeous! It is so cool how one sketch can be interpreted so many lovely ways! I love it!
Hi Jen!
Absolutely love the colors in your sketch card and the stamps–love ‘em! Thanks for the giggle Ü

Oh my Jen…fun sketch! Both of the samples are fabulous!
I’m looking forward to your DTGD sketch!
Great cards!!!!! Love them!!!
I LOVE that card you made (Jessie’s is super cute too). That sentiment and the cute boy with the books are just awesome! You always pay such great attention to details.
Thanks for everything Jen…your card is fantastic!!
Oh, my, word!!! I NEED those inque boutique stamps. Your card is awesome! Takes me right back to the 80s!
Jen, your card is SO fun!! I am loving those stamps! Jessie’s is filled with her usual gorgeousness and fun details. It was so much fun having her play along this month! Wonder who’s next?
Oh man! I do NOT need to get hooked on another stamp company, but I must have this set!! As a former school teacher, I’m sure you can relate! (You used to be a teacher, right? I’m pretty sure we talked about that at the Arlington Shoebox Swap!) Thanks for sharing this, I love everything about your card!
Neat sketch, so many possibilities — I went with snowflakes: http://stampmom.blogspot.com/2008/07/sketch-for-you-to-try.html

Hi Jen - this was a great sketch challenge - I really enjoyed it and had so much fun with it. I think I am going to make another card with this sketch tonight! You can find my card here: http://sunnysankari.blogspot.com/
Thanks!
Combined the sketch with a couple of the Dirty Dare challenges that I’m trying to get caught up on! This was really a challenging one, Jen and I love how it got me thinking! Thanks a bunch!

Neat sketch and love the cards, the first one is fun and love the way you stamped the boy! The second is lovely with all it’s flowers and the pretty piercing around the scallop!
I changed the sketch a tad … hope that’s okay, but I did it! Thanks for a great sketch!!
Christmas Blessings

Hi Jen, I loved this sketch the first time I made a card for it - but had to use it again because I just totally LOVE it! The holiday card that I made doesn’t have the three stars in the corner - but rather three stockings in a row - Thanks so much for these sketches! They are fabulous
