Sketch For You To Try…

November 8, 2008, by {Jen}

Happy Saturday y’all! I am so psyched that today finally is here. This morning I get to go to a craft fair with Susan and Shannan. I am hoping for some great finds! After that it’s off to get my hair cut and then tonight Tony and I are going to a fancy schmancy gala in Dallas. Hopefully we will get some good pics and I will be sure to share them next week.

Of course Saturday means another SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY! So, let’s get to it…

My sample using an image from the chichiboulie line at Stamping Bella and a sentiment from Verve Stamps {being released tomorrow night}…

Designer of the Month, Becca Feeken’s, GORGEOUS sample…

Check out the samples from a few of my stampin’ friends, Amy R., Amy S., Carole, Shannan and Susan!

Wanna play? Here’s what you should know…
1. ANYONE can play.
2. Have fun with this!
3. When uploading to SCS, use the keyword SFYTT.
4. Post a link to your blog or gallery on this post.

    Oh girls, your cards are both just sweet and beautiful. Each couldn’t be more different and I love ‘em both!

    Jen–your coloring is splendid, esp the boots, and I {heart} the clear snowflake!

    Becca–elegant, classy, gorgeous! Love the gold beads and fun edge on the upper horizontal piece–yummy!

    love your cards, can you tell me did you cut your snowflake using the cuttlebug snowfake die? I tried to cut acetate with it and it wouldn’t work for me, I would be grateful if you wouldn’t mind letting me know, many thanks :) :)

    Here’s my card. I used MFT’s Flopsey and made him reading Twas the Night Before Christmas. I struggled with the two parallel runs behind the image, but I think overall he’s pretty cute.
    Thanks!
