So, How Was It?…

November 29, 2008, by {Jen}

Did you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Black Friday? I hope you all found some great deals on your shopping adventures! Well, hopefully you have some more time to rest, relax and, of course, STAMP. Here’s the Sketch For You To Try for this week…

Here is my sample using Stamp A Sweet Impression by Taylored Expressions stamps…

Here’s a detail shot. I used Platinum Stickles to dress it up a little, along with some Zva Creative Rhinestones. LOVE these!

Another beauty from Becca Feeken, November’s Designer of the Month…

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

Wanna play? I hope so!…really, I do!! 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.

    Great sketch, as always, Jen. And what fantastic samples — I love the way they run the gamut from cute to elegant. Becca was a terrific guest designer — you know how to pick ‘em!

    Loved this sketch, Jen!! Both samples are fantastic. Your SASI I like how you added the Stickles and rhinestones! Great coloring (of course) :) Becca’s is so “Becca”!! The elegance, the ribbon, the pearls — such a beauty!

    Hi Jen.

    Thanks for yet another great sketch. This was fun! Mine is very simple, I usually overload when I start to embellish! Yikes!
