Sketch For You To Try and a New Designer of the Month…
So, did you survive Halloween on a Friday night? We shut things down fairly early so that we wouldn’t have barking dogs and a sleeping toddler. Ellie actually had a pretty sad Halloween. It started with her waking up at 5 am needing a breathing treatment. By 9 am we were in the doctor’s office getting oral steroids and further breathing treatments. We finally {it’s been months} got an official diagnosis of asthma. Poor thing!! She started coming around by trick or treating time, so she was able to go out to a few houses. So cute! She dressed up as a bumble bee and said “buzz buzz buzz” all night. Here she is just before we went out…
Well it’s the first Saturday of the month so I have a new SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY and a new DESIGNER OF THE MONTH…Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace.
Here is a little about Becca, in her own words…
When Jen first wrote me to ask me to be a Designer of the Month, my husband had to hold my typing fingers so that I didn’t write back to ask her…Me? Really? Seriously, I’m honored that she asked! I’m a long time reader and fan of a Sketch for You To Try.
I’ve been stamping for more than 10 years – or rather I should say “collecting”. I left my job 2 years ago to devote time to my family’s needs. It allowed me to refocus and set aside some of my free time to this addicting hobby. I’m finally diving into my huge collection and inking the “un-inked”. My blog and the people who visit give me a reason to make the next card and the next post.
They say that one often meets his destiny in the road he takes to avoid it. So true! Over a year ago I began reading blogs but was convinced it would never appeal to me, I was content to be a wallflower. My blog Amazing Paper Grace and my SCS identity, Becca Stamps, have opened the door to countless friendships in addition to relationships with the incredibly supportive companies who have allowed me to work on their teams: Friends of Flourishes Blog Team and Design Team for Our Daily Bread Designs. I look forward to working with Jen for the next month as well as seeing the fabulous creations everyone posts of her fantastic sketches.
Here’s the sketch for this week…
