Sketch For You To Try…

January 17, 2009, by {Jen}

Wanna win $450 worth of stamping goodies? Click HERE to see how. HERE is the official entry post.

The random winner of the blog tart posted last week is…
KAREN MOTZ! Click HERE to see her cute Elzybells card.
Karen, send me your snail mail info so I can send out your goodies {link to my email under my pic}.

Do you see ‘em? Sara put thumbnails in the “recent posts.” I am SO HAPPY about this! We’re still working on a few other tweaks and stuff. Isn’t she the bestest, tho!?!

Onto another SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY. Here is this week’s sketch…
sfytt_011709

My sample using the cutest bugg in town… LOVEY HUGGABUGG from Stamping Bella!
sfytt_011709_sample

Isn’t this creation from Kirsten just fab? Apparently this is great sketch for Stamping Bella stamps! :)

Wanna see more samples? Give some love to…

Shannan Teubner

Carole is taking a break this week so she can spend some time relaxing with the hubby in Aspen.

If you play along, just link your card on this post. When you upload to SCS, use the keyword SFYTT so we can see them all in one place. There are no rules to these sketches, just use your creativity and HAVE FUN!

I’m off to {fitness} Boot Camp this morning. Apparently the “pain is just weakness leaving your body” chick wants to see us run up and down the stadium in the cold. If you don’t here from me for several days, go ahead and assume the worst…LOL!

    These are both darling! What fun cards to wake up to! I Love how you colored the “Love Bug”. So perfect and the paper is scumptious! I absolutely love Kirsten’s card, too! The glitter snow is perfect! It makes me want to head to the slopes! Great job!

    Girl, I’m sending YOU the bill for my next Bella order!!! Your Huggabugg is just the sweetest little thing! Love that dp in the bg and the gorgeous satin ribbon. Very cool sentiment treatment, too! Kirsten’s is so cool! Love the all the wintry stuff … the glitter snow, clear snowflake and fun sentiment!
