Lots To Share On This Saturday…

Posted by Jen | MFT, cards, challenges, designer of the month | Saturday, January 24, 2009

Greetings from Texas where it has gone from 80 degrees to 30 degrees…yuck! Fortunately, I am playing hooky on {fitness} Boot Camp today, so I won’t be suffering running stadiums in the freezing air. I have two classes today that I am teaching. The first one is my Copic I class and then the other is the Sweet Treats class that I showed/told you about yesterday. The Sweet Treats class is also available by mail! Contact me {email link under my pic} if you are interested.

Don’t forget to send a card to Julie at DBU and enter your self in the drawing for $450 worth of stampin’ stuff!! All of the information and list of prizes can be found HERE.

Before I get right into the Sketch For You To Try, I want to introduce you to our newest team member…KELLY LUNCEFORD {aka atomicbutterfly}. I have long been a fan of her work and I think that she is the perfect addition to the SFYTT crew. Please give her a warm welcome!

Do you {heart} my sketches? Well, show the love on your blog with this blinkie badge. Click HERE to get it…

Now onto biz-ness! Here is the sketch for this week…
sfytt_012409

I have been on a vertical card kick lately, so it was nice to do one that was horizontal. Here is my sample using stamps from My Favorite Things…
sfytt_012409_sample2

This month’s Designer of the Month, Kirsten DuBosque, was on the same wavelength as me. Bright and MFT! I’m not sure where the sentiment is from, but it’s HILARIOUS!…

Amy Rohl
Amy Sheffer
Shannan Teubner
Susan Liles
Carole Burrage
and the newbie…Kelly Lunceford

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!

    We’ve pretty much been on the same wave length this whole month, haven’t we!? Love your card - the sentiment is perfect on that horizontal strip. Love the PP, too! :)

    Your sketch is wonderful and I’m saving it so I can use it later if I can’t this week. What I was looking for today was the DBU information. Unfortunately the link isn’t working and I’ve searched too long. Can you help me out?

  15. Comment by Carole (TruCarMa) — January 24, 2009 @ 2:53 pm

    LOVE these too cute samples, Jen! You’ve made me think of some changes I’d like to make to mine… It’s good when that happens. Growth and whatnot! Stay warm, girlie!

    OMG…what an adorable blinkie! I’ve never tried your sketches, but I now plan to :O) Glad I followed the blinkie link to your site. This week’s sketch is just perfect for a card I’m working on that had me stumped before today.

  32. Comment by Mindy Eggen — January 25, 2009 @ 7:14 pm

    Great job on the cards. I gave it a stab today. I usually over-think my cards so I tried letting the simplicity of the paper do the work. Here’s my card.
