Happy Valentine’s Day Sketch…

February 14, 2009, by {Jen}

Happy Valentine’s Day! Here is a random Valentine’s Day fact for you…

In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.

Being that it is Saturday, that means I have another SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY! By the way, if you want the badge below CLICK HERE.

Here’s the sketch for this week…

My sample, using stamps from Stamp A Sweet Impression by Taylored Expressions

    Jen, I think I may try to start playing along! If I can manage a brief interlude out of my bed (suffering from strep) and into the studio I would like to start joining your sketch challenges!

    These are wonderful cards! Very inspiring!

    I’m going to use Carole’s expression: Jen, this one is so sweet it’s giving me a toothache! Love the sentiment banner and those papers are so fun!

    Jody, love the muted spring look to your lover-ly card!

    HVD!

    Love the sketch. I had a lot of fun with it. I made a card for an old friend I seldom see any more, so I used her favorite colors and an old favorite stamp.
    Both of the samples are awesome!
    Thanks

    Oops! I added my name to the sketch participation by mistake - sorry Jen.
    I was adding your sketch link logo to my site as per instructions but then when I thought I was adding a comment to let you know I ended up adding myself to the sketch challenge in error. Can you please remove me from your list. Sorry but I am an IT dunce - most things I do I don’t actually know HOW I do them!

    Another day I will play along. Much appreciated.
