I Heart You…

Posted by Jen | Bella, cards, challenges, designer of the month | Saturday, February 28, 2009

I do, I really do! That is why I am offering up blog candy for those that participate in this week’s challenge. This is how it is gonna work…

THREE ways to win…
1. Debbie Daniels is such a sweetie and donated one of those cutie patootie “Eat Sleep Stamp” koozies that you saw here yesterday {on her blog, too!}. One will be given away to a random participant of this week’s Sketch For You To Try.
2. Another random participant will be chosen and if they have my blinkie on their blog, they will be getting a goodie bag from me.
3. If there are 75 or more {unique} participants, I will be putting together another lil’ somethin’ somethin’ {I’m thinking Primas, yummy new DP, and a wide variety of other embellies} to give out to another random participant.

All participants must link through Mr. Linky and all winners will be announced NEXT Saturday. Good luck!

This week’s SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY

Note: The different colors/shades indicates that different DP, stamped background, cardstock, embossed paper, etc. should be used.

Here’s my sample using Stamping Bella’s Lilly Loveaboo…

    cute sketch- hope I can find the time this afternoon!

  10. Comment by Amy/rohla — February 28, 2009 @ 2:51 pm

    Jen, the colors are yummy and I love all the dots! Does it get any better than that double bloom, and the heart border is the cherry on top!

    Jody, love that leanin’ tree and your sweet bunny. That ribbon treatment is awesome…I’m too scared to try it for fear my sewing machine would be out the window and the bottle of margaritas would be gone!

    Hugs,
    Amy

    Jen,

    Thanks for another great sketch! I found this one especially challenging, but I like that. You make me stretch and I love to be stretched! I feel like I still have sooooooooooo much to learn, but each time I try something new, I feel such a sense of accomplishment. I added your blinkie to my blog today, you have earned it!
