The first Saturday of the month is always exciting, as I get to introduce a new Designer of the Month to you. This month, we have another very talented stamper that is going to be playing along with the SFYTT Sisters.

Please give a warm welcome to Jenn Diercks!!

Here’s a little about Jenn in her own words…
I am a SAHM to two very energetic boys and I have been married to my wonderful husband for over 7 years. Growing up I dabbled in crafts, but it was my Mom who was always the crafty person in our family. As a child I loved to cross stitch. That was about the extent of my crafting skills. Before I had children I was a Special Education teacher for high school students in an alternative day school and the only class I ever struggled with teaching was Art class. My first attempt at stamping was when I made my oldest son’s birth announcements. It was not until 3 years later when I attended a Stampin’ Up! workshop that I fell in love. I signed up two weeks later and have never looked back. Stamping is now a daily part of my life and has been for the last 2 1/2 years. I am thrilled to have this creative outlet and I like that I have my own identity outside of being a wife and mom. The best part of this entire experience is all of the people I have met and become friends with just because we share this incredible hobby. Stampers truly are the best!
I want to thank Jen for the incredible honor she has awarded me in asking me to be the guest designer for the month of March. Sketch Challenges are my favorite of all of the challenges out there and I look forward to playing along with her and her wonderfully creative team for the next few weeks.

Here’s this week’s sketch…
