Sketch For You To Try…

June 20, 2009, by {Jen}

This is the first of 2 posts that will happen today. In case you came looking for ABC Friday yesterday, it’s gonna happen a little later today. I actually had my Taylored Expressions monthly kit project done for yesterday and realized that I wasn’t supposed to post it until today and the last minute…oops! Anyways, it will go live at 8 PST.

So, before I get started on this week’s sketch stuff, I have to say THANK YOU to each of you for participating each week! I know that I don’t always have a chance to comment, but I am checking out all the creations and you all AMAZE and INSPIRE me!! Thank you for that!!

SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY…
sfytt062009

I sketched this card as square card, but then ended up making it a vertical card when I got to working on it. I just love the Flopsey line from My Favorite Things and I knew that I wanted to use my Valentine Flopsey from the moment I sat down.

    Thank you for this sketch. I was experiencing severe creative block trying to come up with a Father’s Day card. I posted it on my blog: http://artfeltstamping.blogspot.com/2009/06/kwerner-design-blog-color-inspiration.html

    What a great sketch. I don’t usually do the hidden circles, and now I’ve done them twice in one weekend! Thanks for the super sketch and examples from you and your SFYTT sistahs!

    Love the layout!! Both cards are wonderful! I like how Ashley changed the shapes (sometimes I get so focused on the sketch I forget that it is ok to think OUTSIDE the idea!! geesh)

    Will have to work on this later…first I need to find a 3″ spot on my desk to work!!
