Sketch For You To Try…

August 8, 2009, by {Jen}

Anyone else loathing the summer heat? I can’t imagine that my pregnancy is making it any easier for me, but I am miserable. Then again, the heat index has been hovering over 100 degrees, so I don’t see how it could be very enjoyable. I don’t live in Arizona {anymore}, so I can’t hear, “Well, at least it’s a dry heat.” Nope, here in TX it’s a wet, soggy, humid heat…moist, if you will {I know a lot people squirm at that word, so that just seems appropriate}. Backing up to the “It’s a dry heat” comment. David Spade really said it best in a comedy routine when he replied to that comment with, “Well, so is my oven, but you don’t see me crawling in there.” Point made.

What I am thrilled about is that it is Saturday. I have another Copic class today and of course, a new SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY…

Here’s my sketch using Bella stamps {Appley Bowl Huggabugg}…

Designer of the Month, MEGAN LOCK, came up with this darling creation using My Favorite Things stamps…

Great sketch, Jen! Love that bowl of apples and perfect bow on yours, and the beautiful sunrise/set/colors on Megan’s. Here’s to cooler weather — try to stay comfortable!

Cute cards. I need to try that “dry heat” comment on my brother who still lives in AZ. He likes to compare AZ’s “dry” heat to Calif’s “humid” heat. Thanks for the giggle today.

Hey girl…
two things…1) I hate the heat, but 2) I love the sketch.

Oh make it three… where are you teaching copic classes now? I’d like to learn about outlining, etc…
Let me know.
