Sketch For You To Try…

Posted by Jen | Bella, cards, challenges, designer of the month | Saturday, August 15, 2009

Greetings! Thank you EVERYONE for all the birthday wishes and baby boy wishes. It’s been very fun the last couple of days! As I write this, I am watching Twilight for the 3rd or 4th time. I love this movie now, but I didn’t really care for it the first time that I saw it. I that “Edward’s” acting was horrid, but I have grown to like the charm that comes with Mr. Cullen {even if it really is a little bit of bad acting}.

Today we are off to get a changing table and make a little trip to IKEA {YAY!!}. I am so excited about getting to pick out some new stuff for the lil’ guy coming our way in January. I still think that the girl stuff is way cuter, but I am really starting to adore the little boy stuff, too.

Anyways, here is the sketch for this week… {CLICK FOR A LARGER VIEW}

My sample using Stamping Bella with a Anna inspired snowflake…

Detail shot {now you can really see how I really mis-cut the circle stamped image that fits PERFECTLY in a Nestie}…
