Sketch For You To Try…

Posted by Jen | Bella, PaperTrey, cards, challenges, designer of the month | Saturday, August 22, 2009

Hooray for Saturday! This morning we are going to spend some time {again} rearranging furniture and prepping the nursery. So far we have a crib, changing table and rocker. Next month we will be adding a dresser, too. The “hard” part is that it is also going to remain part playroom. I almost feel like drawing a line down the middle of the room…LOL! The nursery will eventually convert fully into a playroom when baby boy del Muro moves into his “big boy” room, which is right next to Ellie’s room. I feel very fortunate that we have the space to do this, but it sure is a pain in the meantime! I will have pics up soon of the “new and improved” {can there really be such a thing…think about that one!} office/studio space. I love the new area that Tony and I are sharing. It just makes sense that we have it set up like that! After we get the nursery all set up, I will have pics of that, too.

Anyways, on to the SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY…
sfytt082209-1

This is honestly one of my favorite sketches EVER! I really hope that you will play along and see all the possibilities, too. I had originally planned {and actually did have one ready to go} to put a image on the panel that says “butterfly wishes” repeatedly. Then, I remember the Cuttlebug die that I got from the Bella store and thought that it would be fun to pair it with the sentiment. All of the DP and the green pearls are from the Bella store, too…

Designer of the Month, Megan, flipped the sketch and came up with this ever so darling card with Papertrey stamps…

    Thanks for the great sketch Jen! I had a few cards I need to make yesterday and headed right on over to your SFYTT. I had to change it just a little so it wasn’t so busy but I loved the bones of it. Great samples too! Have a great weekend.

    Great cards! Jen, how do you get your edges to distress so wonderfully like that? Mine never seem to get fully distressed when I use my fingernail or my distressing tool. Any tips?

    I created 2 cards based on the sketch:
