Valentine’s Sketch For You To Try…

Posted by Jen | MFT, SFYTT 2010, cards, challenges, designer of the month | Saturday, February 13, 2010

Wow, did we get some snow here in North Texas this week! I shoveled snow for the first time in my life and made a snowman that was actually of substantial size…for North Texas, at least. Here’s a pic of our dogs, Cooper and Abby, playing in the snow…

    Holy smokes! That is a lot of snow! I’m sure you’ll agree that shoveling is NOT fun. I hate it and don’t wish it upon anyone…lol Hopefully it’s the last time you have to do such a horrible chore! haha!

    GREAT layout! I’m still not finished with last weeks…ack! BUT I do have the weekend off and will be stamping tomorrow!

    Fabulous samples from you both! Love that tree from MFT!

    Have a great weekend!

    I love seeing dogs romping in the snow! My dog LOVES it and we get a lot in Buffalo, NY! How fun to finally experience shoveling and making a snoman! Something you’ll never forget for sure!

    Love your sketch and your card is beautiful! Great choice of a guest designer in Mona! Her work is always superb! Great SFYTT contest!

    Jen your dogs must have had so much fun in the snow. We have 2 Huskies who can’t get enough of it. Funny this winter we have hardly had any snow in Ottawa, On Canada. Have fun while it lasts. Love your cards.
