Sketch For You To Try…

Posted by Jen | Family, SFYTT 2010, The Cat's Pajamas, cards, challenges, designer of the month | Saturday, April 10, 2010

Happy Saturday everyone! Are you a SFYTT fan on Facebook? Click HERE if you want to be :)

Sorry I haven’t been posting as regularly as I have in the past. I plan to get into blogging more often soon. Nic has been quite a little fussy one, so {as I think I have noted before} my stamping time has been at a premium. I am hoping to get him more on a schedule, so I can schedule in some more cleaning AND STAMPING time! Wish me luck. In the meantime, I will continue to post what I have to post. Sometimes crafty stuff, sometimes some random tidbits. Today, of course, I have another SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY, but first a pic of my cry baby being a sweet happy baby…

I think this one will become a “go to” sketch for me!

Here’s my card using the soon to be released set {April 13}, Tutu Much, from The Cat’s Pajamas. No you aren’t seeing double, it’s matchy matchy to my TCP Tuesday post…

    Hi Jen, Love the baby pic, oh those eyes!!!

    Love your matchy-matchy card today, too! The layered circles are fun and fresh, and your sentiment flag is perfecto!

    Have a great weekend,
    Amy

    Jen, that sweet lil buddy doesn’t look anything like your description of a crying child. How precious and innocent! How’s Ellie doing as the big sistah? Count your blessings!
    Now to the card…another amazing feat by Jen! I like the matching papers, etc. I think we should all make matching cards…less waste, more fun, less searching, etc! that should be a challenge…whooo hooo!

    I can understand with the fussy baby thing. My first born was like that and I feel like he was attached to me 24/7 for the first 8 months or so. He’ll be 7 next week and he’s still my temper-mental child.

    Your card is so pretty. I love the colors and all of the tiny details. That image is adorable. Thanks for the fabulous sketch again this week.

    aww what a handsome little guy!!! He is just adorable…who would have thought a sweet guy like that can get fussy fits?! lol well I hope he grows out of that stage soon. :)

    Another great card and sketch, Jen!! Thank you so much and I really love how your sentiment “flies” out of the flower. :)

    Oh my gosh! Nic is precious!
    I love this sketch! I haven’t had a chance to play along yet but I can see it will be a Go To sketch for me too ;)
    Hope to play along tomorrow!

    Adorable photo of such a beautiful baby! He’s so precious. (more so when not fussy, right?) Love your sketch too and your card is OUTSTANDING, as always! Love that cute image and sentiment! The flower is the perfect “tropical” embellishment too! Just getting ready to post my vintage creation. Thanks Jen for another wonderful sketch challenge! :)

    Hi Jen, What an adorable baby. Enjoy him, even as he fusses. They grow way, way to fast!

    Your little baby boy is adorable! No need to castigate yourself for not posting as much as you did before he was born. We moms/grandmas totally understand having two children and a household to take care of! Leaves little time for much else.

    So, despite all you have on your plate, you have given us a great sketch and a fun example. I have yet to be able to join your sketch challenge but maybe this is the week or soon. Take care!!

    Oh what a angel. Oh there will be be plenty of time for cards. Enjoy every valuable second. Oh my heart just aches thinking how long it has been since my children were that young. God bless you sweetie and your precious family.

    My gosh, what a fabulous picture of Nic! It was really good to see you yesterday. Thanks so much for letting me love on your beautiful kiddos a bit. I will definitely be using this sketch this week. It’s fantastic, as is your card! Have a wonderful day!

    Love these big clear blue eyes! Certainly a charmer when he’s happy! I’ve tried to link to the slide show but I’m not sure how to do it. Here’s my link to SCS:

    Ah, what a cutie. I had one of those fussy ones. She’s 23 years old now, but I do remember how all-consuming it was to keep her happy. I don’t know how you do it all, but I’m so glad you do. Your sketch is fantastic.
