Happy first Saturday of the month! It’s time for another great {sponsored} sketch! I’m glad to see many of you have been playing along each month for a chance at the grand prize. Of course, you can jump in at any time for fun…that is what this hobby is all about, right?!

Thank you to all our previous sponsor’s including April’s UNITY STAMP CO. I have a few Itty Bitties to send out to…

#32 Katy with THIS great Unity creation. Katy, just send me an email with all your info and I will get those sent off to you soon.

Our sponsor this month is the fun and fresh…YOUR NEXT STAMP and they have a special offer just for our SFYTT fans…

Are you interested in being a Designer of the Month? I choose each D.O.M. from previous month’s entrants. This month, I would like to welcome SFYTT fan and Your Next Stamp DT Member, Kerri Michaud

A little about Kerri in her own words…
Hello! My name is Kerri Michaud and I am thrilled to be the SFYTT May Guest Designer! I adore Jen’s sketches, and I’m so excited that Your Next Stamp is the sponsor this month! I have been stamping for almost 3 years now, and I have loved every minute of itJ I’m a stay at home mom to 3 children, ages 8, 6, and 3, and have been married to my wonderful husband, Barry for 11 years. Yes, Kerri and Barry or as some of our friends call us-CareBear LOL! Besides stamping, I have been attempting to learn how to use my camera. I have taken a couple of online photography classes, and am having so much fun! I am a reality t.v. junkie, and a lover of most crime shows. I look forward to seeing all of your beautiful creations this month using Jen’s fabulous sketch!

Here’s her darling card…
