August Sketch For You To Try…
It’s the first Saturday of the month and time for another SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY! I think that you guys will love this one as much as I do. It’s simple and fun, yet there is a lot of opportunity to “make it your own.” Don’t forget that you can embellish as desired, as long as you have the basic layout.
What do you think?…
As with each and every month, I am please to announce our FABULOUS August sponsor…
KRAFTIN’ KIMMIE STAMPS! New stamps from Kraftin’ Kimmie are releasing on August 21st {Krafty Peeks starting on the 18th!}
Here’s my card…
As you can see, I eliminated the panel behind the main image panel do to size limitations. I really wanted to keep this as A2 size, so that meant I to tweak it a little bit.
Detail shot…
This image, Angry Ballerina, just CRACKS ME UP every time I look at it. Ellie even got a kick out of it and asked me to stamp her off some to color. I really enjoyed coloring this image. It’s been awhile since I colored an image of this size and it was so nice and relaxing to do so! I think that some more Kraftin’ Kimmie stamps will be making their way into my collection. I’ll just refer to them as a peace of mind investment. LOL!
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 **NEW MAMA**, TENIA NELSON.
A little about Tenia in her own words…
Hello all my name is Tenia Nelson and I am a 30 year old jazz pianist, music teacher and paper crafter that lives in Denver, Colorado. I am married to a great guy named Tim, I am momma to Thelonious(Theo) and I have two wonderful doggie “kids” Miles and Brillo. When I am not playing everywhere in town, teaching wild and crazy kids, or making cards, I play soccer with the hubby and just hang out with my friends!!
Here’s her baby inspired card…
