Happy first Saturday of the month, Sketch for You to Try {SFYTT} friends! Only two more sketches for the year! I am so excited for everyone that has been playing along each month for their chance at winning an AWESOME prize on Christmas Day! Will it be you?

I’m already working on the sketches for next year and lining up some great sponsors! There will be a few things changing, but for the most part you can expect another year of fun sketches to play along with!

I appreciate all of the SFYTT sponsors…THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! I had a lot of fun playing Waltzing Mouse Stamps last month! This month brings another awesome sponsor, VERVE STAMPS, who is offering up a set of choice to a random participant playing along with their Verve…

Last month we were sans a Designer of the Month, but this month I was a *little* more on top of things…thank goodness! Please welcome BRONI HOLCOMBE as the November Designer of the Month!…

A little about Broni in her own words…

I’m so honored to be Jen’s Guest Designer for November!
I’m a mother to 2 beautiful daughters, and a Nana to 3 young grandsons and an adorable granddaughter. I live in beautiful South Carolina where I’m an accountant by day for a major beverage distributor. I spend as much of my non-working time as possible in the paper-crafting world…either creating, or sharing and learning online.
I started stamping 6 years ago and was honored by being chosen as a member of the Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen design team a short 2 years later. Coloring is my passion, and Copic markers are my “weapon” of choice.
When I’m not crafting (or online), you can find me playing with the grandchildren, kayaking, swimming or planning my next trip to the beach!

Isn’t her card A-DOR-ABLE using the To the Moon set…
