SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY 2012…
It’s the first Saturday of the month and that means that it is time for another SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY {aka SFYTT}. This year brings 12 new sketches, new and returning sponsors and a whole lotta fun stamping inspiration!
You may have already noticed the new post time…11am EST. Also there will be more uniform posting throughout the month. I will be posting the {monthly} sketch each Saturday along with links to the SFYTT Sisters that are posting that day. Just so you know how it will work…All of the Sisters will post on the first Saturday of the month, then 1/2 will post on the 2nd Saturday and the other 1/2 will post on the 3rd Saturday and then we all come together again during the last week {not necessarily the last Saturday for all of the designers} of the month. Clear as mud? LOL! Hopefully, this will help SFYTT Fans know when and where to seek and find inspiration and samples.
Starting last year we introduced a monthly sketch along with monthly sponsors. Same thing goes this year! And, to kick off the new year in super swanky style, The Cat’s Pajamas is the January SFYTT sponsor {YAY!}…
The January 2012 SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY…
If you keep up with my blog, you know that I am also lucky enough to be on the TCP Design Team and we are in the midst of sneak peeking the newest release and today we are featuring the set, Bunny Side Up, which I paired with the new Lacy Floral Doily as the circle panel…
Bunny and doily detail…
Sentiment and orange acrylic flatback embellishments…
In addition to fun monthly sketches and top notch sponsors, we will also continue to have SFYTT participants chosen to be the DESIGNER OF THE MONTH {more details outlined in the graphic below}. This month, I would like to introduce you to SFYTT and TCP fan Christyne Kane…
A little about Christyne in her own words…
Hello, my name is Christyne Kane and I am super excited to be January’s Designer of the Month for SFYTT! I’m currently a graduate student working on my PhD in biotechnology. I am also mom to two wonderful dogs, an Australian Shepherd (Bud) and a Border Collie (Myth), and a cat (Kaiya). I’ve enjoyed stamping in my spare time to relive stress and indulge my creativity for 6 years. It all started one holiday break from college when my mom went to a stamp party and brought home all these wonderful toys; I was hooked!! When I’m not working on my degree or crafting, my interests include training and competing my dogs in dog agility. I look forward to seeing all of your beautiful creations this month using Jen’s fabulous sketch!
Don’t you just love her card using the Birthday Bunny set from The Cat’s Pajamas…
Now, I know that this post is getting to be a little out of control in length, but I need to share a few more things before signing off. First, the details…
Second, links to the SFYTT Sisters and TCP Design Team with more SFYTT inspiration and samples for you to check out…
