Sketch For You To Try & A Chance To Win…
See deets way below!
Greetings from North TX. I am actually writing this early, knowing that I will be on a plane this morning heading to a quick visit with my parents this weekend. I am looking forward to seeing them and basking in the Arizona sun. For those of you that don’t know, I spent many of my younger years in the Valley of the Sun…a.k.a. Phoenix. I went to 3 of the 4 years of high school out there and then went on to graduate from Arizona State University. After college I needed a change and decided to move to San Diego. At the time of the decision, I had no place to live and no job. EEK! Well, I didn’t end up on the street panhandling. I ended up answering an ad that stated that there was a room for rent in downtown San Diego with utilities included. Wanna know who my landlord was?…the one and only…Tony! We’ve now been married for 6 years! I ended up finding a job, too. I guess everything worked out.
EDIT: The trip is a NO GO! The stars have not aligned and we will not be going. I am BUMMED! Ellie is sniffly and sneezy, I am still not 100% so it just isn’t going to work out. Whhaaaa! (yep, I really did cry!)
Onto this week’s SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY…
Here’s my take on the sketch using Prism Papers and a Papertrey stamp…
I had heard that Prism papers work like a dream in electronic die cutting machines. It’s true! The blade cuts through them like buttah!! As you can see, I continue to be addicted to my Spook Alley design card for the Slice!
A couple of detail shots of the glittery punched pieces I added…
Prism papers used: BR270-D Kraft, Y098-E Intense Yellow, OR041-E Intense Orange, V141-E Majestic Purple Dark, BK281-F Black, W031-D White Prismatic
Lorelie Kim, this month’s Designer of the Month, created this cutie patootie sample…
