Happy Saturday! This week flew by with school and swim lessons filling most of days. Nic rolled over this week, too! YAY Nic! Here’s a pic from the other day of my lil’ man…

CINDY BEACH!!

Congrats Cindy! Please email me {link under my pic on the left}

Ok, here’s this week’s sketch…

My sample is INVISIBLE! I bet you didn’t know I had such super powers! The truth is that I did make a sample. I then threw it away and made another. I then threw that one away and started on another when I realized just how ticked I was and set everything aside until I can be happy with this sketch. I know that one of you sweet ladies is going to pipe up and say that what I threw in the trash was possible very nice. Believe me, it sucked. On many levels!! LOL!! I will give it another go soon, tho!

It’s quite obvious that Iwona “Chupa” did not have any problems and created this STUNNER {wow, wow and more wow}…

I’m sure all my friends would agree…right, friends? This is all about being an MFT Fabulous Friend, though. You can check out my creations that I made for being such a good friend over on the MFT BLOG. Here’s a lil’ peekie…

Happy March! Boy, was last month fun with such a great giveaway and search for this month’s Designer of the Month. I don’t have a huge prize up for grabs this month, but from now on I will be choosing the next Designer of the Month from the participants that upload their card/creation to the SFYTT posts.

One of last month’s participants and this month’s Designer of the Month is fellow North Texan, Angie Tieman…

A little about Angie in her own words…
I’m a paper-crafting fool who loves staying up all night creating and sleeping in late in the mornings, which can be a problem when you’re also a 2nd grade teacher! When I’m not stamping, I love lazing about at home with my husband of 19 years and my precious dog Nick, cropping with my girlfriends, searching antique stores and flea markets for treasures, and working on home decorating projects.

You can visit Angie on her blog, SCHWOO.

Here’s the sketch for this week…

Here’s my take on it using What’s Crackin’ from My Favorite Things…

Detail shot…

Here’s Angie’s great sample…
