Greetings SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY fans and friends! It’s the first Saturday of the month and I have another fun sketch to go along with another FABULOUS sponsor!
Let’s give a huge welcome and thank you to SKIPPING STONES DESIGN for being the September sponsor! I have been a fan for a long time of the stamps and I love the philanthropic work that the company does as well!
Like I noted last month, there is a lot of opportunity to make the sketch your own. Please embellish as you wish and just have fun with this one…
I used the fun, caffeine injected set FUNNY COFFEE Vol. 1…
Detail shots of coffee cup embellished with a felt heart and baker’s twine…
Sentiment…
As you can see, I “made it my own” by tilting my panels a little bit. This actually wasn’t planned, but before it was all glued down the panel ended up like that and I just went with it. Funny how that happens sometimes!!
Are you interested in being a Designer of the Month? I choose each D.O.M. from a previous month’s entrants. This month, I would like to welcome SFYTT fan ALYSSA SCRITCHFIELD who know a little about ink on and off paper

A little about Alyssa in her own words…
Hey there! I’m so stinkin’ excited to be September’s Guest designer!!! I know everyone says that, but seriously?? My very first card related blog post is following a Sketch For You To Try!! Plus, September is what I celebrate as my Birth Month, so more fun to be had by all!! I’ve been stamping for about 4 years now - mainly cards but I’ve done a few scrap lay outs. My style tends to lean towards…I don’t know? Coloring? It’s rare that I make a card with just a stamped image. I am obsessed with my Copics!! Which, by the way, I hated to begin with!! I love to color botanical/floral images and whimsical cuties that catch my fancy. I’ve always loved art but have never been an *artist*. I think stamping drew me in because I could finally put to paper what I see in my head…at least most of the time! ;o) I’m married to a wonderful man and have an {almost} 4 year old boy. I also love tattoos, heavy metal, motorcycle riding and hanging out with my little family! Let’s get to playing with Jen’s fantabulous SFYTT for September!
Here’s her adorable card…
Want a little more inspiration? See what all the SFYTT Sisters have come up with…
