Happy almost Friday everyone!
I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Hopefully it won't be as hot as last weekend. I think I may have mementioned before that the heat & I really don't work well together. It's really easy for me to get dehydrated and that will always trigger a migraine for me. Not fun! ![]()
It's so funny I was worried about last week's challenge being too simple, but from the feedback I received from a lot of people it sounds like it was just the thing. I love it when that happens. ![]()
You guys seriously turned up the challenge with some fabulous entries this week. It was really hard to pick just one winner. But there was just something special about this week's pick. You'll see why......
This week's featured Sketch Artist is.................
--------------------> ARMIE <----------------------------
Here is her SUPER card. Don't you just love it? As I commented on Armie's card I mentioned to her that this reminded me of how I felt I needed to be like this Super Bella on most days. Mom, wife, employee, maid, chauffeur, teacher, cook, etc...... You guys can relate right? We ARE the stronger sex girls! And there's a good reason Mother's Day comes BEFORE Father's Day - payback ladies! LOL!!! Just kidding.
Congratulations Armie. We love your card! ![]()
Ready for another sketch? Ask and you shall receive. Here's sketch #34:
For some reason I immediately went to this image. Either I have Cinco de Mayo on the brain or I needed a drink yesterday.
What will YOU come up with?
I'll choose the most clever, creative, and cute creation from the submissions this week to be the next Sketch Artist. Your design will also be featured on my blog next week!
You have until next Wed. 4/29 to play along. When uploading to SCS please use keyword ESS34 for the challenge.
Be sure to stop back in tomorrow. I will have a card from the new Gingersnaps Celebrate set!
Have a margarita kind of day!

Okay-- your happy almost Friday made me look at the calendar because I overlooked the "Almost" and then for a minute thought maybe it WAS Friday. Now I'm disappointed that it's not! :) Hope your headache's go away--- DRINK LOTS OF WATER!!! :)
