Happy almost end of the week gals! I have a new little sweet something for you to jump start your stamping weekend. I had fun playing along again this week. As I'm trying to get a new routine together for myself part of that will be to do something stamping related every day. Ideally that would be a card. But sometimes you know your mojo just won't cooperate. I know that never happens to us. *wink* That could be a day of coloring or just stamping images. You get the idea.
I know you guys are just as excited to see who the first featured Sketch Artist of 2010 is. Am I right? It was super tough for me to chose just one from this week's submissions. Really. They were all FANTASTIC!
Without further adieu ladies give it up for this week's Sketch Artist......
------> LESLEY <-----
Lesley submitted this FUNtastic card....
I love all of the buttons and the bright play with colors she used. And did you guys see her rockin' coloring? Girl has da skillz!!! Be sure to stop by her blog, Our Scrappy Life to give her some love.
Lesley for being the first Sketch Artist for 2010!! You blew me away with your awesome card!
Who will be the next one?? Maybe it's you. Yeah, you the one reading the screen right now. You won't know unless you play though. Hopefully this will help you.
I HAD to use my other Pure Innocence image - Heart Stripes. Could she be any cuter? My card also qualifies for Joanne B.'s beloved challenge. Check out her awesome challenge giveaway!!!
I am determined to use stuff I already have on hand. You know it feels really good to create something that way. Since I can't really help stimulate the economy right now, going shopping in my own room was fun again! I have to admit that all too often I tell myself that I have to go shopping to get just the right stuff for 'something I may be working on later'. And it's funny that that later never happens and the pile of paper, embellishments, etc. just gets bigger! You guys know what I mean? LOL!!
As always 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. 1/20 to play along. When uploading to SCS and PCP or or your blog please use keyword ESS66 for the challenge.
Can't wait to see what you guys do this week!!! Make it a great day and I will see you all tomorrow.
Hugs,
Great cards. And, what a fun sketch. I hope to create something with it this weekend.
