Welcome to another Thursday & another featured Sketch Artist! Sorry today's post is coming so late. My goal is to always post them first thing in the morning, but today got a little hectic. So without futher delay, I'd like to thank everyone that participated in last week's challenge. I know I say it every week, but all of the entries were REALLY good. I wanted to pick so many of you as our featured Sketch Artist, but alas this one really jumped out at me............
--------------------> ARMIE !!! <-----------------------
CONGRATULATIONS ARMIE!!!! Your card is awsome and all of the fun details you added make you this week's Sketch Artist!
We are up to sketch #38! I think I'll definately have to do some blog candy when we hit #52!
Here is this week's sketch. It's for a square card this time. But please don't feel limited to do one just because I did. I just like to mix it up because when I first started doing square cards I was stumped and found it challenging. But I got passed it and love it as an alternative!
Here's my card. Pretty straight forward. Actually boring. You won't believe the 'issues' I had trying to make a card last night. It was just one of those evenings when everyone in the house wanted or demanded my attention. Can't they do anything without me?!? You girls know what I mean. DD can't find her other shoe, DH wants to know what's for dinner. Phone is ringing and no one will answer it as if they can't hear it. AGHHHHHHHHH - Calgon take me away already!
Okay, so my not so hot card.....
I used my Martha Steward mirco hearts border bunch for the edges. Square notecard by A Muse is blush and the center strip is plum. I also used my new deckled rectangle nesties to crop my princess bunny. Sentiment is by Elzybells.
Your turn!
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. 5/27 to play along. When uploading to SCS please use keyword ESS38 for the challenge.
Also don't forget my Blogoversary challenge is in full swing and there are still 5 days to particpate. Don't you want a chance for a shopping spree at All That Scraps?????
See THIS post for more details.
Have a wonderful day!!

A fun sketch that gave me just a bit of trouble. Most likely because I squeezed it down to a rectangle card ;) You can see what I came up with on my blog; http://krazysplace.blogspot.com/2009/05/penny-black-eat-sleep-stamp.html
