Sketchy Thursday #47

We're back to our regularly scheduled program.  The stamp sale has been a huge success.  All orders that have been paid for as of yesterday afternoon have shipped.  Note to self, do NOT have a sale after you get sick!  LOL!  I can't believe how fast some of these things went.  But then again I should never underestimate an A Muse Addict!  You guys are the best.

Before I go on to today's post, I just want to clarify something as I've received several comments on this.  YES I STILL LOVE A MUSE!  Are you kidding me?  What's not to love?    I'm only downsizing because of financial need.   It's not pretty out there ladies and our family has been hit pretty hard.  My DH has taken another pay cut.  That's 2 in the past few months.  While we are grateful he is still working, it takes BOTH of his paychecks to pay our monthly rent, when it used to only take one.   So naturally with the hundreds & hundreds of stamps that I had, it felt like the right thing to do.  Plus I *knew* they would all go to good homes.   And now I have room for the new Mandy's world stamps! 

Okay so you guys ready for a rockin' sketch?  How about a rockin' Sketch Artist?  I thought so.  I was already so jazzed that we had so many participants play along this week, that viewing all of the cards was a huge bonus!   And once again it was SUPER difficult to narrow it down to just one winner.  Cause in my book all of you guys are fabulous.

But then I clicked on the last link to find this fabulous card by this week's featured Sketch Artist.....

------------------->  MICHELE HUEY <-------------------

 

Isn't he just the cutest?  I love how she paired him with this fun paper from Imaginisce.  Michele you rocked this week's sketch.  Congratulations girlfriend!!  Your work is truly inspiring!!

Now onto this week's sketch.   I had so much fun with this one.  But not as much fun as I would have liked, cause I didn't get to make my card yet.     I hope to get to in the next few days.

 

What will you do with this sketch?  I can't wait to find out!

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. 8/12 to play along.  When uploading to SCS please use keyword ESS47 for the challenge.

And............ I'm working on something else related to Sketchy Thursdays.  Stay tuned for more details.

Have a GREAT day!

YAY!! Michele; your card is just awesome; very harmonious and beautifully done:) Congratulations on being Sketch Artist this week...your card is gorgeous!!
Tracy; I am so sorry about the financial aspects. That was really amazing what you did (selling off precious stamps), and definitely those stamps went to good homes (including mine, heehee!). I hope things improve for you and your family soon...((hugs))! Will be back with a card; this week's sketch looks like a fantastic one (as they all are!):)
