Welcome to Sketchy Thursday!!!
Thank you guys for hanging in there with me over the last week. Listing all my stamps felt like it took over my life. It's safe to say I won't be listing anything else anytime soon. LOL!! In case you missed the post somehow click below....
----------> STAMP SALE <---------
Thank you to everyone that purchased something. You guys literally saved my life!! I'm almost caught up on the bills. I have just a little ways to go. I can't tell you guys what a relief it is knowing that my beloved stamps have gone to good homes!!
Are you guys ready for an actual posting??? You know the kind with a card! Me too! I first have to tell you who our fantabulous Sketch Artist is! Ladies the one, the only......
--------> TINLA <--------
Don't you just L*O*V*E it!!! This sweet setting and color combo grabbed my attention immediately. And what about those yummy pearls? I know, right? Love them! Tinla always knows how to pick just the right everything when she designs her cards. Sweet & simple. She has a style that is all her own! If you haven't already been to Tinla's SCS gallery click HERE to check it out.
Let's get ready for sketch #72 ----- Yes more cicles. Sorry I just couldn't resist!!
Here's my card. As you can see I flip it on it's side. I had to pat myself on the back for not being so literal with the sketch. I'm trying to work outside my comfort zone. KWIM??
I used this adorable bear from Beary Expressions stamp set from Taylored Expressions. I paper pieced her with some of my Bo Bunny Kitchen Spice patterned paper that I had, again trying to stick by my goal of only using what I have on hand. I just love the colors of this paper. Some brown buttons and brown/white gingham ribbon to top it off.
Your turn! 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. 3/3 to play along. When uploading to SCS and PCP or or your blog please use keyword ESS72 for the challenge.
Be sure to check back tomorrow as sneak peeks start for the March stamps at All That Scraps. There will be some new stuff that will have you reaching for your pocket books... again!
