Ohhhh my gawddddddd!! Can I just tell you that this darn daylight savings time is killing me?! Are you guys having a hard time too? I've been getting to bed at a decent hour, but am still so tired in the morning. I'm hoping this goes away soon. I don't like not feeling like myself!! It's a good thing I got most of my stamping in before the time change.
As most of my weeks go, today is one of my favorite days, not just because it's almost Friday, but because I get to announce a new featured Sketch Artist!! Ladies give it up for......
MICHELE H.
Here is the winning card that made me go ohhhh la la!!! I'm sure you will see what pulled me in about her card. Yes you guessed it. Pretty much everything!! Michele is such a meticulous crafter and it pays off BIG with her amazing attention to detail and awesome coloring!! Michele you have some serious skillz girl!!
You can see more of Michele's work on her SCS gallery ---> HERE <---
Michele!!
Are you guys ready for number 75? Well here you go.....
And here's my take on my own sketch........
I really do like the way this turned out. This cutie is SugarPlums Lil' Bug Emmafrom the recently released SugarPlums Spring Kit. Each image is now available as a single stamp purchase. I played my colors off of the patterned paper which is from 3 Bugs in a Rug. Plus I wanted to use my new ruffled ribbon from May Arts. Isn't it yummy? Sentiment is from AmyR's Spring sentiments set.
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. 3/24 to play along. When uploading to SCS and PCP or or your blog please use keyword ESS75 for the challenge.
Thanks for stopping by today!!
your card is ADORABLE!!!! I LOVE that image and your ever so sweet papers and trim. I have missed participating the past few weeks. This sketch is top priority this week. Thanks for the inspiration :)
