Woo-hoo!!! It's time to get sketchy peeps! I hope everyone is having a fantastic week. My little one is on spring break this week and has been having a lot of fun with her grandparents & cousins. I just wish I didn't have to work. Wahhh!!! 
But in all honesty, I am 100% grateful to be able to say that. It wasn't that long ago that I wasn't working and scared for our family.
Thank you God for always providing!!!
And thank you to everyone that played along with last week's sketch. You guys had some really great ways of using the sketch! Just like this weeks featured Sketch Artist. Please join me in congratulating......
LOLA
I immediately fell in love with her use of the sketch. I'd say she kicked it up a few notches and in a good way! 
And those of you that follow my blog know how much I like stitching. And Lola's is just perfect. But what sinched it for me was this little snail. How cute is he? I love the way she colored him and added the little white dots to his shell. 
And while I love the beautiful flourish, this little snail is the scene stealer!! Be sure to check out Lola's blog Little Card Maker to give her some love and see what other gems you can find there. There are a lot!!
Congratulations again Lola!!!
Up next this week's new sketch. And like I usually do, it's based on a recent card of mine.
Based on my "You Perk Me Up" card:
How will you perk up this weeks sketch?
Remember 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. 5/4 to play along. When uploading to SCS and PCP or or your blog please use keyword ESS128 for the challenge.
See you soon!
Love that card, Lola. Cutest little snail I've ever seen! The colors are fresh and fun. Great job!
Tracy, nifty sketch. Looks like it will be fun to work with. I'll be back with my card soon.
