It's Thursday! And it feels like a Tuesday for me. Since I started my new job yesterday my week is all twisted around. At least there's only one more day until Friday. Thank you to everyone for their well wishes with my new job adventure. I always hate starting a new job. I guess it's the same for our little ones when they start a new school. No fun! It's funny how some childhood experiences resurface in adulthood.
I'll keep you guys posted on how things are going!! Are you ready to see this weeks amazing featured Sketch Artist? Let's get to it. Please join me in congratulating.......
MARY J
I was so drawn in to the amazing scene she created that I almost forgot about the sketch! She clearly had fun with this card. The image is adorable and her use of patterned paper is dead on. I especially like how she used her border punches and dies to tie everything together. And her coloring is rockin'!! Please join me in congratulation Mary J. You will definitely want to check out her blog Where's my Creativity. There's more creativity there to inspire you!!
Here's #144:
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. 8/31 to play along. When uploading to SCS and PCP or or your blog please use keyword ESS144 for the challenge.
Thanks for stopping by today!!!
You must have known what I needed next week for Dude Time! This is perfect!! I'll be posting it Tuesday evening. Thanks so much.
