Hello and Happy Thursday!
I want to thank everyone for the prayers & love that you've been sending for my Dad and our family! Each and everyone of them has truly touched my heart. And when things are hard, it's nice to have those to open up on my computer. I was able to spend the afternoon with Dad yesterday. He seemed to be having a good day and for that I was grateful. We went through old photos that I have since put into scrapbooks. One of his favorites seems to be the one of him walking me down the isle on my wedding day. He did look pretty great in his tux!!
Now it doesn't seem I was able to entice many more players, even with blog candy! Guess I will have to save it for another day. Thank you again to those that played (again!) Love you Connie & Tinla!! Because these ladies are such rockstars I have decided to feature them BOTH as this week's featured Sketch Artists!! Give it up for my die hard Sketchy Thursday enthusiasts......
CONNIE
TINLA
Both of these talented ladies are no stranger to Sketchy Thursday. Tinla has played along with ALL 150 of them!!! Yep, I kid you not. She's such a die hard that she has emailed me prior to going on vacation to get her hands on sketches early so she doesn't miss one! Tinla has an impeccable style that is all her own - from her amazing mixture of patterned paper to her use of dies & punches and let's not forget - those PEARLS!!! *wink*
And Connie, where do I begin with my favorite Dude Time gal?! Connie is a woman after my own heart. Not only does she love stamping, but she has a fantastic sense of humor that comes out in her amazing creations. That combined with her out of the box cards makes her a double threat! *grin* And let's not forget her wicked coloring skills!!
Be sure to check out Connie's blog, Grammy's Attic and Tinla's SCS gallery > HERE < to see more of their amazing work.
CONGRATULATIONS LADIES & thank you for your continued support of Sketchy Thursday!!!
This week's sketch was inspired by my Fairwee Mia card......
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. 10/26 to play along. When uploading to SCS and PCP or or your blog please use keyword ESS151 for the challenge.
Have a wonderful day!!!

Hmmm, my comment from yesterday wandered off somewhere! Maybe it took a coffee break. I love Tinla's work and I wish we could convince her to start a blog to show off her style (in addition to her gallery at SCS.) If I'm sharing honors with her, I'm in fantastic company! Still have you in our prayers, Tracy.
I'm off to print out the sketch and get a card made. Love the sketch this week.

TRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So so Sorry that I haven't been here in a while. Actually, I haven't been in any blogs in a while. The only reason I would go on the internet is to check my email or email my students. Anyways, I read a few of your last posts and wanted to say my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love you and thanks for all your continued inspirations. Be right back with a card! Hugs, NETTE

I hope all is well and I hope your dad is doing well - considering his condition. If you decide, I'd be happy to send a card - just let me know.
