The Sketch for You to Try for March is a fun one!


Here's my take on it

Don't tell my kids, but *I* am as ready for the end of school as they are! haha

Thanks for looking!

 Today I'm grateful for: a quick visit with my brother, Twizzlers, easy math lesson, the 'problem' that Devon reads quickly and I struggle to keep him in books, Em's crazy corkscrew curls

 Stamps: The Stamps of Life
Paper: Scrap pile!
Extras:  button from bin of ancient buttons

Feb SFYTT

Yes, it's practically the last hour to post my Feb Sketch for You to Try.  I've looked at the sketch many times, but couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with it.


Last night as I was going to bed and it hit me!  Yay!  Then, this morning, the tandem bike stamp I wanted to use was WAY too large for the circle.  Boo!  So, all of that is to say ... here's take two.

Thanks for looking!

 Today I'm grateful for: cinnamon sugar syrup in my coffee, lovely surprise card in the mail, dog sleeping on my cold toes, avocados, exciting history lesson today

 Stamps: You+Me=Bliss
Paper: Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934
Extras:  Twinery charcoal twine, buttons from old tin found at garage sale, EAD designs scallop circle sticker

On a Roll

I looked at the Jan 2012 Sketch for You to Try many times.  I really liked the sketch, but wasn't sure which stamps would fit it.



Then I saw a Studio G dice stamp and it came together.  I combined the sentiment on the Studio G stamp and my new fave funny tacky image from Unity.

A few dashed lines for the 'sheets', the end curled slightly so it stands off the page and I'm done.  Now just to decide who should get this errr ummm 'way to go' card. groan

Thanks for looking!

 Today I'm grateful for:  my son's guitar teacher, a sick friend is feeling better, a nice long email from a far away friend, great book that will keep me up too late, and cinnamon M&Ms

Stamps: Studio G for sentiment, Unity Crappy Day
Paper: Studio G
