Hey there, Holiday Shoppers! Hopefully you're well on your way to getting all of your decorating and shopping done and you're just ready to sit down and stamp today. Sounds good to me! {For me, though, it's the little boy's 10th birthday. WOW...how did he get so old so quickly?! And he's having three other litle boys come over and spend the night. Hmmm...who's great idea was that?!}
There are some changes coming over the river and through the woods for JEN'S SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY. Stay tuned for more details on that. In the meantime, the SFYTT challenge for this week is to go back into the archives and choose a favorite SFYTT sketch and make your card with that. See...how fun, right? It's all up to you. Which sketch challenged you most? Which one were you dying to try but didn't have the time? Now's the time to pick one and go for it!
I chose the sketch from March 6th of this year. An oldie but a goodie! I'm still inking up new images from THE CAT'S PAJAMAS. This little cutie is from the JINGLE BELLS set. These images are just sooo sweet. AND...the lines are a bit bolder and they ink up and stamp so cleanly. I love it when that happens. In addition to the new stamp, I used the new BIG SCALLOP CUTUPS die, also from THE CAT'S PAJAMAS. I am so diggin' that big ole bracket shape. It's perfect!
Oooh, I almost forgot to mention...I also used SONY'S TCP TUESDAY COLOR CHALLENGE on this card. I think there's still time to join in and post your card using Aqua, Ice Blue, and Lavender. Post your card link over at Alma's blog to be considered for next month's Swanky Stamper title!
Why not join us this week? Take some time for yourself and do some stamping today. Need more inspiration? Click in with the other SFYTT girls to see what they've chosen to create today...
