August SFYTT

It's the first Saturday of August and that means it's time for a new Sketch For You to Try AND a new sponsor!! This month's challenge is being sponsored by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! (psst...I heard that they're having a new release coming up on August 21 with some peeks starting on the 18th, so be sure to check them out!).


But first things first, here's a look at the August Sketch:


Now, if you're a regular reader of my blog you know that I'm NO fan of the dreaded tilted panel and I will admit I was cursing Jen del Muro QUITE A BIT in the process of making my sample card. I *almost* caved and made the stupid thing nice and straight, but since I'm kind of the new girl and all, I didn't want to go breaking the rules this early in the game and get myself fired or something! {wink}. I gotta get nice and comfy and suck these girls in with my sweetness (ha!) before I go all crazy on them. But man, I don't know how many more tilted panels I can take. Although...with a little language therapy (read: swearing and muttering under my breath) I pulled through and can grudgingly admit that it's actually a pretty great sketch. I'll even admit that I might have made a 2nd card using the same sketch (WITH another tilted panel! gasp!) that I'll be sharing in a couple of days, so stay tuned. Anyway, enough of that. Let's get on to my sample card.


I used the cute little Jilly the Jellyfish stamp along with some printed digi papers from All Wet by Melissa Bennett (Sweet Shoppe).

Be sure to stop by the rest of the SFYTT Sisters' blogs to see what they've been doing with the sketch this month:
