A Sketch for You to Maul, I Mean Try

Yes, I mangled Jen's Sketch for You To Try this week. Ugh!! I had to elongate the sketch to accommodate my image and sentiment, which I had to use so that this card could double for my OCC sample, too (more on that in a bit). Anyway, perhaps if you squint and make your eyes go all blurry, you'll see some resemblance to the sketch ;)

So, for SURE go visit i{heart}2stamp, where you can see more samples - the first by Jen, and the second by a new guest designer for September, whom you're sure to love (I'll let Jen spill the beans, though). And while you're there, you can also check out Jen's blog candy! You'll want to pay a visit to Amy, Carole, Shannan, and Susan, too, to see what they have cooked up. We hope you can play along! If you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword: SFYTT.

So yes, as I mentioned, this is my sample for this week's challenge at Our Creative Corner, too, which is to make a humorous card. Guess who the host is for September?! Yours truly. A little extra info on the challenge this week.... It's been documented here on this blog before that this is the wonderful year I turn 40. Well, in fact, this is the week I turn 40! So I'm counting on all my OCC friends to keep me laughing instead of crying. I hope you'll play!! You better - c'mon, it's my birthday!! Plus we have a really awesome present to give away!! You'll find all the details on the blog, along with samples by the rest of the team: Cindy Haffner, Dawn Easton, Denise Marzec, Jennifer Meyer, Julee Tilman, Laurie Schmidlin, and Lynda Benden. Did you see? Did you see? Julee, who guest designed for us all last month, has joined us permanently! Woohoo!! Welcome, Julee!!

Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
