Good morning! I am so excited to have been invited to be the August Guest Designer at Just Us Girls! If you've never played along with the JUGS girls you must check them out. Each week of the month they host a different type of challenge to get your creativity flowing:
Monthly Challenge Lineup:
Week 1 - Sketch
Week 2 - Technique
Week 3 - Color
Week 4 - Photo Inspiration
Week 5 - WILD card!
Now, sketches are not usually my favourite things to work with as I struggle to not take them completely literally. However, I forced my thoughts away from flowers and rectangles and when I saw my Paper Smooches Space Cadet set this idea came together pretty quickly. Love when that happens! Now hop on over to the JUGS blog to check out the gorgeousness from the Design Team and then put your thinking caps on and play along! You have until 9:00 PM EST on Thursday, August 9th.

Great job on the sketch...I hear you on the literal part...if the designer uses a flower on the sketch...I have to use a flower!!? You, however, are incredibly creative. Congrats on the gest spot!
Ahh...so so happy to have you playing with us at Just Us Girls Jen! And...I am right there with you...normally not the best sketch creater, but I loved this sketch too! And...I love how you interpreted it. Absolutely AWESOME!
Congrats!! Awesome card...

Congrats, Jen! And for not liking sketches, you hit this one out of the atmosphere ;) Practice makes perfect...or at least, practice means you won't pitch it out! (or pitch a fit..) Love the way you paper-pieced all the elements!
