Howdy, everyone! I'm going on Day 5 of not leaving the Burragio, having been buried in a foot-plus some of snow on Tuesday, then another couple of inches yesterday. The forecast calls for even more tomorrow. And yet: I have not killed a single solitary soul! Not a child, not a canine, not a husband. Ain't I somethin'? A paragon of virtue and patience, that's me! ;)
Weeks like these make me so happy I'm a crafter. I can make stuff, troll around crafty sites and blogs on the internet, do way too much internet shopping, and basically keep myself entertained indefinitely. If only there weren't so many interruptions by other household residents. Like this six-year-old, demanding my attention at this very moment. Good thing he's cute...
Are you ready to see this month's Sketch For You To Try? I know you are! It's a doozy, toozy. And we here on Team SFYTT are thrilled to tell you that our sponsor this month is the up-and-coming new company, Anita Be Stampin'! Without further adieu, here's the sketch...
And here's my take on it, using the fun new 'Love Bots' set...
Here's a full-frontal, no side-tilt view:
Have I told you lately how much I love glitter? So much so that I broke out four different kinds to give these metallic love birds some appropriate sheen. You know who/whom/whatever I also love? My sensational SFYTT Sisters, that's who/whom/whatever! Be sure to visit the gals I'm linking below, as well as the one and only Jen del Muro's blog to see what she and our February Guest Designer, Becky Carafa, have concocted for your inspirational soup.
Thanks again to Anita Be Stampin for sponsoring us this month! I can attest first-hand that Anita's stamps are of the highest quality rubber. They're cling mounted, beautifully packaged, and they stamp like a dream. Anita is generously offering a $25 gift certificate to one participant playing with ABS stamps on this month’s SFYTT {go to this post on Jen's blog for details on how to win this prize, as well as for how to play along this and every month}. Go check out her images - you know you want to! It sure beats digging out the driveway!
Stay warm and safe, and have a wonderful weekend, friends. :)
Wow, this is so CUTE! Love the stamps, all the glitter, and love the color combo...Fab! <3

Thanks for the full frontal - such a great shot for a super fun card. Sounds as though you are hopping over some serious snow this rabbit year. It will melt and things will still be boinging for you no doubt. Glad all is well, humor intact. Check. See ya next month :)
