Before Tessa was chosen to be a part of the Sketchy Thursdays Design Team, I had "suckered" her into sponsoring a weekly challenge. Little did I know that by the time we posted this sponsorship she would be such an important part of the Sketchy Thursdays family.
Let's get to know a bit more about Tessa and her business, Precocious Paper.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Hi, I'm Tessa, and I'm from Riverton, Wyoming, although I just moved here from Sacramento, California. I love to scrapbook layouts, paper bag albums and other minis. I love that I am able to chronicle my personal and family history, as well as have a creative and artistic outlet.I started dabbling in high school, then got pretty serious about scrapbooking when I got married and started a family. I've been especially involved in scrapbooking the last couple of years as I have started my Etsy shop and become active in online scrapbooking communities.
Right now, I love the handmade trend, whether it's embellishments that look handmade or are truly handmade. Love, love, love it!

Thanks, Tessa! (Check out her blog here.) Take a look at some of these yummy items from her store. And, I can tell you that after I received her prize package in the mail to send to a lucky Sketchy Thursdays player, I almost threw in the towel, closed up the challenge site and ran away with the prizes. They are that good!
How do you win? Well, here's a great twist for the players who have been with us from the beginning. You know that one person who plays along with this week's sketch will win on a random draw tomorrow.
What you don't know is that Tessa sent enough goodies for another person to win! So.... play to win or comment below for a second chance. Let us know which item from Precocious Paper is on your wish list and what you plan to create with her items.
YEAH!!!! (I love surprising you all!) Thanks, Tessa!

I love the black fabric and felt flowers. I still need to work on my sons wedding album and their colors were red, black and white so these flowers would be perfect.

I like the tags on a ring a lot -- it's hard to tell how big they are, but you could make a teeny, tiny mini book out of them. I also really like the little frames and tags. Oooh, Heidi Grace purple daisies: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27655044
The Precocious Posies would be PeRfEcT for everything I create!!!! I know you said name to name one thing but honestly her entire shop is on my wish list!!

That prize package looks awesome! I really like the Hot Pink Zebra Felt Flowers listed on her site! They would make a great addition to some Sweet 16 pages I have to create!
The Woodland Creatures notecards are just too cute. I have been looking at that paper in the stores and think it is just adorable.

Tessa, your shop got lots and lots of cute stuff!! Love the gorgeous flowers! Great color combos on each set! I will definitely put them on my pages.
I love Tess's lace and felt flowers. All her embellishments look quite professional, but have an extra touch that the mass produced stuff doesn't.

i love it all.
pic one?! are you serious?! i like everything i see there... what eye candy! :)

I love the flowers. They are perfect for so many different LOs. But as soon as you pick one you see something else that you just couldn't live without. Scrapbooking certainly isn't for minimalists.
I love the Halloween, my favorite holiday, and also the cardboard flowers, I love to reuse garbage, as my husband would say.
Love the cardboard dyed flowers, they would be perfect for my fall, pumpkin, Halloween pages!
Loved reading about Tessa today and I loved checking out her blog and store! Thanks for the chance to win!
there's so many things in her shop! I love all the flowers, be it felt or cardboard...all with such details and dimension....
The scrapbooks are really really nice, specially the school one .. so cute! :)
