Good morning - It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Here is the deal: make a card with this layout and use Mr. Linky down at the end of my post to enter your card. On Thursday at 2 PM (Mountain Time), I'll randomly select one card to feature on my blog. So, as long as your card is linked in the Mr. Linky box by 2 PM Thursday, your card will be in the drawing. Be sure to link directly to the blog post or gallery image which featu
res your card. You may post a picture of the sketch on your blog, but please save the image to your computer first. Use the keyword SSSC11 if you plan to post your card at SplitcoastStampers or another online gallery.Are you ready for your bonus?! So many big things to celebrate here - my blog is over 100K hits AND... I am SO excited to tell you one of my cards is published in the March issue of Cards - can you see me jumping around the room in utter elation?! This is the card they published (although the colors in their photo of it are WAY off, but what are
ya gonna do?), you can find it on page 143 - tee hee! Anyway... to celebrate I'm giving away some goodies for one random participant in this sketch challenge. All you need to do to qualify for the drawing is make a card with this week's sketch and post it to Mr. Linky and on Thursday at 2 PM I'll use Random.org to choose a winner. Sound YUMM-O? The lucky winner will receive the March issue of Cards, 2 Sale-A-Bration stamp sets (Congrats & Polka dot Punches), and an assortment of yummolicious embellishments - 3 library clips, 3 Kiwi Kiss corduroy buttons, 3 Pacific Point corduroy buttons, 4 flower brads, and 7 5/16" brads. Anyone can play - so get your game face on and get crackin'! The card I made measures 6-1/2" x 3-1/4" if you would like the dimensions and try to make one that size if you can - it's part of the challenge of it all *grin*.OK, off you go! Have a great day and good luck!

ReplyDeleteOh, I saw your card in my March issue and said,"Hey! I 'know' her!!" It's a great sketch and my first time making a card this size. Notice how I'm stuck on the colours from Dawn (I submitted a different card for her). TFI - thanks for inspiring. If I win the magazine, I'm going to pass it on to my good stamping friend :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the great sketch! I had fun making my card. I hope you enjoy!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting published Karen! That has to be super exciting and so well deserved. You are a great talent.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your sketch this week. I'm participating for the first time. I've been following for a while now. I guess the candy was a little bit of incentive! Sometimes we need that little extra nudge! I hope to see you each week from now on!
