Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 161 + Casting Call!

Hi friends!  The Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge is looking for a few more designers to join our team and we'd love for it to be you!  I'm sending you an invitation to join in on the SSSC Casting Call.  Here are the requirements:

I do hope you will join in on the fun.  I can't wait to see all the creativity you bring this week!  I will also be choosing a Guest Stamper for the next sketch as well - here are the details for that challenge:


It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Here is the deal: make a card with this layout and use the InLinkz button down at the very end of this post to enter your card. The links will close in two weeks, next Friday at 10 PM (Mountain Time). Be sure to link directly to the blog post or gallery image which features 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 SSSC161 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

WANT TO BE A GUEST Sweet Sunday Stamper?  I'll be picking my favorite card or project after each challenge and that winner will have a special guest spot as a designer on a future Sweet Sunday Challenge.  I'm SO excited about this!  You can enter as many different cards as you'd like before the following Friday deadline, so get stampy!

I will be announcing the next Guest Sweet Sunday Stamper later this week, so be sure to check back to see if you will be joining the design team for SSSC162!

I picked up this fun à la modes Lightbulb Moment stamp set for my card today, which has been uninked - that is a SHAME! 



I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then Colored her with Copic Markers.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do with her, so I cut her out and I'm glad I did because I'm totally digging that Star STAX Die-namics behind her.  That was a happy accident - I was looking for another die and couldn't find it, so I used the star instead.  Way cute!  But now I must get my dies organized because not finding what I need is driving me nuts!

I added another star on the inside of the card and stamped the Thank You from Pure Innocence All Occasion Sentiments, then overlapped it with a Square STAX Set 1 Die-namics for a personal note.


All of the fabulous Sweet Sunday Stampers have inspiration for you, so please stop on by and say hello:
