It's a Sketchy Challenge and Winner Announced!!

I'm so very excited about this! And if you've been following my blog you'll know why. I just LOVE sketches and have started sharing my own with you. On the 15th of each month I will be posting a new sketch. So that means the next sketch will be posted Sept. 15th.

I would love for you to pop by and check it out. I'm not going to make any challenges from them (although I might just for fun ... once in while ... and add some product incentive!! ;))

Now I'm thrilled to announce that Canadian Scrapbooker is starting a new challenge of their own called "It's a Sketchy Challenge"!!

At the beginning of each month they will post a new sketch. The challenge is to create a layout using that sketch and at least 1 Canadian manufacturer on your design. By doing so and posting a your layout on the site you have a chance at getting PUBLISHED in the Canadian Scrapbooker magazine!!! How cool is that??

Another great thing is that anyone can take part in this challenge whether you're from Canada, Australia or China!! Anyone!

If you decide to not use a Canadian product on your layout that's ok. Your layout will still get posted on the Sketchy Gallery.

Here's some ideas for Canadian companies to choose from:

Crafty Secrets

Harmonie

KiKi Art

Magenta

MyStamp Box

Frog's Whiskers Ink

Kraftin Kimmie

Local King Rubber Stamps

Upsy Daisy Designs

Now I believe I promised that I would announce a WINNER today from my little Giveaway the other day.

So are you ready to win???

Ok, the lucky winner is ...

Sketches

I love creating my layouts based on sketches. I've had a sketch book ever since I started scrapbooking and have accumulated quite a few of them now.

I have to jot down my ideas and a rough sketch of my layout before I can even start creating a page. So I decided that I would start sharing some of my layouts in sketch form with you. I only have two posted right now but I'll have more soon. So please check back often.

I've created a new tab at the top of my blog (called Sketches) so please feel free to use these for inspiration. (I've worked hard on these layouts & sketches so please make sure to mention where you got the inspiration & ideas from. So please don't copy and claim as your own. )

Here's sketch #1 to get you started.

Here's my layout that I created from my sketch.

Supplies used: Imaginisce (patterned papers, die-cut, glam rocks), My LIttle Shoebox (alpha stickers), Core'dinations cardstock, Ek Success (border punch)

If you do happen to use my sketches I would love for you to link back to these posts (as I will post every time I have a new sketch.) Or you can always email you work because I would love to see it!!

Thanks for stopping by!
