Sketch Saturday - Sketch #404

Good Morning Saturday Sketchers,

Lesley is the designer of this week's fun and fabulous sketch.  It's a great one to work with. Bunny Zoe Crafts is sponsoring this week's prize.  Sadly, Bunny Zoe has made the hard decision to close up shop soon and offering 30% or more off everything in the store.  This would be a good time to take a look at everything they have to offer, especially to folks in the UK and Ireland.  Bunny Zoe has been a longtime sponsor of Sketch Saturday and we will miss them.
Take a look at the DT samples here and play along with us this week.I trust that may folks share my paper-hoarding affliction.  I have a stack of uncut 12x12 paper six inches thick and then there's my growing pile of 6x6 pads!! The theme at Clear It Out this week is using patterned paper over a year old, so I actually cut into a 12x12 sheet!!  I dare you to play along with their challenge too!  My paper was so happy to actually be used!

Challenges Entered:
Let's Color Linky Party #5/
Clear It Out/ - Patterned Paper over a year old
Craft Your Passion #303/ - AG
Little Miss Muffet #133/ - AG
Southern Girls/ - Nature

Here's some DT inspiration for you. Hope you will come join our challenge this week!

Robyn's Fetish is sponsoring this week's Sketch Saturday challenge.  I'm using Spring Cart.  I colored in a little wood-look on the wheelbarrow to give it some extra dimension.  The picture doesn't show it, but I used Wink of Stella to give some shimmer to the flowers.  I hope you'll join us for this week's Sketch Saturday challenge.

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #393

Welcome to our first sketch challenge for 2016, Sketch Saturday fans!  Our DT Call was a fabulous success!  We had so many wonderful folks to choose from that Sketch Saturday has more than doubled our DT.  We're excited for you to get to know all of our new folks over the coming weeks.

Sami Stamps is sponsoring this week.  My card uses Winter Cocoa. Alex's sketch inspired me to make a tryptic with the image.  It was fun to figure out where to make the cuts.  I paper pieced the coat, doodled the inside black lines, shaded with my Copics and added some Wink of Stella for sparkle.

Taylor Expressions' cable knit embossing folder created a great background panel.  A couple of snowflakes and a sentiment from my stash found their way onto this card. Love it when that happens!

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #391

Simon Says Stamp is the sponsor for our Sketch Saturday challenge this week.  That $25.00 prize could have your name on it, but you have to play to win!!

My card uses one of Stacy Yacula's adorable snowmen from Purple Onions Designs. Who can resist this face?  He makes me feel happy just looking at him! I paper-pieced the scarf, twigs, and nose.  I had scraps of glitter paper on my desk from snowflake die cuts and decided to add them to the bottom of the snowman.

Time making cards is the perfect way for me to relax and centered myself during this busy time of the year.  I'll be in there lots this weekend between visits from the grandkids and wrapping presents.

Check out the DT's cards here.  Hope we inspire you to play along with Deb's sketch!

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #388

We're back with a new sketch for you at Sketch Saturday.  This one was perfect for the leaf I embossed on watercolor paper (a year ago) and added the embossed sentiment to for a sympathy card.  I colored the leaf with a variety of old SU! markers and watercolor brush.  I decided to keep the card CAS, so back in the scrap drawer, I noticed a discarded embossed card back, and used the debossed side of embossing folder in the background.

Stop by the SS Blog to check out the DT inspiration and play along for a chance to win this week's prize from sponsor, Bunny Zoe Crafts.

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #386

Bugaboo Stamps is our sponsor this week.  I decided to use their image, Glass of Wine A Day as a birthday card for a wine-lover I know.  I wanted to keep the glass big, so I made Debra's sketch into a long card, created a computer generated saying, and popped the glass out with Stampin' Dimensionals.   My friend likes to wear sparkles and bracelets, so I created a bracelet from some small rhinestones and used a gold Gel pen on her shirt and some of the flowers in the background paper.

Stop by the Sketch Saturday blog to see the fun ideas the DT has for you this week!

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #385

It's the fifth Saturday of October, so that means your choice for a sketch to use!  Take a peek at the sketches from #215-375 and choose one for your card. I love these weeks - it's such a treat to go back and look through the old sketches.  There are some goodies!

Sami Stamps is our sponsor and the winner will receive a credit for $12 in her shop.  I've used her image called A Bundle of Dreams and combined it with Sketch #276 (from 2013).  The oval was the perfect shape for this image.  One would never know I'm not a purple gal by looking at my past few posts!  I've enjoyed playing around with combining my Copic BVs and Vs lately to given some color variation and kept it going for this baby card.

Play along with us this week.  Here's what the Sketch Saturday DT colored up for you to get you started!

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #382

Alex is our sketch designer this week.  I pulled out an old stamp set from PTI, called Autumn Hills for my card.  I stamped on Soft Stone and used my colorless blender to add pattern to the hills I colored.
Our DT had a variety of takes on her idea, so pop over to the Sketch Saturday Blog and see what the gals have for you.  It's a Simon Says Stamp! sponsor week - and the generous prize is a $25 credit to use at their shop!  I hope to see your work in the gallery!

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #381

It's starting to feel like autumn here in Minnesota - cool nights that need a blanket to be cozy and crisp, warmish days, but you have to find the sun to stand in!  The weekend is shaping up to be perfect fall weather!  I love these days.

I hope your Saturday finds you well and ready for a new sketch from your friends at Sketch Saturday.  Milk Coffee is this week's sponsor and their prize is a choice of 5 digis from their Etsy shop.  My card features Swirly Bird, which is a great digi for many occasions.  I hope you have the chance to play along with us this week.  Take a peek at what the DT gals have for you here.

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #380

Happy Saturday, Sketchers!
Debra has a fun sketch for you to play with this week.  The challenge prize is 7 digis from our wonderful sponsor, Bugaboo Stamps.

I've used Bugaboo's, Sock Monkey-Birthday for my card.  Originally, I had every intention of using this image for a birthday card, but a colleague recently had a baby girl and I decided this little monkey would be an adorable card for her.  They aren't using traditional colors in their nursery and have decorated it with lots of oranges and yellows.  I love figuring out ways to use images in new ways!

Take a peek at our DT cards and then play along with us!  Can't wait to see your card in the gallery!
