Humble Pie SKETCH challenge, and a winner!

WOOT! another friday is here! that means so many happy things... one, i have a gig tonight (and it's gonna be a good one, as it's Friday the 13th!). two, the work week is coming to a close (and i've had headache upon headache this week). three, it's HUMBLE PIE CHALLENGE DAY!

last week's circle challenge has wrapped up, but you'll have to stop by to see who won the $10 in Humble Pie bucks! :)

today, we have a SKETCH challenge for you... it was a fun one, and i'm the only Baker who opted for something other than a christmas card! i guess i was just preparing myself mentally for the mountain of christmas cards i know i'll be making in the next few weeks (you'll see when you get to the bottom of my post!).

here's our fabby sketch, designed by the very creative and talented Kim:








and here's my Umbrella Ellie card (i LOVE this image - she's one of the Sweetie Pies, only available at The Town Scrapper!):

i have been loving the chipboard lately, have you noticed?

anyway, play along before next THURSDAY, November 19th at midnight EST, for a chance to win $10 in Humble Pie Bucks, to be spent on your favourite Sweetie Pie stamps! :)


now for the photo-heavy part of my post... 'cuz yeesh, i've been busy. my sweet and crafty gal-pal, Bree, had posted a while back that she wanted to get some holiday cards together to send to the troops... well, i think it's safe to say that i will PROBABLY have to replenish my christmas papers before next year, because i may just run out! (don't worry, this is a good thing, as i hardly put a dent in this stash last christmas)

so, here are a few things she'll be getting in her mailbox:













this is just the haul i've made in the last two days... i'm also sending the ones i made at the bottom of this post - for a total of 11, i think. i hope that gets her closer to her goal of 100!

have you been to Design Dollies lately? we have BIG NEWS (that could be of interest to you!)... plus the challenges are up for the week, so if you're looking to combine all three, you have until this sunday at midnight to get 'em in! :)

have a great weekend, folks! i hope to be around to play along with some challenges, but it's likely that i will just be back monday with lots of stuff to share. ciao!
