new SKETCH CHALLENGE at Design Dollies and DT CALL!

woot! the triple threat trifecta ingredients are complete, and our new SKETCH CHALLENGE is up! our amazingly, ridiculous, brilliantly artistic Kristy-Dollie has given us yet another fab sketch to play with, and we want to see what you can do with this:

and in case you'd forgotten, here's the prize:



mmm, flourish stamps, vintage ephemera, journalling tags, puffy stickers, primas, YUM!

i've been busying up the majority of my recent projects, so i went for a slightly more CAS approach this time around... here's my interpretation of the sketch, flipped on its side:

SO. what can you do with this sketch? do you want to combine it with our Colour Challenge and/or our Elements Challenge this week, for a shot at all three prize packs? IF you go that route, make sure we get your entries via Mr. Linky by this SUNDAY at midnight, EST. if you just want to do this awesome sketch challenge, you have until next WEDNESDAY at midnight EST.

don't forget, we also have a Design Team Call for aspiring Dollies! all the information is there, so check it out - we can't wait to hear from you!


whew. now that the business stuff is out of the way...



covers a few of the challenges for this week... first, i keep going back to Hope Stamps Eternal, for their cupcake challenges... i love the photos Rach posts, and can almost always invent something in my head as soon as i see them!
second, some fall yumminess at Paper Cutz - they have some cute inspiration!
and we have a theme of "thank you", or some form thereof, for the following blogs:
Paper Blooms
La-La Land
and Stamp Something

this is not my usual style, but a friend had picked up this package of invitations from Home Goods, and sent me some of the actual cards and envelopes, so i had to have a little play, as it's ORANGE, and it was PERFECT for that cute little flourish. and the ball trim - i am SUCH a sucker for ball trim, i couldn't resist. i will be very sad when i run out of these two little rolls i got from AC Moore, so i am using it sparingly. :)
