Sketchy Saturday!

It has been SO long since I've done a Sketchy Saturday, I can't even remember when it was myself! I'm wondering just exactly where the first half of 2010 has disappeared to! Anyway, so I'm declaring today a Sketchy Saturday! I've decided to use this great sketch by Carol Dunstan for our team blog, Elite Challenges. Such a great sketch! All you need to do to play along is create a card following Carol's sketch, then upload it to your blog or favourite online gallery. Grab the link to your card and post it in a comment on this post here on my blog. Easy! Do all this before midnight on Monday, 14th June (thank goodness for the long weekend -an extra day to create!) and then on Tuesday I'll randomly select a winner to receive a prize from me. I can't wait to see all of your creations!

For my card, I decided to break out my gorgeous Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper -one of the packs that is on special this week. At first glance, this paper pack is a little glare-y (is that a word?), but when you start creating with it, wow, it's just stunning!  

If you would like to order any of the supplies used to create this card, please email me or phone me on 0402 120 972. And don't forget, to receive the special price for the Pink Flamingo paper, you'll need to get your order to me by Tuesday 15th June! 

New Feature - Sketchy Saturday!

Welcome to the weekend, everyone! And, of course, Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm introducing a new feature today. Sketchy Saturday! The plan is that I will upload a Sketch (on Saturdays) that I have created and a sample card I've made using that sketch. Then you create your own card from my sketch and upload a link directly to that card. I can't promise that there will be a sketch every Saturday, but hopefully I'll manage to keep them coming fairly regularly! I'll also prepare a sketch gallery where I'll upload all of my sketches, so you can access them all in one place anytime you need them.

Now, first there's some fineprint. I've created this sketch, spent the time to plan it, put it together and all of that. Please do not steal it! You're free to use it to create your own original works, submit them for publication, do what you like with them, but PLEASE do not steal my image to use as your own. It's watermarked anyway, so everyone will know you stole it! Thanks!

So, without further ado, here is today's sketch!

I really like how this sketch came together. These digital papers and elements by Cherie Mask for 2peas are just gorgeous! They're one of the free digital kits that 2peas offer. This kit is called "All Twitterpated" -how cute is that? You can view the 2peas digital range here. You may need to register with them to access their free kits, but it's free to register and well worth the effort!

And now for my card using this sketch. A friend in the US sent me a birthday surprise of images from the US Stampin' Up! set called "Love You Much", with some samples of matching papers. I was so excited to get this parcel! I wasn't expecting it at all, which just added to my excitement all the more! Here is the first card I've created with these yummy goodies:    

I won't post all of the supplies here because we can't buy them here! Other than the too-cute bucklet I've used from the Stylish Silver Hodgepodge set! How adorable! There just is not enough of those bucklets in the set!

So, once you've created your card using my sketch, post it on your blog or fave online gallery then pop back here with a direct link to your image or blog post. Please don't link to your blog's main page. No one likes having to scroll through post after post trying to find your card. I reserve the right to delete links that are not posted correctly.

Have fun! I can't wait to see your creations!
