Howdy all! I hope you’ve had a FANTASTIC week so far! I am off on vacation today, actually we are mostly likely up getting packed and ready to board our plane home by the time you read this. Because it’s vacation week for me we are having a VERY special Deconstructed Sketch Blog Hop! And you know what a blog hop means… that’s right PRIZES!! For this blog hop there will be TWO prizes, one for one very lucky commenter and one for one very lucky randomly drawn participant in the sketch challenge.
So what do you need to do? First, hop around to all the design team blogs and leave a comment. The list is below so you can hop in your own order. Very easy! Second, take a look at the sketch and make a project using the sketch as creative inspiration, post it online (blog or gallery) and link it back to the InLinkz at the bottom of this post. Again, very easy!! On June 27th, 2011 I will announce the winner of the comment prize on here on my blog. The winner of the sketch participation prize will be announced on June 30th along with the next sketch. Project need to be added to InLinkz below by 8 pm CST on June 29, 2011.
PRIZES!
Now what are the prizes? Well I dug around in my stash and found quite a few un-used, still in their original packaging goodies that are FABULOUS that I just haven’t had any time to use with my design team duties and work so that means I’m going to pass them on to you! I’ve also grabbed two BRAND new and GORGEOUS paper pads from my very favorite line of paper to share with the winners! So who gets what?
The comment winner will receive the Unity Stamp Co. April 2011 Kit of the Month: small things MATTER MOST, the November 2010 Kit of the Month: Picture Perfect and My Mind’s Eye’s Lime Twist Out of the Blue 6×6 paper pad. Not too shabby, eh?
The sketch participant winner will receive the Unity Stamp Co. February 2011 Kit of the Month: The Best Is Yet To Be, the March 2011 Kit of the Month: Just You and My Mind’s Eye Lime Twist Life of the Party 6×6 paper pad.
This Week’s Sketch
There is, as always, no particular image requirement. Just use the sketch to jump start your creativity!
My Sample
This week I stayed pretty faithful to the sketch… it worked GREAT for my image so there wasn’t much I wanted to maneuver.
I used an adorable image from All That Scraps Sugarplum Lil’ Bug Emma. I just adore this stamp… she’s so sweet. I colored her with Prismacolors and OMS and used Echo Parks Dots and Stripes designer paper to go with her. I cut the image out with a Nestablities rectangle die as well as the sentiment with a Nesties circle die. Everything is sponged with Distress Ink Wild Honey Ink and outlined by hand with a multiliner. I added a bit of baker twine to finish it up. Here’s a closer look at sweet little Emma:
Blog Hop Order

Adorable! Fabulous colouring.
I really like your card! The colouring is beatutiful! Now I’ve hoped to all bloggs except for LORi’s, since she haven’t published a blog hop post on her blog yet. I’ll stop by her blog later to see if it’s up then. It has been a very nice blog hop and it’s amazing how different your cards are, even though you have used the same sketch.

Love your card, and amazing coloring!!
Gorgeous Jen. This little image and her Budha belly are adorably coloured and I love the shading around the frame edge. I can’t believe how well you doodle your edges, I’m jealous, in a good way of course.
Thanks for the chance to win such great prizes. Hope you get lots of responses, the layout is excellent.

Ooo, what fun goodies! That couch stamp just makes me happy, haha. I can’t wait to hop around! I started off as a stamper and then I got into the Cricut a few months ago. Now I’m a huge fan of digi stamps too! I’m still a newbie at all of it, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE inspiration. It gets me excited to try something even though it’s still a little scary! The sketches are great to use though. I’m looking forward to trying your sketch because I don’t really have bows! It’ll be a challenge for me! Thanks for the opportunity!
Wow! Your coloring is fantastic! And the sketch is adorable. Thanks for the chance to win some goodies!
