SDC29:Sketch- Group4

Any of you that follow my blog know what a love I have for sketches.  I use them frequently and when I don't, they are usually a starting point that I get carried away with.  So, when it was my turn to hostess, how could I not present with a sketch challenge?

This week, I give you a sketch.  This challenge is a STAMPOTIQUE only stamps week, so we encourage you to break out your Stampotique stamps and join our creative design team for your chance to add to your stamp collection with a prize of $30 gift certificate for stamps at Stampotique.  We will randomly pick a winner with the announcement of the next challenge.

Here is group 4's interpretation of the sketch:

We had a wonderful turnout for Jo's challenge to use newsprint or old book pages, this is what Jo had to say about the challenge and having to pick her top 3 favorites:

" What a challenge! So many entries! Thank you so much to everyone who took part and created such wonderful ideas. Some made me laugh out loud at the humour, others intrigued me and I love it when I open a blog and it makes me say 'I wish I'd thought of that!

My top three show three very different ways of incorporating book pages and newsprint in your work.

4. Sue the Iron....

A stunning effect using the whole book

8. Julie in Edmonds.

I loved the simplicity of this - it works so well. (Apologies for not leaving a comment as I'm not a member of Splitcoast)

But before we do, here are Vicki's Favourites from the Tryptich Card Challenge

The first thing that caught my eye when looking at Sue's
fun and fabulous card was the little piece of chain on the front......if you all know me, then you will know, that like a fish, I am very attracted to metal.....particularly silver! That, coupled with one of my favourite stamps stamped onto that delicious Designer Paper, well it was love at first sight!

Did I mention that I am crazy about this background as well........ I am pleading with those of you that create these most delectable backgrounds, invite me over for a stamping day!!! lol~

What I loved about Kati's Card is the simplistic beauty of this neutral card.........There is so much going on here, that my eye's want to travel over this card again and again to scan the various points of interest.

Jayne's Card brought an immediate smile to my face......... I LOVE cards that make me emote!!!

Again, she has the Welcome stamp that I'm crazy about and that "to die for" background....I love the muted tones in this card with the pizzaz of the occasional splash of bold colour!!! Yummy~
Ladies, please email Kim Howard if you would like a fave's badge to display on your blog!
