Welcome to Get Sketchy #11!!Our awesome sponsor this week:
That's Jazzy Stamp Dreams!!!
This week's prize:
a stamp set!!
The Bonus Challenge:
use Buttons
{I'm usually such a button gal but this design with the busy paper wasn't calling out for buttons to me}
The Design Team had the opportunity to play with the Jolly Pumpkin stamp. I decided to ink up everything but his face so that I could make my card a Thanksgiving card! Can I just say that the pumpkin stamp inks up beautifully.....seriously....the image came out crisp and clean the very first time!!! I find that some polymer stamps don't get a good clear image and I end up rubbing my hands on it and even my jeans...it helps but That's Jazzy Stamp Dreams stamps you don't need to do that...fabulous....
Here are the deets on my card...I paper pieced the pumpkin with some crate paper {it really is orange, the color is washed out in the photo}...the other patterned paper is October Afternoon {along with the alpha...thanks Beth!!!}. The 4U are vinyl thickers...throw in a bunch of stitching and there you have it!
I'm sooo looking forward to seeing how you are inspired by the sketch!!!
Yuppers...my first CK Convention...actually, I'm not even taking any classes...I'm going for the vendor faire...shopping...did someone say shopping?
Check it out...guess who is going to be my shopping buddy??
I get to meet Ginny AND shop with her...now how stinkin' fun is that?!!!!
My non-blogging friends don't 'get it'...meeting up with blogging friends...but you all get it...there is something so coolio about meeting up with someone else that:
1. blogs
2. creates
3. understands the insanity of blogging and creating...LOL
Ginny....I chuckled when I read Paulina's comment about the convention:
Remember, you don't need to buy everything at the convention, Ginny. hehe
Oh Ginny...we are going to get along just fabulously my friend :)
On a non-crafty side note {I've been doing these alot lately}, I managed to get through the entire Season 5 of Grey's earlier this week and have jumped onto Hulu to catch up on Season 6...'d' is always chuckling at me when I'm watching the shows...I go from laughing to gasping to all out sobbing....it's wonderfully therapeutic..LOL.
Well girlies, thanks so much for reading my novella....I betcha you all are wishing that I go back to blogging 7 days a week just so that my posts are shorter..LOL

I hear the shopping's the best at CK conventions! Happy shopping!
have a nice weekend!
Your card is so CUTE!
And I'm with you on the two different buckets of friends. Only one person in my real world even knows that I have a blog... Definitely a papercrafting thing, I suppose.:)
Oh I wish I was going to CK... one year maybe!
Have a great time with your friend!
Hugs,
Vanessa
and CK in Seattle!!! WOAH! I am so excited for you. sounds absolutely fabulous. and of course the only reason I would go is for the the shopping too!
what a great holiday season you are going to have!
Super cute card!
Have fun at your shopping-trip!! :)

Anywhoo!! enjoy the CK convention. Oh i wish i could go and shop with you guys!! I love shopping!!!!!
Love the card, the crossword pzzle paper is great! :)
Glad I was able to make you laugh.When you go to the convention, be sure to wear comfortable shoes, bring a camera and prepare to be overwhelmed! :)
and yep, my mom did NOT understand why I was going so insane when we went to the SISTV convention last April. I was like, "I am going to meet her and her and see this person and I have been blog stalking her..and blah blah"..she just didn't get it at all! hahah
Have a great weekend! I am jealous of your CK shopping! lol
CKU is here this weekend I am not attending but a few of my friends are going and even doing a little work at it to get some extra dollars to spend in the CK store.
CK Seattle?!! I'm SO jealous!! I've never been to a CK Convention but I'm SURE you're going to have the best time ever!! I totally get it about being excited to meet AND shop with your blogging buddies!! As you know, Ingrid is in town and I had a ball shopping with her yesterday!!
BTW, I've been watching full seasons of Mad Men. It's such an interesting series!!! Have the best weekend in the world, my dear!!! ♥♥ Kay
it's gonna be great. the shopping is amazing. and seriously--it is THE BEST thing to have a friend who does the blog/ creating AND you hang out with (that would be Paulina for me)... makes my life so much more connected. thankfully my sister blogs too, so we share a bond that no one else quite understands. reminds me of "Julie and Julia," she had some REALLY true statements/ comments regarding blogs.
btw, i LOVE this orangey card--soooooo pretty!
