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
