Saturday Sketch Challenge 152 ~ Happy Anniversary and BIG LOOT BLOG CANDY

You may have noticed some special preparations for this week's post, like the most awesome blog candy EVER!!!... and the funky fresh "hack" drawing by yours truly. We've seen some AMAZING talent over the past year and thought for just one week, we should make everyone honorary stamping 411 operators. For those of you that play and DON'T post, we love to hear your awesome stories that a simple sketch could brew such creativity in you. For that.. we thank you.

Every week we offer a sketch challenge for your inspiration and encourage you to change up the sketch as needed.

This week simple sketch is just like every other one ~ but this one has a bit of a twist.... All the operators, have been "assigned" a card that is not their own to post to their blogs. :)

So it's time to see if you can spot your operator's work!

We've got a TON of blog candy for a BUNCH of lucky players... Here's how to enter.. (it's as easy as 1,2,3) (I couldn't resist)

1. make a card and post it through our NEW linky tool.
2. Guess which operator made cards 1-8 and leave a comment.
3. Or do both and you'll be entered into winning blog candy, which will be announced sometime next Friday!

Either one of these things will enter you to win a prize! So.. Here are the mystery cards.. To keep it simple, I'm going to link the cards to the person who's posting them! :) So fun...

Some inside information ~ There's been a flurry of chatter among the operators today, about who's card they ***think*** they have. I'm happy because I'm the only one that actually knows! I hosted a mini swap of sorts. I have all the operator cards here, and took the photos today. My 5 year old daughter, put the creations back into the pre addressed envelopes going out.. so in a few days they will have one clue about who's card is who's.

So ~ none of the operators know who's card is who's and they'll all be guessing on their posts and showing someone else's card! This should be fun.

One hint ~ I can tell you that no one posted their own card this week. :) Maybe that will help! I bet the operators will have as much fun as you! :)

Thanks to Gretchen for sending me this list of potential measurements for this week's sketch, after all, it's date night!

2. Layer Two -- cut at 3 x 4.5"

Now it's your turn, we have a new linky tool. Our old Mr. Linky was a little wonky, and he's retired for greener pastures.

To link to your blog, with a thumbnail, look for the red phrase below that says "Click here to enter". That's the new linky tool, if you have trouble, pop us an email at operators@e-selene.com.

Please try and remember to link to your specific blog entry and just to your blog address. It's fun to use and we hope you'll try it out! I love seeing my creations as a thumbnail, and it even will allow you to crop it down.

If you're linking to SCS, try adding your thumbnail from "file" on your computer, rather than SCS. Remember that links close early Thursday morning!

Don't forget to make your guess on who made what card.. you could win some of the big loot of blog candy we've got going on! Check out that side bar!
