Saturday Sketch Challenge 232

Good Evening Friends!

It's time for another clean and simple sketch challenge from your 411 operators. Where the holidays are upon us, isn't it wonderful to have a simple sketch in front of you for those last minute holiday cards?

So how about some potential measurements for this sketch? For more information about each of the sample cards below, just click the link below the 411 operator card and you'll be transported to their blogs.

Base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded in half at 4 1/4"
Layer 2: 4 1/4" x 3 1/4"
Layer 4: 4 x 3"

Add embellishments or sentiments to your taste (and in keeping with the sketch) and please have fun!

Let's see what the operators came up with for this sketch:



Are you ready to play along? We sure hope so! Never played with us before?? Well, it's easy! Sky's the limit!
  1. Make a card using your Stampin' Up Supplies!
  2. Post it online somewhere to your blog or other online forum
  3. Post a link to the free linky tool below (please point the link to your post and NOT just your blog).
  4. Have some fun and leave comments for each other (and for the operators if you like their work). ~ Everyone loves comments!
  5. Please note, we reserve the right to remove links with non-Stampin' Up! product, "sales pitches", links to online stores, or requests to join your team. We're here to have fun, learn from one another and share.
We hope you join us this week and play along with this sketch! But don't delay our links will close at 8AM on Thursday morning Eastern Standard Time.

Rubbah hugs,
Selene Kempton

Color Inspiration Challenge #165

Happy December! It's hard to believe that we are in the final month of the year. Where does time go?

On the first Thursday of every month, it's my pleasure to present you with a new color challenge.

This month I am going to give you a Valentine's Day-inspired color combo. I know what you're thinking! Valentine's Day? The papercrafting world always works months ahead of the actual holiday. Strange but true!

For this month's combo I used a color that I am totally in love with. It's called Poppy Parade. It's such a fun color! When paired with Pink Pirouette and Basic Black, it just makes a project "pop".

I hope you'll give this color combination a try. If you do make a project, please use the Linky Tool below to link your project's web address to this blog post. This way we can ooohh and ahhhh over it too!
