Unscripted Sketches #37 and a Candy Winner…

Unscripted Sketches is back!!!!!!! This is our first sketch for 2010. We really would LOVE to see what you come up with this week. I will admit, of all my DT work for Unscripted, this is my least favorite project. I am not happy with it at all…but I was all outta mojo at the time. I had made an altered box at first but I liked that even less. Oh well you win some you lose some :0)

My papers are CTMH That’s Amore, Crocheted ribbon CTMH, Ink Tulip CTMH, the bling is from my stash and the heart stamp I picked up at Hobby Lobby. I think I should have left off the bling….so much for hindsight.

On to my candy winner…..I had 39 comments and the True Random Number Generator came up with 21 …I tried and tried to save this image to my blog but I couldn’t get it to work. So trust me on this one…!

Comment 21 and winner of a Tickled Pink Kit and a bag of Hershey’s white chocolate bliss candy is…….

Unscripted Sketches Blog Hop…..and Candy…

Happy New Year from The Unscripted Sketches Team!!!!

ETA....There will also be a bag of Hershey's Bliss White Chocolate included in my blog 'candy' at the request of my dear friend Cibele!!

Please forgive the goofball picture and before I forget HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Wow a new decade!

2009 has been a rollercoaster of a year for me..so many things happening, here are some in no particular order…

I started Homeschooling all my kids, I became a Christian, I started reading the Bible, I started going to Church, I became an assistant Girl Scout Leader, my husband got laid off, the economy tanked, I learned the power of prayer, my husband got a new (better) job, I discovered blogs, I started blogging, I started entering blog challenges, I became a DT member for Unscripted, I met some amazing online friends, I discovered that mojo is a little difficult to find sometimes, I discovered Facebook, I discovered Facebook games, I discovered that Facebook is like a black hole for sucking time right out of your life, I discovered the Twilight Series, I discovered I was in love with a fictional Vampire, I relearned how to calculate the area of a circle, I got a new car, I gained (more) weight, I discovered that Hershey’s Bliss White chocolate squares with the soft center are THE BEST candy ever, and I learned that my husband and kids are the best and I love them dearly….Well really I knew that already :0)

My plans for 2010 are to pay more attention to my family, to spend quality time with them, to grow as a Christian and to take time for me.

Amy’s Challenge Cards…and a Winner.

I hope you guys don’t mind me posting your cards with links to your blogs…but the cards were so awesome. Here are the contenders in no particular order…. (if anyone minds, let me know and I will pull the picture)

By Sparkle (What a cute image)

By Kara (too cute!)

and Kathi (Love it!)

So I showed these AWESOME creations to AMY and asked her to pick her favorite. (No prompting from me) And Amy’s choice was…….”The Horsey one Mom!!! because it is hand made!!!” “Ummm Amy…they are ALL hand made” ..”I know Mom but she DREW that all by herself, and I love it!”

KARA!!! You win Amy’s Challenge …congrats. Have your Mom email me your address and we will send you your prize.

Thanks EVERYONE for playing along. You made a little girl VERY happy.

My Card using Amy’s Sketch and Penny’s Challenge and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

 

OK, is it alright to say that you are proud of your work???? Well I am proud of this Miss Anya.  I think this is one of the best I have colored yet.  I am on the Copic  learning curve that’s for sure. So Penny’s challenge is to use NO DP’s… I random stamped my colonial white card stock with clouds and rain.

I am NOT a random stamper…despite all the tips and tricks..so I stamped these in lines  :0)   And as you may recall from THIS post there is candy up for grabs for participating in this sketch challenge…hee hee. 

Supplies: Colonial White, Dutch Blue, Grey flannel and Grey Wool CS CTMH, Nestabilities dies, Miss Anya SS TGF, Copic Markers, Prima Flowers, Cute little gem things that look like water drops form Hobby Lobby, TLC SS CTMH, Around The Block SS CTMH, Dutch Blue, Grey Wool, Grey Flannel,  Sunflower inks CTMH

Well I hope you are all enjoying a fabulous day with family! Please take a moment to be thankful for your family and the fact that you have the opportunity to be with them at the holidays. We spend our Thanksgiving alone as all my family are in the UK and hubby’s family are not in contact with us. Although I know there are times when you wish you could be alone for the holidays…be thankful you are not…we wish with all our hearts we could spend time with our family!

Have a blessed and safe Holiday.

Enjoy!

Card Patterns Week #42 AND A CHALLENGE FOR YOU…….SCROLL DOWN!

I haven’t done a Card Patterns Sketch in FOREVER…but this one was intriguing. The card was much prettier in my head…..though I am not totally unhappy with this one. The pattern paper is really busy so I chose to keep that sentiment  plain….though that scrolled font is so gorgeous it really doesn’t need anything else.

Supplies: All CTMH unless stated. Black Card Stock, Colonial White Card Stock, Black ink, Silhouette Creative Basics paper, lace ribbon, Pearls from my stash, Nestabilities dies, Gracious Greetings SS.

OK do you want to have some fun…make a little girl smile and win some great goodies????? Then read on….

So I was down in my space making my card tonight and I had a little helper (my 8 yr old DD)…..She was full of questions like “what’s embossing mom?” and “can I turn the handle on the cranky thing?” and “which one of these is a Cuttlebug?”, then ”What is a sketch?” After I explained all of the above to her she wanted to look at the CP sketch. Then I hear her go running upstairs and she comes back armed with paper, and a Sharpie marker.  After a while she produces her own sketch!!!! I was just tickled. After a discussion with her I decided to post it on here and offer it up as a challenge.  She wants people to make cards using her sketch and then she wants to pick the winner. I decided to offer up some goodies as incentive. I think it would make her day!!!  I don’t have a mr Linky so leave a comment on this post with a link to your card and we will check them out.  Here is the sketch

Rules:

1.Make a card/LO using this sketch and post a link to your project in the comment section of  this post by Wednesday December 2nd.
