A new month bring a new sponsor!!  

Please help me welcome StampFairy who will be our 

generous sponsor for the next two weeks. 

  "Stamp Fairy officially launched on November 5th

   2010.  Gerda Burghardt, artist and owner, creates 

  cute and whimsical digital images for the young and

  old, inspired by her life, love and 4 cute cats.  You 

  will find adorable teddies bears, young boys and girls,

 fuzzy little bunnies and whimsical critters.  Stamp

  Fairy has new releases along with a free image in 

  every new set published weekly on Fridays.  Please 

  visit the store and browse StampFairy’s wonderful 

 images.  We hope StampFairy’s images inspire
YOUR creativity."

Our talented sketch designer, Colleen, has provided this wonderful sketch for you to create with this week....  It lends itself to being a clean and simple card or simple enough that you can totally dress it up.

We have lots of inspiration for you this week...  first off, we have two designers from StampFairy who have joined us for this week.

Chrissy - StampFairy Designer

Chrissy has used the StampFairy image called 

"Molly & Sam in Love"

Click on the name to be taken right to the image in the StampFairy shop.

 

Martina- StampFairy Designer

Martina's adorable little bear is called "Lenny freebie"

You too can have him free - just click on the name and you will be directed to his image!

 

It always amazes me when our designers use the same image.  We were provided several images to play with, and both of our regular designers AND our guest designer chose to use
Molly Balloons 4.  This was NOT done on purpose LOL!

This week we have a guest designer on our design team.  

Please welcome Sylvia, 

who joins us all the way from Germany.  

Please check out her blog!

Sylvia - Guest Designer

Be Our Guest, Be Our Guest,

put your Magic to the Test . . . . . . . .

 

Ok maybe not magic but how about creativity?  Even though when I see some of the fabulous creations out there in blog-land I think that some of you must use some extra fairy dust because your creations are fabulous!!!

Each guest spot would be a 2 week commitment.  You would make a creation based off of a challenge we would provide you with.

 

What is in it for you?  You would get the chance to work with an AMAZING team and we would give you free digis to work with.

 

Thank you,

Melanie



Challenge 147 - Sketch

Welcome back to another weekly challenge.  I hope you are all settling back into "normal" routines.  It always seems to take so long to get back into the swing of things after the holidays!  One of the other things that always seems to happen after the holidays is everyone gets sick!  So please forgive us as we have some sick design team members.

January's sponsors are....

Here it is....



So it is just me this week..   here is my interpretation of this week's sketch.
