GS104-badge
Got Sketch 104
It's almost officially summer and here at Got Sketch? we are ready to kick it off in a big way with another installment of our Got Sketch? class series. That's right! Got Sketch 104 is set to kick off on June 15th just in time for some summer scrap inspiration. Summertime means lots of opportunities for some amazing pictures. Val and Janna are ready to help you get those pictures scrapped in meaningful layouts you'll treasure for years to come. Read all about Got Sketch 104 here. We hope to see you all in class! (Don't forget, we are offering a coupon applicable to this class. Code: getcrafty, expires 6/14/09)

SKETCH 86

Now on to our Sketch 86 reveal! This time we decided to change things up a bit with a card sketch. Our contributors did an amazing job as always - thank you ladies! And I even got in on the action and made a boyish card for the little men in my life! :)

Sketch 85

Sketch 85

Happy June, everyone!  Just two more weeks and my boys will be out of school for the summer.  We have lots of fun activities planned and of course I'm already making a mental list of all the photos I need to take for all those summertime layouts.  Spending more time outside means less time for me to scrap but using Val's sketches are a great way to scrap those amazing summer photos fast and easy. Also be sure to upload your creations using Val's sketches to our Got Sketch? blog gallery - we'd love to see what you do with our sketches and we're always on the lookout for potential contributors via our gallery.

Gearing up for our Anniversary!

Got Sketch is celebrating its 2nd year in just a couple more days!
We've got awesome surprises planned every week for our blog visitors -- Surprises you won't want to miss!

For 4 weeks in April, we will have weekly sketches and contributions from known paper-crafting designers in the industry, who I bet are some of your favorites!    Join us every Wednesday to see who they are & what they do with the sketches.  Because I am also a card-maker, we are thrilled to add some card sketches in the mix, too!

And if that isn't enough, we will also have weekly challenges and prizes.
For 4 weeks, there will be individual challenges based on the current sketches.  Random winners will be chosen.  There will also be surprise prizes at the end of the month.  So, be sure to participate.

We'll share the details to that on Wednesday, April 1, when we kick off with the first of the anniversary sketches!

To join in the challenges, you will need to be a member of the Got Sketch Gallery to be able to upload your work.  If you aren't already a member, be sure to join.

Until then, spread the word & we'll see you in a couple of days!

PS:  If you like mini books, I just designed a new Birthday Mini Book kit that is available for shipping in a few.  Catch the details here .
