Freshly Made Sketches #107

I've had a really busy week and my parents moved to Woodbury this weekend, so I wasn't sure I would be able to get a card done for this week's challenge at Freshly Made Sketches - a sketch by Jen T.

 

I did get one done today, but I went very simple with it. (Hopefully, now that my parents are so close to me, I'll have more time to post more cards!)

I used an ornament from the Ornament Keepsakes set. There are a few sets that Stampin' Up has carried over from the last catalog. You can see the carry over list here.

Stamp sets:Ornament Keepsakes, Petite Pairs

In With You

 

We've created a way for you to help us design and choose new stamp sets--In with You. Our artists have no shortage of stamp set ideas, but this contest gives us a chance to innovate with our customers in a social media setting--and get their perspective and endorsement before the set is available. The In with You program is currently open to anyone (demonstrators, customers, etc.) in the United States and Canada, including District of Columbia, APO/FPO, and Puerto Rico, but not Québec. So spread the word!

Once you join our In with You online community, you can submit your original artwork for stamp set challenges, vote and comment on other people's submissions, earn badges, and interact with others in the community. We will produce and sell one or more stamp sets from among the top-voted submissions in each challenge. Plus there are fabulous prizes for top designs. For more information, submission guidelines, terms and conditions, and to participate, go to http://inwithyou.ideascale.com.

Here is the latest winner, available for purchase:

Freshly Made Sketches #106

I missed out on last week's challenge. My youngest daughter, Abby, turned 5 this week. Needless to say, I was pretty busy getting ready for her party and everything else that goes along with 7 and 5 year olds. Anyway, I did get this week's challenge done. Here is the sketch for Freshly Made Sketches #106 - a sketch by Amy:

Even better, along with some great classic images, each "Best of" set will also include a never-before-seen image!
Some things to remember:

All Best of stamp sets will include 3-5 images, including a never-before seen image, and will be priced at $14.95.

Freshly Made Sketches #102

This week's Freshly Made Sketches is a sketch by Cindy.

When I saw the oval shape, I wanted to use the stamp from the Oh, Hello set. I've never used this stamp, even though I have wanted to for some time. I decided I wanted to go Halloween with this card, so I stamped it in black and went from there. Here is my take on the sketch:

 I did pull out some retired products for this card. The sentiment is from Googly Ghouls, which is retired along with the googly eyes.
