Happy Friday!!  I'm super excited not only because Taylor's sketches are back, but you are looking at the new TESC Coordinator!  I'm so honored to be tasked with helping Taylor organize the sketch challenges. 

Taylor is also bringing back a featured stamper who will be awarded "Top Chef" honors for each sketch challenge. Your design and blog will be featured on Taylor's blog during the following week's sketch challenge!

Here's my take on this sketch.  I was hoarding this fun paper from Doodlebug Designs since Halloween (I think) and just had to use it with my new Love Monsters set.  I wanted to do a non-traditional love card and this paper was just the ticket for that.

  
Here's everything you need to know in order to participate:

1. Create a card using the sketch as inspiration. Feel free to switch up the shape or size of your card. As long as your project follows the general sketch, you’re good to go! You may play as many times as you want. Each upload will be entered into our weekly drawing, so the more you create - the better chance you have of winning the PRIZE!

2. Upload your project to Taylor's blog, using In Linkz before 8pm PST on Thursday, February 9th. If you also choose to upload your creation to online galleries (like here on SCS), use the keyword TESC151.

3. You’re not required to use TE Stamps on your project, but we love it when you do! And if you’re drawn as our weekly winner and you’ve used TE Stamps on your project you’ll get a little sumpin’ sumpin’ extra!

Hi everyone!  Are you ready for a little sketchy time?  I have to admit I'm a little excited about the new sketch, as it came from a card I whipped up last weekend.  It's been a long time since I've had time to stamp just for fun, so when inspiration hits, you have to run with it. 

Speaking of inspiration.....I was very inspired by the submissions to last weeks sketch.  As I was creating it I kept thinking, "how would I use it?"  And let me tell you - you guys had WAYYYYYYY better ideas than I did.    You guys are good!  So without further adieu, please join me in congratulating this weeks featured Sketch Artist......

TAMMIE

Isn't he just THE cutest?  I'm still cracking up at the little caption coming out of his mouth.  It almost looks like a burp.  I've always been in awe of these easel cards.  I have to try doing one myself.  Tammie rocks this one with her fun color combo and bubble borders.  The pearls are a welcomed added touch.  Her take on the sketch surely proves a whale of a good time.  You won't want to miss stopping by her blog One Happy Stamper.  There's tons of eye candy just waiting for you.

CONGRATULATIONS TAMMIE!!

This weeks sketch was inspired by a card I made over the weekend using Sky's The Limit and coordinating die from Taylored Expressions.  I had so much fun making this.

So, without trying to sound too corny - the sky's the limit on this weeks sketch! 

Remember, I'll choose the most clever, creative, and cute creation from the submissions this week to be the next Sketch Artist. Your design will also be featured on my blog next week!

You have until next Wed. 2/1 to play along.   When uploading to SCS and PCP or or your blog please use keyword ESS158 for the challenge.

Please be sure to stop by tomorrow for a special announcement and the return of Taylor's Sketch Challenges!!!

Have a wonderful day!!!
