Winner of challenge #82

The winner of last weeks challenge is...

Jacky! (ScrappyJacky)

Congratulations Jacky! Please could you email me (Jo) with your choice of images, you can choose 6 single images from Sandra's digi stamps selection.

Once you have let me know your choices I shall forward them onto Sandra who will then send them directly to you :)

Can I just say though, that I have no internet access at the moment and am using my parents pc whenever I visit. I will reply to you as soon as I can though so that you know I have received your email.

Have fun choosing!

Sketch #82 - 19th December - sponsored by Sandra Dry Digi Stamps

Hello everyone! Can you believe that Christmas day is less than a week away?!
I hope that you are all prepared for the big day :)

This weeks challenge is the last one here for 2009, the design team will be having a well deserved week off from card making so they can celebrate the festivities with their loved ones.
There will be a post next saturday though, to declare the winner of this weeks challenge, which is being sponsored by a good friend of Sketch saturday, previous design team member Sandra Dry.



Sandra is very kindly offering our challenge winner 6 (yes SIX!) single images from her site, or any combination making up 6 images! great prize eh?
Sandra is a very talented designer, who creates fabulous digi images so you're in for a treat!
I asked Sandra if she'd like to make a card using this weeks sketch and she said yes! great to have her back, even if it is for just one week. Here is her card...




And here is our sketch for this week...

Here is the fabulous card made by Squirrel who has been our guest designer for the month of December, as there won't be a challenge next week, we have only had the pleasure of her company for 3 weeks, but we would all like to thank her for joining us and for producing such lovely cards to show you all.
Thank you Squirrel, and Merry Christmas! xx

Here are the wonderful creations made by the design team...

Sketch #80 ~ 5th December Sponsored by Whiff of Joy Stamps

Happy Saturday Everyone! My name is Jeanette and it is my turn to host the challenge. That means I created the sketch this week, arranged a sponsor and wrote the post up. Whew, I don't know how Jo does this so perfectly every week! Thanks Sweetie!

We have a new member joining our team this week. I hope you can join me in welcoming dear Emma to our team! We are so happy to have you as part of the team!

I am so happy to share with you the gorgeous prize that we have for this week's challenge. My dear friend Katharina is very generously sponsoring my week with this sweet stamp. It is one of my favorite Whiff of Joy stamps and is called Willow Reading a Story.

Here is my little sketch for you to follow:

It was also my turn to pick a Guest Designer for the month. I knew right away that I wanted to invite Squirrel. I first noticed her lovely creations a few months ago and I just love her amazing style. I am so happy that she agreed to guest for us! Here is her first card for us:

Welcome to...... Emma!

We have a new design team member! :)

We are very happy to announce that Emma Lockley has agreed to join our design team.
Emma was very close to joining our little family at the recent DT call, so rather than sending out another DT call for one member so soon after the last one, we decided it would be better to offer the position to the person who was closest last time...... which was Emma!

Emma has set to work straight away and has created a stunning card for tomorrows challenge, so please pop back tomorrow to see her gorgeous work and to snag the sketch for your own wonderful creation!

Welcome to our little family Emma! xx
