Let's Get Sketchy!

Hi All!
Can you believe it's 2013?! Geez, things have moved so fast. So here we are - it's January and time for another fabulous sketch challenge from Kathi.  Here's January's Sketch!

 

Please feel free to flip it, flop it, and make it your own. Just as long as you use your Bombshell stamps and have fun with it, it's good!

Be sure to use the Inlinkz at the bottom of the Bombshell's Blog to share your creation with us AND have the chance to win the fabulous prize of a $20 gift certificate to the Bombshell Stamps store!

I really LOVED this sketch, but i usually do. I was so excited to use the Mi Amor set because my daughter has inspired me once again. As I've said before, she collects Monster High dolls. They recently came out with 2 new characters and one of these fab gals is called Skeleta Calaveres and she looks like a walking sugar skull! The skirt she wears even look like the brightly colored banners they use to decorate for Day of the Dead, so I borrowed a bit from Skeleta and any excuse to use anything sugar skull related rocks!

 

 Mi Amor is colored with what else - Copics! and I used the medium rosette die by Tim Holtz as well as the "Rebel" embossing folder from the Rock Princess set by Provo Craft.

 

Have fun and good luck!

 

Until Next Time,

 

Fabulous Freebie Friday!!!

Hi All!

It's Fabulous Freebie Friday! Head over to Sassy Studio Designs on Paper Craft Planet and pick up a FREE Sassy Studios image (click here), it will only be available 24 hours. Our challenge for this fortnight is to use something from your stash! (these challenges run for 2 weeks). You don't have to go out and get something new to work with, although it is fun. I'm sure there's ton of fabulous things you already have that you can use to create something wonderful.

So here are the rules... Create any project that features a Sassy Studio Designs image and wait - there's no rules! Remember you MUST use a SSD image to play along, bonus points if you use one of the freebies, of course. So grab the freebie, and we hope you'll play along!!

• You MUST use a Sassy Studio Designs image
• A bonus entry will be given to anyone who uses either this week's or next week's freebie image
• You MUST create a project based on the current challenge
• You have until 11:59pm EDT on January 4th to upload your creation here, under this discussion, on PCP
• You may enter as often as you wish during the two week period
• The prize is two Sassy Studio Designs images of the winner's choice

This week's freebie is "Diva Dianna". Now I have to say the whole time I worked on this I had Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana" going thru my head with except I replaced Dirty Diana with Diva Dianna. I know I'm a dork. Anyway, I used some Basic Grey 6x6 paper I've had a while as well as some paper flowers which I colored with Copics as well as the image so they all match. The card base has been hangin around my art room for a while too - I like the shape, I don't know why it's been here for so long with nothing done with it. Anyway here's Dianna....

Remember just like Cinderella, you have until midnight (okay pretty darn close) to get your freebie - I want to see ya'll play along!

Good Luck!

Until Next Time,

Make it a Gift with Bombshells!

Hi All!

I know everything's a bit screwy - this hop was actually supposed to take place last Wed., but being that it was the day after Christmas, it was too crazy to try and get anything done, so we're doing it today instead! Happy New Year!

So here's our hoppy challenge this month - use your Bombshells to create a gifty item. Here again is another big challenge for me as I don't normally do these kinds of projects, but, sometimes you need to step out of that ol' comfort zone right? I created a key chain using Sugar Skulls which I embossed, then painted with Perfect Pearls, and added them to Tim Holtz fragments, key chain and baubles.

They'll look nice hanging from my purse or my keys. I haven't decided yet. :-)


Now it's your turn to hippty hop along with us and remember to leave some New Year's love - you could win a prize! Your next stop is the lovely Sparkly Mary!
