Default TESC Sketch Challenge #135

It’s time to kick off the Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge with a bang! Many of you have participated in these sketch challenges on my blog throughout the years and I’m so excited to bring them over here to the SCS community!

So here we go with TESC135!


I’d love for EVERYONE to participate! Here are the deets:

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 Splitcoaststampers before 8pm on Thursday, April 7th using keyword TESC135. Feel free to come back to this thread and link your creation, however, make sure you’ve uploaded it using the correct keyword as that’s how we’ll choose the winner.

3. You’re not required to use TE Stamps on your project, but I 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 (see below)!

The PRIZE!!

1. We will randomly select one person from all of the challenge uploads to receive a $10 gift certificate to the TE Store!

2. If you used predominantly TE Stamps on your project you’ll receive an extra $10 bonus for a total $20 gift certificate to the TE Store.

3. And this week only!! I’m searching for one new designer to join our fabulous Sketch Crew and provide inspiration for the sketch challenge! I’ll choose the most clever and creative card and the marvelous maker will join the crew! Could it be you!?

**If you'd like to be considered to join the Sketch Crew, please also enter keyword TESampler2011 (use a comma and a space between keywords. i.e. TESC135, TESampler2011)

Also, remember to use keyword tayloredexpressions whenever you upload your TE creations. This will include you in the TE customer gallery here on SCS!

See all of this week's TESC entries HERE!

Our fabulous Sketch Crew is:
Lori Craig (stamp_momma)
Jami Sibley (Jami)
Monika Davis (buzsy)
Melissa Sauls (Melissa_Aggie)
Lisa Hjulberg (TheCraft'sMeow)
Rachel Sztonyk (gingerbread-gal)

And Amber Hight (AmberDawn) the winner of our Top Chef prize during our Gallery Challenge is also joining us today!

And all of their beautiful samples are posted below!

Sketch Crew checking in!

Here's my sample featuring Hello Spring. I was totally inspired by Beate's adorable little basket of mints project! Loved the idea of punching out portions of these images.

There are so many possibilities with this sketch! I went for winter...which is perfectly fitting since I just looked out the window and it's snowing!

Hi Kathy! Glad you're here!
The sketch is in the original post at the top of the page. It's red and blue with four white circles on it.

Let me know if you have trouble finding it! Hope you can play along!
