welcome to the new home for sketchy thursdays!

Hello and welcome to the new home for Sketchy Thursdays! With upwards of 30 people playing along each week, my little blog was feeling overwhelmed and over taken. AND... now if you just type the name of the challenge into your browser... you'll find SKETCHY THURSDAYS! Bookmark this site and play often!!

First big announcement, and you may see in the sidebar already, I have a partner in crime... HEIDI!! Most of you know her already around the scrappy block. She is active on Unity Stamps Co. blog hops, a Memories Always - Forever DT member, a SPCC Diva, a Spunky Scrapper DT member and now also the co-founder of Sketchy Thursdays.

Every girl needs a great girlfriend to support her, and Heidi (tear) you have been that for me.

Other things you may be wondering about for our new home: If you played already on my blog, no worries, I will still find your entry. If you haven't submitted yet for this week, see below and to the left, Mr. Linky and the original post are here, too. Yeah!

And... lastly, how was all of this possible? GREAT SPONSORS!! We want you to WANT to play over here, so we have prizes. Here's how it's all gonna work:
• Starting Monday there will be prizes posted.
• All followers are automatically entered into every drawing (yeah!! we love our followers).
• Every post you comment on, you have a second entry into that drawing for that day.
• Want us to really love you?! Leave a comment telling us you talked about Sketchy Thursdays' prize of the day on a forum, your blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc. and we'll count you again for that day.

Now, what are we winning? We'll be posting prizes from our launch sponsors, as well as still giving the prizes for the sketch challenge each week, until 9/24. All winners will be announced on 9/25. Do the math... THAT'S A LOT OF PRIZES!! And a lot of chances!

A big thank you to our sponsors! Cosmo Cricket, Unity Stamp Co. and Flamingo Scraps!


Now, let's get to playing! If you are new to Sketchy Thursdays, see this post for the sketch this week. Play by 11:59 p.m. (EST) on Wednesday, and you will be entered to win a prize from Precocious Paper.

PS: DT announcment is tomorrow. :) See you all then!!

We are so excited to make Sketchy Thursdays the best challenge blog out there!!!

And did you see our grand opening sponsors??!!!!! You will NOT BELIEVE what they have donated to gift to our wonderful followers!! So support, blab, spread the word, bring on new followers, and PLAY often these next couple weeks (and 4EVAH, of course!) to increase your chances of winning!!!
