11.12 Sketchy Thursdays Sketchy Challenge

It's me again!  Almost a clean sweep of posts by me all week long, It's like I'm taking over the blog.  ~bwah-ha-ha-ha~

(Sit tight for today's winners and DT Faves...Diana is a bit under the weather but is working on it!)

I get to bring you the Sketchy Thursday yumminess this week!

What did I tell you?  YUMMY!

Mr. Linky will be all ready to go in the sidebar there soon, just waiting for your awesome creations.  And you are so going to want to play along this week (at least, we hope you do!).  Our sponsor is Torendi!!

"Torendi" means trendy in Japanese and that’s exactly what they are! They are the new, fun, fresh and exciting side of paper crafting. They want you to know that it’s ok to be you and break away from the “norms” of paper crafting. Be different and have fun!  Torendi is committed to showing you new ideas and products from other countries and letting you find ways to incorporate them into your own unique style.  (Ahem - their AWESOME new Design Team will be inspiring you often throughout each month...make sure to check them out...Oh, is that someone familiar there??  Yep!  Yours truly! ~grin~)

  

Up for grabs this week - a super fun collection of "torendi" products:  American Crafts Elle Haute Boxed Ribbon, Bam Pop! Dream Chipboard, and 2 Bam Pop! stamps that are promo stamps and CAN'T BE PURCHASED - not even from Bam Pop!  One is the Bam Pop! logo and the other is a jellyfish that matches the ones on their Bam Pop! Vol. 3 Collection (see below)!!!!! 

So cute!

In honor of Torendi, the Sketchy Thursdays Design Team incorporated Japanese Pop Culture themes into their layout sketch samples:
