10.29 sketchy thursdays sketch challenge

Here's the latest sketch for you all! Do you love it?!

So what are you playing for this week? This Sketchy Thursdays sketch is brought to you by our friends at Art Glitter. See the DT samples below? Well, they have one thing in common... crazy glitter fun! It's tough to tell here, so I'm encouraging you all to go to their individual blogs for the up-close glitter shots and a description of what glitter was used.

Thanks again to Art Glitter for this next sponsorship. Check out their Web site, there is some great glitter there you can't find anywhere else.


Without further ado, here is what the DT came up with for you.








And, of course we will miss our GDT from October, Miss Maureen. I know she's OK with the transition to being a Sketchy Player again... now she can play to win! And there have been some great prizes... and some fantastic ones coming up.

meet scrapbook kit club


If you didn't meet them before, here they are again: Scrapbook Kit Club. Amber and the SBKC team are regular sponsors for Sketchy Thursdays. Here's a little bit about the club:

Scrapbook Kit Club is a monthly scrapbooking kit club with a personal touch! Every month you will receive scrapbooking creative inspiration in your mailbox. All you’ll have to do is add your photos and your story. You will find their kits include a variety of the latest scrapbooking products, mixed in with some “go to” favorites, along with other non-traditional supplies and exclusives to give your pages uniqueness and flair!

Here's the peek at the Nov. kit. Who wants to win it?! Gotta play to win, so get those entries in before 10 p.m. (EST) tonight for your chance. Link your page up to Mr. Linky in the left sidebar.

And the November Guest Design Team Member Is.....

Wow!  Great turnout for the voting!!  Thank you everyone who voted!!! 

As mentioned, the November GDT member would be chosen by a voting system a la Dancing With the Stars.  Do you watch??  It's probably the only show I ever watch consistently and actually view during the same week it was aired! 

DWTS votes are calculated by assigning a score (in this case 9 - 1) in order of viewer votes and then assigning another score in order of judges votes (the ST DT), then adding the two scores together to obtain the winner.  So, it is possible for the winner of the overall vote to not be the winner of the popular vote.  The judges' voting made it a VERY close race but in the end, the winner of the November Guest Design Team spot is....


drumroll please...


(am I killing you???)...

Thank you to everyone for entering the challenge!!!  Every single one of you did a FANTASTIC job!!!  I hope you all had a good experience with the challenge.  I WHOLEHEARTEDLY encourage you all to enter the challenge again.  The December GDT challenge will go up around the end of the first week of November (wow, is that ALREADY next week??!!).  I love to see your entries every week for the regular challenges, too, and hope to see you all return!
