9.30 sketch challenge

Today's sketch is bittersweet because it marks the last sketch with our current wonderful Design Team.  Their weekly inspiration has been awesome and we wish them all well.  Thank you girls!  Hopefully we'll see you back here from time to time playing along with us!  Now you can actually play for all the yummy prizes we always drool over, LOL.

And now, for your inspiration...

This week's sketch is brought to you by {embellish*ology}. 



In her own words, Heather Mills, owner of {embellish*ology}:  "For years I've had a passion for scrapbooking. That passion turned into designing products to use in scrapbooking. Now, in addition to scrapbook supplies, I'm designing all kinds of products from party printables to promotional items."

Heather has so generously donated this amazing prize pack:

This is the entire {embellish*ology} Fright Night Halloween set, which includes:

• 1 set of 6 Fright Night labels
• 1 set of 6 Halloween tags
• 1 sheet of Fright Night Cut-outs
• 1 set of 5 coordinating wood grain tags
• 1 set of 6 Fright Night journaling squares

Please, come play along with us for your chance to win this yummy prize just in time for Halloween (my second favorite holiday!).  Just upload a direct link to your layout to Mr. Linky in the sidebar before 10pm EST next Wednesday, October 6 to play along.

And please, let our wonderful DT know just how amazing and inspiring they've been this past 6 months!

Hello! Welcome to a new week and a new sketch challenge for you! Remember that sketches are jumping off points and that doing a double-page layout is not required (as you will see with some of the DT examples).

This week's challenge is sponsored by Everyday Scrapbook.

EverydayScrapbook is excited to offer a $20.00 gift certificate for one of their unique signature EverydayFrames.

The wonderful thing about these versatile, 12x12 EverydayFrames is the way the page protector slides in & out to change and display your newest creations. Changing your seasonal displays has never been easier!

Also, newly added, are the white frames—now available! EverydayFrames are a must have for any scrapbooker who wants to enjoy their latest creations before putting them in a scrapbook. These frames are a delightful way to spoil yourself or to give as a gift for the approaching holiday season!

Michelle has made a special link on the website just for Sketchy Thursday customers to get a 20% discount! You can click on the EverydayFrame you want in the shop and it will take you to a Sketchy Thursday page where there will be a pull down link with the discount. When asked for special instructions, use the code: SketchyT12x12.

Make sure to link your creation to the Mr. Linky in the sidebar before 10 p.m. (EST) on Wed., 9/29 in order to be eligible to win this week's prize. Can't wait to see what you make!
