6.30 sketch challenge


Hello! It's Thursday, and I'm so excited to bring you another Sketchy Thursdays sketch challenge. This week is a double-page sketch for those of you that love 'em.

And for those that don't—use as much or as little of the sketch as you want. When you share your page on your blog, just let us know which side of the sketch you used or if you condensed it.

Even the DT was split down the middle on using it as a double. Here are the DT samples...










This is the last reveal day for Smitha, so I want to say THANK YOU to her for all her hard work this month. We loved having you with us, and please keep playing along. Your work is gorgeous!


This week's challenge is sponsored by Inspired to Scrap.

Inspired to Scrap (www.inspiredtoscrap.net) is a site dedicated to kits and inspirational scrapbooking classes. I2S has new kits every other month, classes during the off-kit months as well as a blog, message board, and gallery. We have monthly forum challenges, tutorials, and lots of chatting and inspiration on our message board.

Join I2S for some inspiration and fun! This week, they’d love to give all of the Sketchy Thursday readers a special early reveal of the brand new July/August. kit. Here’s your chance to see it early and win it! It will be available for purchase starting July 1st but if you’d like I2S to hold one for you today, e-mail Stacey {at} inspiredtoscrap.net.

July/August kit reveal

One random lucky winner this week will have a chance to win their choice of available kits from Inspired to Scrap. Including this newest one! YAY! Great prize! Now all you have to do is shop... head on over to the I2S store and view their kits so you can plot what you will choose.

Link your entry to the Mr. Linky in the sidebar before 10 p.m. (EST) on Wed., July 6 to be eligible for this week's prize from Inspired to Scrap.

6.23 Sketch

Hope summer/winter is treating you nice so far!



Here's what our Design Team made for your inspiration:

Check out those rhinestones...don't they "i-rock"?!!

Super cute brads, eh?  Aren't they the "i-top"?!!










This week we're excited to have Imaginisce join us as our sponsor!!!! 



Our DT member Heather is a part of the Imaginisce team also so we're doubly excited to share the Imaginisce love!

"Imagi-what?


We like to pronounce it this way: Im-aj’-e-nis. But we’re flexible. ;) IMAGINE + REMINISCE = IMAGINISCE


The Rumor is true...


The company is run by a color blind visionary, who started a wholesale design and manufacturing company inspiring individuals to celebrate and remember what they value most in their lives. Add some fresh color, innovative papers, gazillions of coordinating products, and incredible tools that give you the perfect final touches to a layout, card or even fashion accesories and you have IMAGINISCE! "

The winner of this week's challenge will win the Imaginisce i-top tool and a sampling of accessories!


Here's your chance to grip your new favorite tool! The i-top transforms an ordinary brad into a custom accent in an easy 2 step process. Just place your paper or fabric and blank brads in the tool and give a little squeeze. It's that easy! You just can't top it! The i-top tool comes equiped to make 16mm and 22mm brads, but has the ability to make 28mm brads and 34mm brads with add-on carriages, at an additional cost.


See the i-top tool in action: http://www.imaginisceblog.com/p/i-top-tool.html

Did you happen to catch my little comments on the first two layouts above?Diana and I thought we'd spread the Imaginisce love just that much more with you!  Check out our blogs for more info about our layouts and the Imaginisce tools we used.  (I'll say this...LOVE it!)

You have until next Wednesday June 29 at 10pm EST to enter a direct link to your layout based on today's sketch in Mr. Linky on our sidebar for your chance to win that amazing i-top!!!!!

Have fun creating!
