WMSC1 Waltzingmouse Stamps' Sketch Challenge

Hi crafters!  After several weeks of planning, the day has arrived and I’m happy to be able to share with you that Waltzingmouse Stamps now has their own weekly sketch challenge on their own special blog.  You can find all the wonderful details HERE!  The Waltzingmouse Stamps Design Team hopes that you will play along with us. Beginning today and each Saturday, a sketch will be posted to help motivate and inspire your creative muse.

Using Waltzingmouse Stamps is not required to play along with the challenges, but we would love it if you did.  Claire has offered to sweeten the pot from time to time by offering a prize for the most inspirational project.  A bonus prize will be awarded to the winner who uses a Waltzingmouse Stamps images. Just create a project using the sketch design below and then upload your project to your blog or online gallery (please use the keyword/tag of WMSC1 when you upload to a gallery)  and then visit the Waltzingmouse Stamps Challenge Blog and leave a post with a link to your project.  You have until next Thursday, June 10th at 11:59 pm Eastern Time to post your link and the winner will be announced on next Saturday – just in time for the next sketch challenge!

I used Afternoon Tea and Afternoon Tea Sentiments to create my card for this challenge.  Using papers from SEI in these rich and yummy colors, I paper pieced my teapot and punched my border to complete my design.

I added some great pearls, brads and flowers from Zva Creative to accent my focal image and sentiment.

Are you motivated to play along?  I sure hope so.  I’ll be watching the sketch challenge blog for YOUR link.  You might even win a prize!

Basement Rehab Update: My brother-in-law came over last night and helped Victor and me move all the last remaining items from the basement and now all the boxes, chests and shelves have been redistributed to various spots in the house and a good portion of the garage.  Poor Victor has been banished to parking in the driveway since there is no longer room for us both to park in the garage. Not huge, but some progress.

Have a wonderful Saturday and live creatively!
