Happy 3 Year Blogiversary to Unscripted Sketches!!! Sketch #153 Debut


We’re celebrating THREE years in blog land so CLICK HERE to join our blog party! We’d like to thank everyone who has visited us over the past three years. We’ve seen lots of changes over the past three years and I think you’re going to like the newest ones, too! There are prizes to be won - so come on over and play!!! AND....Drumroll Please....the new Design Team is ANNOUNCED! YAY!!!

It's an anniversary for me as well. This weekend marks one year on the Unscripted Sketches Design Team! The time has flown by - and it has been so much fun. Great News! I will be continuing on with this fantastic group of designers. When joining Unscripted Sketches a year ago, I was challenged to create something once-a-week. This has blossomed into a creative whirlwind for me...I am creating almost daily now. It all began with a sketch!


I have been a loyal follower of Unscripted Sketches since it began. I was cruising around on twitter and the internet and just happened upon it. I look forward to receiving the weekly Sketch-it Saturday in my email inbox every Saturday afternoon - it's my weekly dose of creative inspiration. This remains true now that I am one of Unscripted Sketches Design Team members - I don't peek at what is coming from everyone each week. I LOVE the surprise every Saturday.

Here's my creation for today's sketch...the GRINCH is back! This is Christmas card number 15.


I hope everyone has a Happy Easter! Please don't forget on May 5th I will be having my online "LIVE" debut on the Odd Show National Scrapbook Day Live Extravaganza. There is a Cricut Expression 2 being given away at the event - this is a fundraising raffle for the Charity Wings organization. Prize will be shipped internationally. Click HERE to get your tickets before they are gone! Just $5 gets you three chances to win and all proceeds go to charity. WIN - WIN!

Santa's Keeping Watch While the Bunny's AWAY!
Christmas Card #14 using Unscripted Sketches #152

Its been 14 weeks now and I'm still making Christmas cards weekly for the Unscripted Sketches Design Team Sketch-It Saturday post! Sorry, the Grinch goodies just wouldn't cooperate with this sketch...but this super cute "Rusty Pickle" Santa sure fit the bill. 


This week's creation is an assortment of holiday paper pieces...background and "Ho-Ho" border are from DCVW holiday stacks, Santa is cut out from a piece of Rusty Pickle 12x12 paper that has many Santas, and the circle is a leftover piece of Memories Complete holiday paper. Santa is double matted with gold and green cardstock scraps. I used some Miracle Tape to hold this altogether. This is a huge card! Preparing for my craft show, I came across a kit I have for a hanging magnetic clipboard project I've never made...and guess what??? The chipboard backing the same EXACT size...so this lil' guy is going to be immortalized with modge-podge. I'll post a photo when complete...maybe on an upcoming Festive Friday. 


What is Sketch it Saturdays at Unscripted Sketches? Every Saturday morning a new sketch is posted for the week. Flip the sketch, rotate it… create a card, a scrapbook page, a wall hanging, digital, paper, fabric, paint, anything your imagination comes up with! There is no right or wrong way, as long as you are using the Unscripted sketch as the inspiration for your creation! And everyone is invited to join in the fun...and post your creation on their page for all the world to see!
