WE ARE LOOKING FOR 3 DESIGN TEAM MEMBERS......

.... or maybe a Saturday Boy?

Would you like to be a Saturday Girl?

We are looking for 3 new design team members to join Sketch Saturday! :)
Initially on a 3 month trial, with a view to a permanent position we hope.

What is required:

You MUST have your own personal blog and be prepared to post each week.

You must be able to make a card each week, and upload it before midnight (UK time) on the Friday before the challenge goes live.
You will get the sketches well in advance, so you will have plenty of time to create.
You can use any craft materials you like to make your DT work (except copyright protected images of course),
The only 'rule' is that you stick as close as possible to the sketch, but of course artisitc licence plays a part and is welcomed, you don't have to be 'spot on' but the sketch design needs to be recognised within your work.
You must post about our challenge on your own blog each week, leaving links to SS and to our sponsors on all posts.

You must be prepared to leave comments for challengers, currently 1 challenger in every 10, although you are of course allowed to leave comments for more should you have the time to do so.

You will be expected to take a turn hosting a DT week.
DT weeks are the first Saturday of each month, when it's your turn, we want you to make your own sketch for the challenge, arrange a sponsor, and arrange the guest designer (GD) too. You will be expected to type up the post for this week.
DT week is only for one week, but your GD will be with us for the whole month, so would be expected to make a card for each Saturday in the month that you are DT host. You are responsible for uploading your GD's cards each week before the deadline.
You must also type up the winners post the following week after your DT week, and arrange for your winner to receive their prize from your sponsor.

Sketch Saturday is a challenge blog like any other, and we are happy for our DT to be members of other challenge blog DTs too.
We expect ALL of our DT members to treat SS with the same respect as others.
If you are currently on other DTs then please apply to join us if you want to be a part of our team too, however, if it is going to be a problem for you to make a card for us if you have deadlines and/or rules from other DTs to keep to, then please do not apply if there is a possibilty that SS could be pushed to one side so that you can make your card for another challenge blog instead.
It's only fair to the other SS DT members.
Saying that, real life has a habit of getting in the way sometimes, and if you need time out from all crafting for a while, that's no problem, we will cover your commenting while you take a break.


If you would like to join Sketch Saturday, please email myself (Jo) and Jilli with THREE of what you consider to be your favourite card/projects to date as well as telling us a little bit about you as a crafter.
Please don't send just photos, we need to see the individual BLOG POSTS
But no more than 3 please.
DO NOT just give us your blog address, we can look through your blogs anyway, we only want specific blog posts please.
Our email addresses are in the sidebar >>>

Deadline for applications is 28th January, if selected you will be notified 5th February, and we would like you to make your first DT card/project for challenge #195 - 18th February.
We look forward to receiving your emails! :)

Simon Says Stamp and Show, Show Us Your Anything But A Card......

Hey there ......welcome to another fabby challenge from the

  Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge 

....our fabulous generous sponsor is offcourse 

Simon Says Stamp......

Did you ever go to the Superstore?????????? you didn't my goodness, then you better go right now, cause they  have lots of wonderfull stuff for us crafters and we can never have enough so better go overthere oke?

The absolutely wonderfull part of joining the Challenge is also that our generous sponsor is offering a great prize to one lucky winner.....check this out....

Here we go.......the challenge for this week is SHOW US ANYTHING BUT A CARD....

so you can make anything you want but NOT a card.....and as long as it is VINTAGE you are more then welcome to join into the fun over at the Simon Says Stamp and Show......

Here is what I made......

I decided to Go for Valentines and altered an "old" choclit bowl. My own handmade VALENTINES CHOCLIT BOWL.....how cool is that eh?

Sometime ago my neighbour lady came over and gave me the bowl from Ferrero Rocher (LOL tooo bad it was empty though) and I thought that would come in handy ONE DAY....so now it was the time to use it....I thought of Valentines and YUMMIENESS....and something popped into my head right away.....so what did I use for this project mmmmmm..... I used Gesso for the outside and a lot of  Red tinted Distress inks such as Barn Door, Fired Brick, Vintage Photo, Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose...yep hard to believe perhaps but I used all of them fabby ones....So I worked with A little bit of The Tim and a little bit of The Wendy and a lot of myself (LOL)

 The roses are just so lovely to work with.....and I had fun with them....

The hearts are from the Tim's Idea-ology Grungeboard, this one is the Dots elements and shapes. This side is the front of the hearts......

And this is the back of the hearts, since they turn I thought I just have to cover this side too....I played with the Idea-ology Game Spinners and Sprocket Gears.. Does the heart look great??? or what? I just love these little cracks in it......and offcourse some lace that I found in my closet hehehe....

At first I took the lit off cause otherwise you cannot see the hearts that clearly....so now you have an idea how it looks like .......

And this is what it looks like when the lit is on ......some yummie choclits inside and my project is done....The front just looks like a heart eh? I did that on purpose offcourse......I decorated the egg with this wonderfull lace of roses.....and colored the lace with the Fired Brick Distress ink.

and what do ya think off the Idea-ology Timespieces? I used one on the back of the Bowl....the Huge Wings are from the Grungeboard also and were worked on with yep...the Crackle Distress Paint, the White Picket Fence and lots of distress inks....I think they worked out pretty good..... The hearts are worked on with lots of Crackle Paint Rock Candy and Crackle Distress Paint. I know I am just an addict on Crackle.....it gives such a wonderfull look....on anything that you use it on. 

On Top of the bowl I placed a Just Fly Butterfly from The Wendy Vecchi, I am in love with this fabby butterfly and I really enjoy it every time I work on them cuties.....

So guys are you in for lots and lots of fun?????????????? Then come on over to the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge Blog...and join into the fun.....don't forget to check out my AMAZING teamies individual blogs, my goodness are you in for a treat, they really made some AMAZING creations again....especially for your inspiration.....Have loads of fun and thank you for the time to read and visit my blog...and if you would like to leave me a little message that would be just great,

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW.......you can make anything you like as long it has everything to do with the Theme AND it has to be VINTAGY.....so better get your thinking cap on and wohooooo start being CREATIVE...

This is what I made for this weeks fabby challenge:

When I heard the new theme for this weeks challenge I immediatley thought of Love.....and 2012.....so I made  A LOVE GIFT BAG to start the NEW YEAR with.....I know it does look a bit small..but I can tell ya it is not hehehe you can even put a nice present for someone in the bag......

I used an "old" bag and altered it with a lovely image from a girl, worked on her with Crackle Paint Rock Candy just like the roses, to give it that special look......

Even the little flowers on the front of the bag are worked on with Crackle Paint Rock Candy.....Underneith the image I used a heart shaped doily. The papers that I worked with are from Graphic 45 Baby and Bride. Collection....

This is the back of the bag....The back of the gift bag has the papers from Graphic 45 on it. Just that...I kept it very simple on the back cause the front of my project has more then enough on it....only thing that I attached was the lace....

This is a picture of the top of the bag....I thought I would use lace for keeping it together..... I distressed everything with Rusty Hinge, Vintage Photo and Worn Lipstick. 

And this is my whole project when it is finished.....I attached the lace at the back so when you look in the front it looks different then when you place it in front....I thought that would be nice to do something different then what I usually do.....so worked on some pearls right through the 2012.......Everything I make has a meaning so also my Love gift bag.....I need for you to understand that A New Year had New opportunities and when you have found LOVE keep holding on to it....so LOVE is the KEY to a NEW YEAR, so CELEBRATE LOVE in 2012......So do I make any sence?? LOL......so guys you wanna have fun too....then come on over to the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge Blog and surprise us by making something old and new and VINTAGY.....and while your there check out my AMAZING teamies creations, they will blow your mind....my goodness everything is sooooooooooooooo beautifull.....

So guys have lots of fun
