Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch Challenge #007:

You may recall that I've participated in several Stampin' Queen sketch challenges in the past and have encouraged you too play along too. Well,  this group recently changed their name to the Paper Craft Crew and I think you're really going to like the changes they've made to their blog.  

Take a look at this simple yet terrific sketch designed by the Paper Craft Crew, for this week's sketch challenge . If you want to play along too, the deadline is Monday September 17th 9 AM EST.  Be sure to check out their guidelines for this challenge by clicking here.  You can also vote for your favourites from Monday, September 17th at 9 AM EST to Tuesday, September 18th at 1:00 PM EST so make sure you check out all the entries and vote.

 

You're going to find that Paper Craft Crew is comprised of a very talented and creative team of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators for their weekly and monthly card making challenges.    But it gets better, because the Paper Craft Crew is also offering a once a month scrapbooking sketch challenge option on this site.  Here's a look at their first Scrapbooking Sketch Challenge #PCCSS001.  Isn't it an awesome sketch.  Entries will be accepted until September 23rd so there's still time to get in on the fun and prizes! 

 

 

Did I say prizes?  In honour of this being Paper Craft Crew's first Scrapbook Sketch Challenge and to make things even more exciting, they are offering a chance to win a Snowflake Season Simply Scrappin' Layout Kit Free!

 

To be entered into this Blog Candy contest all you need to do is submit your scrapbook page using this month's sketch.  There's still plenty of time to enter.  The winner will be determined by voting through InLinkz and voting will be for 5 days so you can also share and encourage your friends to visit www.papercraftcrew.com to VOTE!  Voting will end on Thursday, September 27th @ 9:00 PM EST and the winner will be announced on Monday, October 1st!  Details are on the blog.

I'll be posting my entries later today so I hope you'll check back and if you like mine cast a vote, I'd appreciate it!  Thanks so much.

 

 

No More Monkey Business

Sometimes really great things must come to an end.  After today the cute little Monkey badge won't be on my side-bar anymore and I wanted to let you know why.

Tonight I heard that A La Card Monkey Challenges were ending, and I'm really sad.  I liked, no loved this small challenge site for it's friendliness and the great weekly sketches, and fun posts. Over the past two years I've entered many of these challenges and each time it was with enthusiasm and anticipation of the great projects I would see.  

The wonderful design team comprised of Shirley Sumption and Terry Blais (a dynamic duo if ever there was one) and the winners of the Monkey Princess and Monkey Guest Designerhonors, never failed.  And, a couple of times I was even lucky enough to be selected as a Monkey Princess.  That was so cool! 

So this post is dedicated to remembering some of those sketches and some of my entries.  Sorry I couldn't put these into a collage..............have to get another program for that.  Enjoy! 

Loved this sketch, so cute!

 

This was such a yummy sketch!
