Sketch 608

Sketch #608

Today's Sketch was created by Michelle and digitized by Brandi.

Back in 2013, I started this Challenge Blog with my crafty friend Darla. I didn’t think I’d still be creating sketches 11 years later. With us reaching 600 sketches, a huge milestone I thought it would be fun to revisit some of our 1st sketches. So, on the 3rd Monday of each month for the next 12 months, we will feature our first 12 sketches. You can follow the link shared below to revisit our starting year. Thank you for being a part of my crafting journey – Michelle








The Top 3 from last week will be announced on Wednesday, as well as the design team creations using this week's sketch. We decided to do it this way so no one was influenced by our interpretations right off the start. It will allow you to start your own between now and then and check ours out on Wednesday.

Remember that your creation does NOT have to be a card, it can be absolutely anything as long as you used this sketch somehow. If you use this sketch to create more than one project feel free to enter more than once, each project must be linked separately.

Don't want to miss any posts?? Sign up for email updates from our challenge blog so you don't miss out. No worries, there will only be 2 postings per week. (see sidebar for email subscription)

Guidelines for entering can be found here.

The top 3 will be chosen by the Design Team and will be announced on the Wednesday after submissions close, along with the design team's creations for that week. Check back to see who made the Top 3 and if it's you then grab the blog badge over on the sidebar for your blog and display it proudly!

Now it's your turn to create!

This week we are also partnering with the ladies over at Double Trouble.



WELCOME to Challenge #180 - Let the Troubles Begin!
This Challenge runs from
Monday, November 18th thru Sunday, December 1st
"Stitch It Up"


THING 1: Trouble Maker
says, "Our requirement for this challenge is simple... use stitching somewhere in your project. There are many possibilities for using paper scraps, stencils, and even embossing folders to create patchwork, quilting, and/or knit designs. Consider using punch- or die-cutting, hand or machine sewing, piercing, hand-drawn stitching, needlework or cross-stitching, etc... so, keep calm and stitch on.  'Stitch It Up' and show us your creativity."

You can stop here...
OR
UseTwisted Sister's optional twist to create some stitchery on one of the AHSC Sketches. 


THING 3: Twisted Sister
says, "Well, most of you know my specialty... I usually provide you with an optional twist, but I'm simply sayin' that if you have used either of the Atlantic Hearts sketches below, within the dates required, you will earn another chance in our random drawing for each time you use the sketch.
