It’s a BIG DEAL!!!
I can’t believe it, but I don’t think the counter is lying. I am approaching the 200,000 mark! That’s just crazy! Because it is such a big deal, the winner of these Fresh and Fun Freebies will receive:
- One brand spanking new wonderful Big Deal Alpha Stamp set from Stampin’ Up!
- one card from me
- a big pile of May Arts ribbon
This time, I am not asking for answers to a question, I am asking you to STAMP! Use this layout:
Make a card, upload it on your blog and/or on splitcoast and put a link to the card in the comment box. I will leave this contest running until Monday morning and draw a winner at 9 a.m. central time. One link to a card equals one entry. You can make more then one card.
Only comments with links to cards will count for as an entry for the giveaway. I will count over the ones that don’t have one!
If you are interested in sharing some of your cards, send Debbi Dresser an email at pfcrensmom-cardsfortroops@yahoo.com. She collects cards for the troops. Right now she needs Father’s day cards and any occasion cards. The cards will have to be blank and she will need a blank envelope as well.
I can’t wait to see what you all come up with. I made a card last week with this sketch. You can find it here.
Woo HOO!!! 200K!!!! YOU ARE SO LOVED!!! (especially by me!)
Awesome…I am so there! This sketch rocks!
Wow, great idea! I will have to work on it this weekend! You can’t know how much your blog means to everyone! You ROCK!!!! I don’t know how you have the time to do everything you do!
Aww Man! I am in the middle of a move and all my stuff is packed up!
Great sketch! Wow, 200K!!! Awesome!
You must be so excited! Congrats! I enjoy everything you post. TFS! I don’t have a blog or SCS Gallery - so I’m sad I can’t participate but someone will be happy with all the goodies. Please email the address for the lady who is collecting cards. Thanks - Dottie K (emailed image)#6
OH….Beate! What a gift! You are rockin’ your blog!
Hi Beate,
Thanks for your great contest! It was the nudge I needed to get my mom’s Mother’s Day card done! I hope this link works… if not I will try again.

Wow! Cool challenge! I love the idea of a sketch. So, here’s mine: Renée’s Fresh & Fun Challenge #2
Got my card done today! You can view it here…http://paperavenue.blogspot.com/
Thanks!! #3
Oooh, how fun! And, since Big Deal Alpha is on my “must buy” list, this works out perfectly. Of course, that would mean I’d have to win your blog candy…but at least I had fun! Love your blog, by the way!!

Hello Beate:
You dont know me but I certainly know you thru your beautiful artwork. I am a SU demo, have been for 10 yrs. But I am more of the hobby demo cuz I do work fulltime. I love your blogsite, I visit every few days to see what you have been creating. Thanks for the great inspiration. I dont do as much creating as you do, but it feels good to be back into it after a very long and stressful tax season. I took your challenge and here is the link to my card 1st card on SCS.

Thanks for challenging me to think outside the traditional box! I work better with a sketch/template!

I’m trying again. Here’s my link. I hope it works. The images are awating approval, so they may not be there right away, but they will be soon.I’ll email you them too–I know that won’t get me entered in the contest though. Sigh……..gotta learn more about SCS I guess.

Wow! This was a fun sketch challenge. At first, I had no idea what to do–I was supposed to be CLEANING my stamp room when I saw the challenge–so I literally grabbed scraps and used them! I don’t think I’ve ever thrown a card together so quickly. I’ve uploaded it to my gallery at SCS, but here’s the link: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/554365?cat=500&ppuser=5278
Thanks for the inspiration!

Edit #59
And I did this one earlier, but didn’t think I could use it since I change the location of the flower, but what the heck! It’s a sketch, so some creative licensing is allowed, right? The flowers just didn’t look right in the upper left: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/553722?cat=500&ppuser=118095

Congrats on reaching the 200,000 mark. I’m certainly not surprised. I am fairly new to stamping but your name was one of the first I learned. I wonder if you realize how much inspiration you give to those of us just learning. The card sketch was fun. I’m posting this one then I’m going to make another. I wasn’t sure about it at first but I really like it.

Wow, 200,000 hits. It’s hard to even imagine. Good for you! I’m having issues linking to the blog entry itself but have been able to link to the enlarged version of the picture. If you need to see it in one frame, just go to my blog entry for May 13th. Thanks for letting us all play with such a great sketch. I’ll be sure to use this one again. Of course I didn’t have the bigger primas to attach, (must remember to buy more…lol) but found some baby ones. Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!

Well I must say thank you for getting 200,000 hits and keep up the good work. I hope you get a chance to check out everyone’s card you have inspired. My stamping will not be the same now that I see cards in a whole new way. (remove the stamps and colors focus on the layout) Thanks again!!! http://ssqcorner.blogspot.com/2007/05/it-is-big-deal.html

I got a second card done. I really do like this sketch. I had to play around with the Fiskers Shape Template and made ovals, and decorative borders. Here’s card #2.

So Beate, I think you are the one who kicked me into gear! I have been wanting to start my own blog for so long. I love the Bid Deal Stamp Set, so I thought “why not start a blog and possibly get it for free!” I had a lot of fun making this card. Thanks so much! Shawntel

I can’t wait to try this sketch challenge - it will be my first! And you are awesome!
Beate,
I am sure I am past the due date, but you have been such an inspiration to me for years through splitcoaststampers.com. I had to create a card using your sketch challenge. I hope you enjoy it.

congratulations on over 200,000 hits..You deserve it!! Thanks for all your inspiration through the years. Although I am new to blogging, I have been a member of Splitcoaststampers..
I love all of your cards and all of the wonderful tutorials you have done for SplitCoast. I have been oogling over this stamp set for the longest time, but I have myself on a budget for stamp supplies and this set isn’t in that budget. So I thought I would try entering your contest. I love this layout and, time permitting, I hope to make more! Thanks for this great challenge and the opportunity for wonderful blog candy! Congrats on 200,000!
