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.

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.

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!

Wow! Congratulations on the amazing number of hits! Thank you so much for providing all the amazing inspiration. I’m on vacation visiting family, so this was a bit of a challenge, but here’s what I was able to cobble together:

I love this sketch! This is my first time entering a challenge. I was looking for inspiration for a Mother’s Day card for my mom, and your sketch really caught my eye! Thanks!

Happy Mother’s Day!

How cool is this!
Not sure if I may have disqualified myself from the contest cuz I rotated the sketch but I sure had fun anyway!

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.

Hi Beate!
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!

Here is my second submission! I think that’s allowed. My Mother’s Day gift was a new table for my stamping area and most of Saturday to stamp! I tried a lot of new things.

Congradulations on all the blog hits! I love it and I’m learning soooo much!

Congratulations! I’m not the least bit surprised that you’re soaring to the top of the charts. Beate, you’re a great artist and you do a terrific job of sharing your ideas and techniques. You should take the rising numbers as proof that you’re very appreciated.
Hope I win… here is my contest entry!

How exciting! 200,000! Your blog is always a great place to visit on my blog rounds. There’s always something beautiful to see.
What a neat idea for blog candy! I had fun with this challenge and it got me using some stamps I haven’t used much. Here’s a link to my SCS gallery with my card using this sketch. Great sketch BTW, I’ll use it again.

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 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.

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!
