Weekend Sketch Challenge #31

Here is this weekend’s sketch:

wsc-_31.jpg

To participate in the challenge and be entered in the  raffle, make a card with this layout and upload it either to your blog, or to an online gallery.

 If you upload your card on SCS, put WSC31  (NO SPACE INBETWEEN WSC AND 31) in the keyword section. That way we can look at all of them at once!

Post a link to your card to this blog entry as a comment. Please add your entry# to it.

I will determine the winner  with Random.org on Wednesday at 9:00 a.m.

My inspiration for the sketch is this card I made a year ago:

favorite-things-best-friends-shopping.jpg

I’m #8 if I’m counting right (hope so!) and my card is on my blog at http://divastamper.blogspot.com/2008/01/my-first-beate-challenge-card.html - my first time playing the WSC and it figures that I ended up deviating from it a little. Oops!

 
 
Patti C. Says:

#9…..I tweaked it a little bit as there already was a sentiment under the focal image. Hope that’s okay.

MrsBoz (CarrollAnn) Says:

I made one, but I think I blew it. I looked at the sketch, and then went into another room to make my card and forgot it was horizontal. I made mine vertical. It wasn’t until I got back to my computer that I realized my mistake! It’s uploaded to SCS here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/780555?cat=500&ppuser=94252 Thanks for the challenge though!
