Time for a Sketch

Welcome once again to our Challenge this week!

Shell here to bring you the sketch below that we'd like you to use this week.  You can turn it sideways, rotate it any which way you'd like as long as the Design Team can see the basic sketch......so grab your stamps, ink, paper and embellishments!
I will be away for a much needed vacation  to reconnect with family and friends as well as a break from work and crafting.  

Now some lovely samples from our always wonderful Design Team!

Halloween

Hi Everyone, Well it's that time of year again for all the witches and goblins and ghosts, to come out to trick or treat, and this week we have Halloween coming to Come and Get It Challenges, and we are sponsored by none other than Bugaboo, so you get a chance to play along and also win some Digital Stamps from Bugaboo.

Here is a little information on Bugaboo's History:
As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of paper crafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!
If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.


Now onto some inspiration from our Design Team this week

Colour Challenge- Olive Razzleberry and Pumpkin

Hi Everyone, Cindy here this week for your Colour Challenge this month. I've picked some colors you could use for Halloween, but could also use for other times too. So come and join us won't you. 

Unfortunately one of our Guest Designers has decided to step down, as she doesn't feel that making cards is for her, and she has other commitments in her life and can't continue. Thanks Rhonda for playing along with us and we wish you the best of luck in your new endeavors.


Remember with our Colour Challenges, You must use only the colours that are picked plus you may add any neutral you wish, which are brown, black, grey, white, vanilla, kraft, or skin tones.  Any other colors added other than these will result in your entry being deleted. Thanks for playing along and we look forward to visiting your blogs. 
Now here is some inspiration from the designers.
