Woo-hoo!!!! It's Sketch Time!! Are you guys ready to kick off 2009 with a bang?
Today's sketch was inspired by a card I saw in an old Stampin' Up! catty.
My take....... Yes I know it's a little different from the sketch. 
But that's the whole point of a sketch... it's YOUR interpretation of it that makes it so fun to look at. LOL!
Isn't this gumball machine the cutest? It's from the lastest release from A Muse. And this image is just the tip of the iceberg. There a several more adorable, must haves including this notecard I used. It comes with polka dot envies!!!
My good friend Michele H. (Hi Michele! 
) was recently at The Paper Garden in Sacramento and picked this up for me. Isn't she BEST?!? I think she is.
Now it's your turn to play with the sketch. I'll choose the most clever, creative, and cute creation from the submissions this week to be the next Sketch Artist. Your design will also be featured on my blog next week!
Sooooooo let's see how many players we can get this week. The ol' blog has been kinda quite lately with the holidays and all. But let's make some noise!!
You have until next Wed. 1/14 to play along. Please leave a comment here on my blog with a link to your post. When uploading to SCS, please use the keyword ESS20 for this challenge.
Have a wonderful day!!
sooo cute tracy ;) love what you did with the ribbon!!

Oh my goodness, Tracy! This is so cute! I love it!!! I ordered a bunch of the new A Muse stamps and I even ordered these notecards with the pink polka dot envies. (Can't wait to get them!!!) And I ordered this set of nestabilities last month, but still haven't received them. (Can't wait to get them either!) I love your card so much! I love the pink ribbon and the button. CUTE! CUTE! CUTE!!! :)
