Hello and welcome to a new challenge blog, the Sketch and Stash Challenge!
It couldn't be simpler to enter! Every 2 weeks there is a sketch to follow and all you have to do is use your new or never used (or hardly used!) stash on your creation! This is your chance to fall in love with all that stash again or just to show off with your brand new stash!! For full details on the challenge please see on the right!
We also have to announce the winner of the Willow With Umbrella stamp, so our congratulations go to...
Comment #8 which was Kim!
Congratulations Kim! Please contact Becky with your address!!
Don't worry if you didn't win the blog candy, there is a prize this fortnight for one lucky person chosen at random, these gorgeous love themed embellishments and stamps just in time for your Valentine's cards! All you have to do is enter the challenge for your chance to win!
So onto the challenge, here is Sketch # 1.
You can rotate it, re size the elements and add extra bits and bobs if you need to!
A nice and easy one for you to start with! We hope you have fun creating and We can't wait to see your stash too! Please tell us which item is your new purchase (or newish etc... we won't ask for proof of purchase lol!!) or maybe use an item which you've never used since you've bought it!
And here are the inspirational cards made by the design team

Congratulations on your first challenge - I wish you a successful
venture and if your DT designs are anything to go by - this will happen because they are inspiring.

Well I vowed in 2009 I would continue to make all my cards for charity BUT I would also try to take part in some challenges as it is a good way to try new things out. Here's my first go at a challenge, other than a Forum challenge, so please be gentle with me.
The new item I have used on here is one of my new Lovins stamps of a little boy and little girl having a peck on the cheek. I have watercoloured the images with Lyra Watercolours which I think are FAB. The dahlia is made from a template from Split Coast Stampers. I used a Purple Hydrangea Versa Magic Dew Drop to colour alternate levels. It was quite hard for my hands and eyes to cut out but good therapy me thinks. To finish off the card is a piece of lilac butterfly glitter card, some purple card, some silver mirror board and a lilac brad.
I hope this entry is OK and I hope to do more in the future. I hope I have done this right - please let me know if I haven't.

In my card I have been using one of my new ribbons to create a fluffy flower: it's Fantasia Chunky knitting yarn, sold by V&A Products Ltd., Bradford, UK. It's also the first time I have used this button with the cute stitches going all over it. I have purcheased both items in December.
Hi I love the cards that have been made by fellow crafters and of course the design team for their inspiration. This is my first challenge for several months and my first for 2009 my card is now on my blog at http://coldwaters2.blogspot.com

The center image is from the Rock Star 6x6 pack which I've had for about 6 months and finally even looked at it for this challenge. The glittery heart is punched on cardstock again, that I forgotten I had.
