SCS Sketch Challenge

I have one more week as a sample maker for the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge.  Today's sketch was pretty simple -- a circle inside a square.  I had bought a set of Spellbinders arrows (called Shoot) about a month or so ago, and I thought I could make an archery target out of the circle element and use one of the arrows.  I stamped the "Happy Birthday" on my card, but computer-generated the "You Hit the Mark" sentiment at the bottom.

It's Christmas Eve, so I will with you all a Merry Christmas!

Tutorial Time - Stencils and Colored Pencils

The Tutorial Time challenge on Speedy TV today is Stenciling with Colored Pencils.  I have used stencils before -- but usually with distress ink and sponges, never with colored pencils.  Barbie Dobson wrote our tutorial for today.  I used a Tim Holtz stencil and a sentiment from MFP Out of Time mini set for my card.

Check out the Challenge post on Speedy TV and see how the rest of the team handled this challenge.  If you'd like to play along with us, you might win a free stamp set.
