retrosketches #22...

Good morning! Who's ready for some fun?!? Today's my turn to post a sketch, and it was inspired by this little card. 

I am also THRILLED to announce that this week's challenge is being sponsored by an amazing stamp company, that is dear to my heart, and produces some of the FUN~est images out there.... The Alley Way Stamps!!! This week's ROCKstar will win a $20.00 gift certificate for a little shopping spree! TAWS also has some fabulous freebies you can use for your projects, but you can use any image to play along and be eligible for the prize. Coincidentally, this is also new release time over at The Alley Way Stamps, so be sure to pop over to the TAWS blog for more chances to win some stamps!

Here's my re-work using images that will be released next Tuesday!

I also have some sad news today, Jackie is stepping down to pursue some exciting opportunities! We're sad to see her go, but happy she'll still be crafting! Be sure to go wish her luck!

Here are the other DT samples, featuring images from The Alley Ways Stamps!

retrosketches #20 / ROCKstar & SHOUTouts...

Good morning! I'm obviously playing catch-up here... sorry this post is so late! Seems like things around here have been going at warp speed! (yeah, I'm kinda geek~y) Thanks so much for everyone's well wishes for my hubby - he's still hopping around on one leg, and will be out of work until September, but we're getting used to our new routines and there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel - LOL!

Anyway, thanks so much also to everyone that has played the last 2 weeks, I really appreciate you taking the time to use our sketches and play along! And I promise to do better on the commenting this week.

Without further ado, I'm happy to belatedly announce the ROCKstar from RS #20, for her fun and funky creation....

ANGIE!!!

And a BIG congrats to the gorgeous gallery of SHOUTouts....
