Fab Friday 03

Hi stampers!  It's finally Friday!  Time for another challenge! But first we'd like to thank all those that played along in our color challenge!  We know it was a doozy but all of the entries were great!

We also need to mention commenting and word verification. Please make sure you go into your settings and turn OFF word verification.  With the challenge site being so popular we spend a great deal of time commenting and having to try to figure out what those letters are is not only frustrating but time consuming too.  It is possible to moderate comments without using verification and you can also report spam very easily.  Please note that we may not comment on blogs that use word verification.

Ok, now onto the fun stuff!

This week's challenge is another clean and simple sketch.

Let's see what the design team came up with:

Mindy Backes

Cindy Beach

Jason Casper

(Taking a break this week)

Amanda Mertz

Brenda Myers

Marla Reed

Pam Steckman

Jan Tinklenberg

Wendy Weixler

Now it's your turn!  All you have to do it make a project, blog about it or post it to a public gallery and link it up to our site using the linky tool.  We do ask that you:

1.  Enter your project in no more than two other challenges.
2.  Link back to the Fab Friday site in your post.
3.  Display our challenge logo on your post (this is the sketch or colors).

And although we are Stampin' Up demonstrators you may use any brand(s) of product you choose. 

The challenge will close at 8am on October 11th.  Our Fab Faves will be announced on October 12th as well as a new challenge so make sure to check back!

Happy stamping!

Hi stampers!  I'll say it again, WOW!  We were blown away by the number of participants we had at our first challenge!  And all of the entries were FABULOUS!  Wasn't it a fun sketch?

This week we have a color challenge for you.  I have to admit when I looked at this again the other day to make my project I thought it might be a little boring but as you can see by the fabulous samples from the DT it is anything but!  It's soft and simple and really pretty!  Check it out:

Does it look familiar?  It should, the colors were pulled from our sketch challenge layout!  Inspiration is everywhere!  And now check out all the fabulousness the DT came up with:
