a sketchy little lady

MFT is super excited to announce that Wednesday Stamp Club will now be centered around a weekly sketch. We know your stamping time is precious, and we want you to maintain as much creative freedom as possible. Sketches are the perfect starting point to a card. Use it as a blueprint, and create a card using the stamp set and supplies that strike your fancy. You can turn to the sketches time and again for creative inspiration.

A new sketch will be posted each Wednesday at midnight on the MFT blog. You'll also find the sketch in the MFT forum on SCS on Wednesday morning, as well as in the weekly newsletter. Our talented Challenge and Design Teams will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.

We encourage you all to play along, and to enter your card in the weekly draw for a $15 gift voucher to the MFT Boutique. Simply follow the sketch and create a card or other paper creation. You may use any stamps and supplies that you wish. Each week, a keyword is assigned to the sketch. All you need to do to enter, is upload your card to the gallery at SCS, and enter the given keyword in the keyword box, during the upload process. After the deadline, we randomly choose a winner from that week's entries and the winner will receive a $15 gift voucher. If the winning card uses MFT stamps, the participant will earn a $5 bonus, for a total of a $20 gift voucher! That is up to $100 per month in prizes, JUST for playing along. We hope you'll join us in 2011.


I love love love sketch challenges, so I'm all about this new Wednesday Stamp Club format, it is really easier than ever to play along, and I really do hope you'll join us!

So, a quick chat about my card? I was in my LSS the other day, and looking at all the gorgeous Christmas papers they had, and then decided, that this red and chocolate paper from Echo Park would be a fabulous, albeit non-traditional Valentine color right? And I hadn't had a chance to ink up the new Pure Innocence Ladybug...


To fit along with the sketch, I put together my Jumbo Scallop Die-namics along with a felted Scalloped Scallops Die-namic, I really love how those two look together.

I can't wait to see how this sketch will inspire you, this big open oval is perfect for SO many stamps in your collection. Please say you'll join us for our sketch challenge this week! I'll see you on the MFT Forum!
