Just Us Girls #36 - Sketch Challenge and New Design Team Members

Hi everyone! Lisa here with LOTS to tell you today. First of all, we want to thank ALL the entries for our DT call! They were amazing and it took us a while to decide who would be joining us. In the end we decided to add TWO new members! Please welcome

Kathryn Berthiaume

and

Andrea Matthews.

They both have been loyal JUGS followers and their entries were fabulous! I'm sure you will enjoy their creations as much as we did! Welcome to our JUGS team, girls!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now for this week's challenge. We have a new sketch for you as well as a sponsor. Our sponsor this week is a digital stamp company called *Wink *Wink Ink.

Here's what the owner, Melanie, had to say about the company:

*Wink *Wink Ink is a brand new digital stamp company as of January 2010. Our images are original, well drawn, and clear with a style you won't find anywhere else! If you like animals, children and fantasy creatures you will love our stamps! New stamps are added to our store weekly, so there is always something new to see! All images are 300 dpi and come in 3 versions- black and white jpg for coloring, transparent png for layering on all your digital creations, and a colored jpg for use as a coloring guide or print and embellish for quick beautiful projects in no time flat! We hope you stop on by and visit us soon at *Wink *Wink Ink!

They will be giving away 3 free images to one randomly chosen entry! They also have a freebie that you can get here if you want to use it for your entry (although it's not required). It's a darling image! So why not play? Also here is their badge that you can display on your blogs.

And here is the sketch I came up with for you to use this week.

Now how about some inspiration from the JUGs Design Team?

Chic of the week #35

All I have to say is HOLY COW!!! 118 entries to look through. I just spent the last hour pulling up everyone's creations and there were so many fabulous ones! THANKS so much for playing along. Amazingly enough, Jo is the Chic of the week again this week. I honestly didn't know that until I went to write this post! GO JO!!!

I just loved how she used so many layers of the embossing.

Thanks again for the great turnout this week for the "Wild Card Embossing Challenge". Hope all of you will return for more fun this weekend with a fabulous sketch from Lisa!
