Happy Birthday SS!

Wooohoooo! We are celebrating our 3rd birthday!

It's been 3 years since I started Sketch Saturday and what a fun 3 years it's been too :)

I've had the pleasure of getting to know loads of friends while blogging, especially my talented and supportive friends on the SS design team (past & present), our wonderful & equally talented guest designers, our awesome and very generous sponsors, and of course our talented SS challengers! Thank you to you all xx

On Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th of June, The Craft Barn are hosting their June Extravaganza weekend with FREE craft demos from 24 demonstrators, with a theme of 'The Best of British' featuring designers and demonstrators from the UK and wherever possible promoting products manufactured in the UK. What a wonderful weekend that will be, to find out more please CLICK HERE.

This week, to help us celebrate our birthday, our fabulous friends over at The Craft Barn are offering a goody bag with contents to the value of £50..... WOW!!!

Sandy, Thank you so much! xx

Like previous years, we are offering our SS friends the chance to win a Party Bag Candy too :)

It's really easy to be in with a chance of winning a PBC, to enter, all you have to do is take part in the main SS challenge and leave your entry with Mr Linky as you would normally, (new work/direct link to your work only please)

Once you've done that, please leave the same link on the blog of the DT member who's PBC you'd like to win.

So not only will you have a chance to win a truly amazing prize by The Craft Barn  but you'll also have a chance to win more goodies on offer from the design team :) YAY!

See? told you it was easy! :)

To keep it fair, there are a few rules that apply:

You are only eligible to enter each DT members party bag candy once, and ONLY if you've already taken part in this weeks challenge too (please leave the direct link to your work for each PBC you enter)

We want to thank sketch saturday challengers so this is why it's only open to SS entrants!

(we will be checking! and all entries that are not eligible will be deleted)

Each PBC will close on the DT members blogs at 8:00 AM (UK time) on Friday 3rd June, please note: FRIDAY MORNING. No entries will be accepted after this time, sorry.

This is so that the DT members can let me know their winner's name so that I can get the post ready for the following morning to announce the winners on the Sketch Saturday blog :)

However, the normal Sketch Saturday challenge (to win that amazing £50 goody bag) will run until 11:59PM on the Friday evening as normal, so if you are too late for a PBC you could still win that super-amazing prize!

Would you like to see my PBC?

well I can't show you a pic of the contents (that's a surprise) but I will show you the box that I have made, using this weeks sketch design...

My Party Bag Candy is actually a Party BOX Candy :)

I didn't use a template, I worked out the sizes I needed to make the top and bottom parts of the box after measuring the size of the stash I have put inside it.

The pretty patterned paper is from Stampin Up (sweet always) and the gorgeous image on the front flap is by LOTV, coloured with promarkers. The flap lifts to reveal an acetate window which shows a glimpse of the candy within the box.

So if you would like to win this box and its contents, please enter the main SS challenge and then leave your direct link here too.

Good luck everyone! xx

PBC winner...

Thank you to everyone who entered the draw to win my PBC and thank you for your sweet comments too :)
To find a full list of winners please visit Sketch Saturday, and while you are there you will see this weeks challenge (goes live in 10 minutes time at 8am)

So here we go... the winner of my PBC is...

Uma! (A sense of Uma)

Congratulations!
Please EMAIL ME your full postal address so that I can post out the PBC to you.
I hope you like the goodies that are inside! :)

PLEASE NOTE: you are only eligible to enter each DT members party bag candy once, and ONLY if you've already taken part in this weeks challenge too (please provide a link to your work in your comment on each DT members blog that you visit)

Each Party Bag Candy will close on the DT members blogs at 8:00 AM (UK time) on Friday 4th June, please note: FRIDAY MORNING. No entries will be accepted after this time, sorry.

However, the normal SS challenge (open to all who leave a link on the main SS blog) will run until 11:59PM UK time on the Friday evening as normal

The sketch is the same obviously, so make your card/project & then leave a link on the main SS blog so you are eligible to win this weeks prize kindly donated by The Craft Barn, then, if you want to be entered into the party bag candy too with the chance to win an extra prize, leave the same link on the blog of each DT member too, if they use mr linky or inlinkz then please use that, if not then please leave a direct link to your work in their comments box.
If your entry can't be found easily then you could miss out on winning, so please do try to leave a direct link, thanks :)

Here is my PBC, it's a wallet,
but i'm not telling you what's inside, that's a surprise for the winner :)

I've used my lovely SU Tea Party papers again :)
The base cardstock is So Saffron, I've also used some Pretty in Pink & Certainly Celery cardstock too the lightest pink card is just a scrap piece (not SU)
I used my eyelet border punch to make the scalloped edge, my boho blossoms punch to make the flowers (I used just the smallest flower on the punch)
and the image is from SU's 'A flower for all seasons' stamp set.
I wrote 'For You' by hand underneath the image.

I hope you will join in with us this week! Not only could you win the main prize by The Craft Barn, but you could also win one of the PBC's made by the DT!
Just remember to leave a direct link to your own work to be eligible to win :)
Good Luck! xx
