Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 160

Good morning - It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Here is the deal: make a card with this layout and use the InLinkz button down at the very end of this post to enter your card. The links will close in two weeks, next Friday at 10 PM (Mountain Time). Be sure to link directly to the blog post or gallery image which features your card. You may post a picture of the sketch on your blog, but please save the image to your computer first. Use the keyword SSSC160 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

WANT TO BE A GUEST Sweet Sunday Stamper?  I'll be picking my favorite card or project after each challenge and that winner will have a special guest spot as a designer on a future Sweet Sunday Challenge.  I'm SO excited about this!  You can enter as many different cards as you'd like before the following Friday deadline, so get stampy!

I will be announcing the next Guest Sweet Sunday Stamper later this week, so be sure to check back to see if you will be joining the design team for SSSC161!

I didn't have a chance to showcase the second fabulous á la mode set that is releasing this month from My Favorite Things, so I am using it for my SSSC card because it's just too cute to keep uninked!  This is Go for Gold.

The Summer Olympics are getting close and this little sweetie is all set!  I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black on a Rectangle STAX Die-namics and then colored her with Copic markers.  I used the Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics for the flag accent and then I stamped the sentiment on the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics.  Instead of flowers from the sketch, I used the Stacking Stars Die-namics in Sno Cone and Wild Cherry cardstock.

I used the same Blossom Soup 6x6 papers from Jillybean Soup on the inside of my card and then stamped the sentiment and accented it with more Stacking Stars Die-namics.

Sadly, this is Jen Tapler's last week with us and I really will miss her and all of her complaints about titled panels.  Dang, I should have planned this out better and made this sketch all sorts of crazy tilted!  But, really, I will miss her and her fun, dry humor and fantastic cards for boys.  Please stop by Jen's blog and give her a bit send-off.  We sure will miss her around here!
