It's the JUGs inaugural sketch!

Two bloggers extremely high on my personal inspiration list have begun a sketch challenge. Really, if you don't know these two, please check them out: Kristin Bueter and Stampin' Pam. Their artwork will impress you every time, they have post frequently and they're incredibly nice. So how can we NOT join their challenge? I promise you'll be glad you did! Here's the first sketch ever for the JUGs challenge



Decisions don't come easily to me so if I can limit my options when designing it's usually a good thing. This time I created the card for the JUGs challenge using the Color Throwdown

Here's my card:
t
I made an editorial change by using a circle instead of an oval. I'm one of the very few remaining souls on earth without an elaborate die cut system of any sort and just couldn't get my oval cutter to cooperate. The papers are from Die Cut With A View's Indian Summer line. The stamps are Hampton Art. The little brads are from the dollar section at Target last year and the ribbons are from that mess of a basket I have. I think the little squirrel honestly looks like he's asleep or meditating!

  2. OMG, Linda! I'm laughing about your squirrel comment. I think he looks like he's praying :O) LOL

    THANK YOU for the kind remarks about me (and Pam)! You are such a sweetheart! AND you are promoting our challenge which is SO sweet! We are continuing with the challenge on Saturdays, so I hope to see you again this weekend! My post will direct you to the blog we are almost finished creating (unless something goes awry). We're very excited and are so thrilled that amazingly creative people like you are already playing along!

    Awesome card, my friend! I love that little bow on top of the button...soooo cute (and right up my ally). The patterned paper is scrumptious and PERFECT for the CTD challenge! Great job on both challenges!! Though my CTD month as Guest Designer is over, I WILL be back each week to play along, so I'll see you hopefully for both challenges! Thanks for playing along :O)

  3. Linda this is just stinkin' cute! I love that "sleeping" squirrel and what a wowza job you did with the color challenge too. Thanks SO much for your sweet comments and for promoting our new venture. We're glad to have you playing along - watch for more details as they come available. :-)

    The іsѕue is I am not сertain

    I know that І want more of a weblog feel than a intеrnet ѕite feel, if that tends to make anу ѕense.
    I would like to haѵe the аbility to uρdate my web-sitе wіth blog
    posts. Wοulԁ you bе able to give a few аdvantagеs and disаdvantages foг gоing with
    either Bloggeг or Live jouгnal? I гeаlly want to comе tο a chоice relatively swiftly on this matter, cause dоesn't make sense for me to own this studio without having a web page. It would be kind if you can provide me some suggestions. Please write to: aaron_roberts@gmail.com if you have some spare time. Thank you, and by the way very good site, i prefer my blog to be like yours one day!

  14. ӏ'm seriously getting tired of every trackback spam that my site is getting. There's a mіlliοn
    plugins іt seеms, аnd I haνе no iԁea whісh one would
    be good foг me, or even іf І've come across all of the plugins that will help me get rid of this. So quick question - what plugin do you advise to get rid of trackback spam? I still want to collect comments, but this other stuff is driving me nuts.

  15. Have you ever considered аbout adding a lіttle bit morе than just
    your artiсleѕ? I mеаn, what you say is іmportant and all.
    But imagine if you adԁed some gгeаt pictuгes оr vіdeo clips to

    Your content іs eхcellent but wіth рiсs anԁ clipѕ,

  21. First of all I want to sау fаntaѕtic
    blοg! I had a quicκ questіon in which
    I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Many thanks!
