Get Sketchy! Our Go-to Sketches Week Challenge!

Who's ready to get sketchy?


In honor of Go-to Sketches Week both here in the Moxie Fab World and on Paper Crafts Connection--we thought it only appropriate that we host a challenge!

Give a warm welcome to our host--my personal favie sketch from the entire issue--Sketch #28, by Paper Crafts Go-to Gal, Kim Kesti:

Isn't that such a fun sketch? I mean, think of all you can do with that moxie fab speech bubble!

"Speaking" of which, here are the projects we published that used this fun sketch:

You Rock Card by Ryann Salamon, p. 94

Moxie Fab Alert: Punny! Punny! Punny! Need I "say" more? Oh yeah, and hip. This card is definitely hip.

Really Ruff You Card by Laura O'Donnell, p. 95

Moxie Fab Alert: These silhouetted dogs from behind declaring their love for one another? Moxie fab!

Hey Chick Card by Ashley C. Newell, p. 95

Moxie Fab Alert: We loved this card so much, we decided to put it on the cover. Cute birdies, cute color scheme, cute sentiment! Fer cute!

Woof Card by Angie Tieman, p. 95

Moxie Fab Alert: This wonky dog can say "woof" to me all day long, I wouldn't even mind. I'm just sayin'.

"Sound" like fun? I can't WAIT to see what "speaks" to you do when creating with this supah fun sketch that speaks volumes!

Here's the drill:
  • Create a project (card, gift bag, tag, layout, home decor item, mini-book cover, etc.) that follows this sketch and uses it in an innovative way.
  • Upload it to your blog, click on your blog's title, copy the URL, and add it to Mr. Linky below.
  • Show the sketch on your blog and link it back to this post to encourage your readers to play along as well.
  • If you don't have a blog, upload your project to this flickr gallery, copy the URL to your project, and add it to Mr. Linky below. Make sure you set the security on your photo so that I can copy it. If I can't copy the image, I won't be able to offer it as a winning entry.
  • Upload your projects by midnight MDT on Monday, April 26.
  • The winning entries will be shown on this blog on Wednesday, April 28 and will receive an "I'm Moxie Fab" challenge winner button and a moxie fab prize.
The Go-to Sketches Week fun continues over on Paper Crafts Connection today, friends--so click on over for yet another inspiring blog post and more chances to win a copy of Go-to Sketches. Woot! Woot!

Time to get sketchy,

~Cath

PS Since we're talking challenges today, I wanted to remind you that the Picking Up the Pieces Challenge continues through Monday. If you haven't uploaded your project yet, now's the time to pick up the pieces!

I'm a long-time reader of your fabulous blog, but this is my first time actually playing along with one of your challenges - took awhile for me to finally "grow a pair" (for lack of a better phrase! LOL). Thanks for the fun sketch and tons of inspiration!
