Life is about creating yourself ~ SOUS Blog Hop



WELCOME TO STUCK ON U SKETCHES 100th SKETCH BLOG HOP
Hi everyone and happy Friday!!!!!


I'm so glad to see you today because over at Stuck On U Sketches we are having a "mile marker" event!!
Today's post marks our 100th sketch!
And here it is created by Co-Leader Leah Schaeffer .....


And to celebrate in a big way we have put together this awesome BLOG HOP and invited our entire Design Team to join in this weeks sketch challenge!  

Now you should have arrived here from our very talented Holly Hudspeth's blog... and if you didn't you will want to head on over to Stuck On U Sketches and get all of the yummy details....

We've also changed it up a bit for the Blog Hop only, whereas you can either do a layout and/or a card using this sketch!!

Here are a few close ups of my layout I created using the sketch...

TOP LEFT--Distressed edges and fussy cut birdcages and lilies...


TOP RIGHT---Distressed edges, Bird chipboard, Martha Stewart Punched Strip, Lace/Ribbon with Rhinestones..


BOTTOM RIGHT--Distressed Edges, Rhinestones and Pearls..  and my beautiful GD Savannah...


BOTTOM LEFT--Distressed Edges, Pearls, Vellum Envelope with Decorative Brad and Decorative Stickers..

Stuck On U Sketch sponsors providing prizes for the hop are:
Lisa Norris of Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons
Regina Easter of The Cutting Cafe
 Stephanie of Whimsical Designs

SOUS will be drawing 3 lucky winners on Friday, Feb 8th, for the prizes they are giving away. 

I am also giving away a  RAK to one lucky person...


  I just have a couple requirements...
1)  Leave me a comment....
2) Be sure you are following me...

The winners of all prizes... SOUS and my RAK will be drawn on Friday, Feb. 8th..

  The winner of my RAK will have until Feb. 13th to contact me with their address..

We hope that you can play along with us this week ~ We would love to see your interpretation of our sketch.

WOW was that a mouthful or in this instance a page full!!!:o)
