Now let's get started with the challenge, here is your sketch....


As always we have a guest designer joining us. Please help us welcome Barb Prendergast to our April 15th challenge!!


I will let Barb tell you a bit about herself....

"Hello from sunny southern Colorado! My name is Barb Prendergast, and I'm really excited to be a guest designer this month here on Stuck?! Sketches. I'm a former journalist and public relations manager. My husband Mike and I both grew up in central Illinois, but we retired to Pueblo, Colorado in 2015. We have four grown children and nine grandchildren. Our family, pets and new surroundings give me plenty of scrapworthy subjects.

I started scrapbooking in 2005 when I bought my first digital camera and found the scrapbook section at Joann's at about the same time. My “style” varies, but my favorite layouts are those with lots of layers, bright colors and details. Almost every layout begins with a sketch because it gives me a starting point and allows me to get right to the creative process.
I have been on several sketch design teams. as well as a design team member for a local scrapbook store in Illinois. Other interests including cooking, sightseeing and spending time with my family.

I'm on social media here: blog: http://supermamascraps.blogspot.com/

Here is Barb's layout based on our sketch.


Thank you for joining us Barb we just love your page!

Now lets have a look at our gorgeous DT reveals (in alphabetical order!)....

April 1 2017 Challenge Featured Layout #2

Today we're featuring another layout based on our April 1st sketch. But before we show you today's inspiration, we want to recognize our sponsors for this challenge.

A big thank you goes out to Creative Embellishments for sponsoring this challenge with a $25.00 gift certificate to their online shop for one lucky participant.

 Creative Embellishments is a new family owned company that was created by Michael and Nicolle Kramer. We are a husband and wife team who design and manufacture unique, high quality chipboard, wood and rubber stamp products. It is our mission is to offer fun and inspiring products to bring out your inner creativity that you can add to any project. In the near future we will be expanding into other mediums such as rubber/acrylic stamps and acrylic embellishments.

AND thank you to Lindy's Stamp Gang, who is sponsoring this challenge with a $25.00 gift certificate to their online shop for a second lucky participant.

Lindy's luscious luster is all uniquely two-toned! With vibrant shimmery sprays, flat sprays, vintage sprays, embossing powder and lots more! Lindy’s Stamp Gang is the creative” baby” of Lindy Plakinger. She passed away in 2008 after bravely battling illness. She was a self-made cartoonist, loved drawing, crafting, designing new products, and creating her funny cartoon characters! One of her greatest joys was traveling to stamping and scrapbooking conventions across the US, demo-ing to her heart’s content with her sister, and giggle partner, Vicki! Lindy’s Stamp Gang will continue, as was her hope, and dream. Her husband and daughter have taken over the company keeping her creativity alive. Tracey, (her daughter), has always been a “jar filler” in the background of Lindy’s Stamp Gang, but is now trying to fill some incredible shoes! 
For more Lindy’s Stamp Gang please visit: 

Lillesmor is our featured artist today. We love how the lace-trimmed heart and fussy-cut flowers encircle those sweet photos.


We are so glad you joined us, Lillesmor. Please grab our "featured" button below and wear it on your blog.
