It's time for a new sketch challenge here!  But first let's chat about the sponsor for this challenge.  A big thank you goes out to Words or Whatever!

WOW is 100% Fair Dinkum Australian owned and run manufacturer and wholesaler of Laser Cut Chipboard, Acrylic and MDF products.
They have been operating from the beautiful Central Coast of NSW since 2009 with over 3000 designs to choose from. They offer a customized order service as well as offering exclusive designs for retailers.
They take pride in providing quality wholesale products at an affordable price as well as offering good old fashioned honest customer service and quick turn around of orders.

 Words or Whatever is offering the winner of the September 15th, 2013 sketch challenge 10 pieces of chipboard of your choice!  All prizes will be drawn randomly using Random.org to pick a number.

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


This week we have something fun to share with you!  Occasionally we will be have a guest designer join us, and this week we have Tabitha Triplett joining us.



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

"My name is Tabitha Triplett,  Mom to 3 boys 19, 16, & almost 15, married to my best friend, living in a small Texas town. I started scrapping in 1996, I create digital, traditional, and hybrid. I am self employed and do a little of everything including photography and graphic design on the side. I am currently on the Let's Get Sketchy & Colorful Creations sketch team, and 2 Broke Girls Scrap Design Team. Thanks so much for having me as a guest designer, fabulous sketch to play with! "


And here is Tabitha's incredible take on the sketch.....


Now lets have a look at our superbly talented DT's reveals....





Please link up your entries over in the sidebar by September 30th at Midnight to be in the running for this voucher!   All prizes will be drawn randomly using Random.org to pick a number.

When linking your entries, please make sure it is linked to the specific post your layout is in, not your blog as a whole as it can be hard later in the month to find your layout, especially if you blog often. You can also link from any gallery including Facebook and Flickr.

Feel free to combine this sketch challenge with no more than one other non-sketch challenge, such as a colour challenge.

Thank you for visiting, we cannot wait to see what you create!
