AND thank you to May Arts Ribbon, who are also sponsoring this challenge, offering 2 Spools of their gorgeous ribbon, winners choice, to a second lucky participant!

May Arts was founded in the early 1980’s in Riverside, Connecticut. The original products were high-end silk flowers imported from Taiwan, which were decorated using quality ribbons. The decorative ribbons proved so popular among customers that the business gradually evolved into a dedicated ribbon wholesaler.
As a family-owned and operated business, May Arts began a long-standing tradition of qualityaffordability and exceptional customer service. We are dedicated to carrying on this same tradition by offering high quality products at competitive prices. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff is always happy to answer your questions or to assist you in placing your order.

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



This week we have another guest designer joining us. Please join me in welcoming Debbie Piercy!!


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

"Hi, I'm Debbie. I am happy to be a Guest Designer at Stuck? today. I have been scrapbooking for about 15 years, and it's always been a form of therapy for me. I love playing with paper and glue and making something pretty with it. Telling the stories about our family is also a priority. I loved working with Laura's sketch and am grateful to share my work with you. I can't wait to see what you all create!"

Here is Debbie's layout based on our sketch.


Thank you for joining us and sharing your talent, Debbie!
Now lets have a look at our gorgeous DT reveals (in alphabetical order!)....

January 1st Reveal

Hello there!

Happy 2014 friends! It's time for a new sketch challenge!  But first let's chat about the sponsors for this challenge.  A big thank you goes out to ScrapMatts and Frosted Designs, for sponsoring our January 1st challenge, that means two lucky participants, in this challenge, are getting a prize!

ScrapMatts is a place to learn, share ideas and view some great design concepts, while offering Australian Made, Laser Cut Chipboard, original shapes and designs, made to compliment your scrapbooking pages or your card making projects. One lucky winner will receive two large pieces of chipboard that have a $20.00 value.

The Frosted Designs Kits are getting a make over! We are taking the best of our Scrapbooking Kit and combining it with the best from our Mixed Media Paper kit to create a kit that meets the needs of all creative people!  Each kit will contain the items in the Main Kit. You then get to customize your kit  with one of two options. The "Clean Fun" option includes more paper and embellishments. The "Messy Fun" option will include items to help you get messy like inks and stencils. You can choose to have “Clean Fun” or “Messy Fun”... the choice is yours!! One lucky winner will win the "Love is in the Air" kit! 

Frosted Designs is joining us for this challenge!  They are asking us to use ink, mist or paint on our layouts and if you do you can link up to both challenges for a chance at a prize from both sites!  We are going to treat you all and share the Frosted Design DT layouts here next week, so stay tuned for that!

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

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

"Hi, I'm Chelsea and I am excited to be a guest designer at Stuck? this month!  I began modern day scrapbooking around 11 years ago and have just recently gotten more involved in the online scrappy world and I'm loving it.  Scrapbooking allows me to have an outlet from the rest of my hectic life!  My husband and I have a one year old daughter, she keeps us very busy!  I am a physical therapist, currently working part-time.  We also love to travel and I enjoy most forms of exercise." 

Here is Chelsea's layout based on our sketch.


Thank you for joining us Chelsea!
