Our Creative Corner - Sketch Challenge

Hello OCC Friends! We would like to thank all those that played along in last week's Triple Play challenge, your samples were so wonderful and full of embellishments!! Before we start with the challenge, we would like to announce the winner for the $25 Gift Certificate to A Touch of Grace -Paper Boutique. Congratulations to Heather Dennis, check out her blog: Heather's Coffee Break. Please email us your address so we can get your goodies out to you. Thank you to Jerri Jimenez for sponsoring the Gift Certificate to her store and sharing her wonderful art with us as last week's guest stamper.

This week our July hostess, Jenny Gropp, has challenged the OCC to create a card or project using the provided sketch. There is no time limit on our challenges - feel free to participate whenever you are able. To play along, upload your creation to your blog or gallery, then leave us a comment linking to your project so we can check it out. If you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword: OCCC.

This week as a treat for playing in the Challenge, we have a $25 gift certificate up for grabs from Impression Obsession that will be awarded to someone that joins in this week's challenge. And just to let you know Impression Obsession will have all new Fall and Holiday images on the IO store web site starting August 1st.... just in time for the winner to get some brand new rubber!

We also have a guest designer with us this week. Please welcome the very talented Kecia Hicks, with her totally adorable card above! You can find more of Kecia's super designs on her blog Stamping Deets . Thanks Kecia for joining us for this week's sketch challenge!

I just linked - hopefully it worked because I've never done this before. I made a very literal copy of the "Just bee-cause" card, because I didn't scroll down before making my card to see that you could take some artistic license! Oh well... It was fun and I'll try to get more creative next time. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
