Bombshell Stamps ~ Muse Monday.

Welcome to June's Week 1 of Bombshell Stamps Muse Monday. As you probably know, each month Alison chooses a different Bombshell Stamps set to be featured here on the blog. And each Monday, different members of the Design Team feature projects using the chosen set. By the end of the month, you will have lots of fabulous ideas and inspiration for that set!  Plus, the featured collection will be on sale for the entire month! How fabulous is that?! This month's set is Mermaid Anchor.


Isn't she a beauty? And I love the dolphins that come in the set.
 Here are a couple of makes I have made using the set!

Bombshell May Hump Day ~ Banner's!


 It's the last Wednesday of the month, so you know what that means. It's time for the Bombshell Stamps Hump Day Hop! This month, Alison chose the theme "Banners." Many of the Bombshell sets come with banners, or, the participants could have made their own. They could have even made a banner for their project. So without any further adieu, I give you....the hop list. Please be sure to stop by and say hello to everyone!

I've made these cool fridge magnets using stamps from the Bombshell Angel Stamp Set.

Sketch Saturday DT Call..

Would you like to be a Saturday Girl?.... or maybe a Saturday Boy?

We are looking for some new design team members to join the team at Sketch Saturday! :)

What is required:

You MUST have your own personal blog and be prepared to post each week.

You must be able to make a card each week, and upload it before 6pm (UK time) on the Friday before the challenge goes live.

You will get the sketches well in advance, so you will have plenty of time to create.
You can use any craft materials you like to make your DT work (except copyright protected images of course),

The only 'rule' is that you stick as close as possible to the sketch, but of course artisitc licence plays a part and is welcomed, you don't have to be 'spot on' but the sketch design needs to be recognised within your work.
You must post about our challenge on your own b:log each week, leaving links to SS and to our sponsors on all posts.

You must be prepared to leave comments for challengers, currently 1 challenger in every 10, although you are of course allowed to leave comments for more should you have the time to do so.

You will be expected to take a turn hosting a DT week. DT weeks are the first Saturday of each month, when it's your turn, we want you to make your own sketch for the challenge, arrange a sponsor, and arrange the guest designer (GD) too. You will be expected to type up the post for this week. DT week is only for one week, but your GD will be with us for the whole month, so would be expected to make a card for each Saturday in the month that you are DT host. You are responsible for uploading your GD's cards each week before the deadline. You must also type up the winners post the following week after your DT week, and arrange for your winner to receive their prize from your sponsor.

Sketch Saturday is a challenge blog like any other, and we are happy for our DT to be members of other challenge blog DTs too.
We expect ALL of our DT members to treat SS with the same respect as others.

If you are currently on other DTs then please apply to join us if you want to be a part of our team too, however, if it is going to be a problem for you to make a card for us if you have deadlines and/or rules from other DTs to keep to, then please do not apply if there is a possibilty that SS could be pushed to one side so that you can make your card for another challenge blog instead.
It's only fair to the other SS DT members.
Saying that, real life has a habit of getting in the way sometimes, and if you need time out from all crafting for a while, that's no problem, we will cover your commenting while you take a break.

If you would like to join Sketch Saturday, please email myself (Susie) at susielittle@ymail.com
with THREE of what you consider to be your favourite card/projects to date as well as telling us a little bit about you as a crafter.
Please don't send just photos, we need to see the individual BLOG POSTS but no more than 3 please.
DO NOT just give us your blog address, we can look through your blogs anyway, we only want specific blog posts please.
Please ensure your email has SSDT in the subject line to ensure our application doesn't get lost in spam.
Deadline for applications is 24th May 2013, if selected you will be notified by nd 1st June 2013, and we would like you to make your first DT card/project for challenge #263 - 15th June 2013.
We look forward to receiving your emails! :)
