YAY!!

I am so excited to be hosting the first challenge of 2012.

I'm also very nervous, as I've never EVA made a sketch all by my lonesome before!! So bare with me & the fact that in all my fluster-ness (is that even a word), I spelled my own name wrong on the sketch watermark! BWWahhhaa!!

Anywho, here's my sketch.
Lots of layering goodness or "omg-oodness"....depending on how you look at it!

If you are interested in any of these - all text and fonts can be changed to what you like. And if you have your own design you want to be turned into a stamp we´re happy to make it for you! Even if there is only Germany listed as shipping destination we´re happy to ship worldwide. Just send us a mail."

# 3 - Kate

#17 - Katie, and

#40 - Corry

Well done ladies! Please feel free to grab your Top 3 badge from the sidebar!

There may be some confusion due to one of our DT members owning a stamp store of a similar name however Pink Ink Sketch Challenges is not related in anyway. The name Pink Ink was born from our love of stamping and the colour pink. Nothing more :)

If you have any questions or wish to seek clarification on this matter, please email us at pinkinksketches@hotmail.com.

Thank you so much for playing along with us! We would love you to enter our current challenge..... HERE... Kellie has done a wonderful sketch, we would love to see what you do with it! There will also be a new challenge posted on Saturday August 6th so make sure you check back then to join us!

Welcome to Pink {INK} Sketch Challenges - let the countdown begin!

2011-06-28T21:32:00.001+10:00

Hello! We are so excited to welcome you to our new and exciting sketch challenge blog:

On Saturday 9 July we will kick of this amazing new adventure with our first challenge. Each fortnight we will post a new sketch challenge for you to play along with and some fantastic sponsors as well.

We would love to see what you create for using our sketch each fortnight. All crafty creations are welcome, be it a card, a scrapbook layout, an off the page creation - whatever you can come up with, just use the sketch and be crafty!

We would be thrilled if you would grab our badge for your blogs and link back here.

The Design Team is working hard behind the scenes so that our first challenge on Saturday 9 July will be full of amazing inspiration for you.
But before then, please allow us to introduce ourselves to you...

The countdown is ON! See you back here on the 9th!
