The Studio

To inspire you along your way, we have a great sketch designed for us by the super talented Anna Bowkis - founder of Pencil Lines. Each member of The Studio DT has created a project based on this sketch:

Here's the layout I created with this sketch:

some close ups:

materials: patterned paper: Sassafras Lass, American Crafts, Studio Calico; flowers: Prima; butterflies: Jenni Bowlin; tape: Pink Paislee; stickers, date cards: Sassafras Lass; buttons: Maya Road; pin: Tim Holtz; letters: American Crafts, Jenni Bowlin

We'd love to see your take on this sketch, too. (Link em' up in the comments at The Studio blog.) The  main prize at The Studio is sponsored by Scrap With V. In order to be entered for the main prize you will need to become a follower (if you aren't already) and leave a comment on all the blogs along the way. There will also be some other prizes along the way...like this one, for instance, offered by moi!

This lovely & bountiful stash of Littlle Yellow Bicyle goodies (that's Fresh Print Clothesline, to be exact) can be yours simply by leaving a comment here today! There are about 12 sheets of double-sided 12 x 12 patterned cardstock in that pile, along with a substantial collection of the coordinating product.

So leave a comment and hop on! The Blog Hop starts today and runs through Monday, March 7th.

Make sure you check back on Tuesday to see if you won my RAK! (I just updated the drawing date from Sunday to Tuesday to coincide with the blog hop timing.)
Thanks for stopping by and good luck - your next stop is Brenda!
