Sketch Challenge sponsored by Stitchy Bears

This week we have a sketch challenge for you.


Remember that the sketch is for inspiration, you can veer away from it as much as you like, as long as you retain the basic essence. Flip it, rotate it, miss bits out..... just make sure you use a forever friends image in your creation.

This challenge is sponsored by Stitchy Bears

"Hi my name is Stitchy and I am Co-Owner of Stitchy Bear Stamps...we started this store April 1st, No Fooling haha..I live in upstate New York with my husband and two TEENAGE adults haha, I do say that loosely as they think they run the show here, NOT...

I been creating stamps for a little less than a year now and I am totally addicted to the craft..I started about 4 years ago making digital scraps and I knew there was much more out there, so a friend of mine introduced me to digital stamps...and the rest they say is history...I look forward to seeing all the beautiful creations come through...good luck everyone..stitchy xoxox"

One randomly selected winner will win a $10 voucher for the stitchy bears digital shop.

...now a little note from me, Joanne
It is with much regret that I have decided that this will be no longer be part of the Forever Friends Design team. This is my last challenge, although I may pop up over the next couple of months as a guest as I have received some lovely sponsorship gifts that I fully intend to use. It's been a wonderful team to be on, and I've really enjoyed it, but sometimes something has to give, However I am handing over to the wonderfully capable Sande, to take over the running.

Thank you to everyone who has ever been on the forever friends DT or who has taken part in the challenges.
Joanne

The Stars sponsored by Di's Digi Downloads

We have another new sponsor this week: Di's Digi Downloads
with a few words about the company:

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people. I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

The design team were sent some lovely images to play with alongside their forever friends images.
One lucky randomly selected winner this weekm will win their choice of five images.
To be eligible you must use a forever friends image with the theme "stars"

Here's what the design team did:
