Happy Tuesday and welcome back for our next colourQ challenge (#123)! 
I’m back home after my trip to Winter CHA! I’m so glad I got the chance to go! I met so many fantastic new friends and had loads of fun! One of the many fabulous people I met is Kim Hughes, the face behind the super-cute Paper Smooches stamps!
Here’s a picture of us at the Paper Smooches booth:

Unscripted Sketches #137

Happy Saturday and welcome back for another Unscripted Sketches challenge! I changed a few things on this week’s sketch and made this festive card:
Supplies: card base, image and sentiment stamps (Paper Smooches – Santa Paws), ink (Tsukineko Brilliance – Graphite Black), paper (Echo Park – Holly Jolly Christmas), Copic markers, cardstock, twine (Divine Twine).
I love this stamp set! I usually color my dogs grey (black doesn’t show up that well) to match my dog, Midnight, who is a black dachshund mix. I love that the dog in this set is a dachshund!
Here’s our sketch for this week (I rotated it for my card and placed the sentiment in the smaller rectangle):

I hope you’ll find time to play along with us this week! This is a very versatile sketch that can be modified for lots of different creations! 
Don’t forget to visit the rest of the Unscripted Sketches Design Team: Arielle, Billie, CherylAnn, Debbie, KathyJo, Linda, Loes, Rudlis, Sarah Kaye, and Susan to see what they’ve created with this week’s sketch!
