I wanted to participate in this week's Sketchy Thursday - and of course I did a page for the baby's 8x8 pregnancy album, here's my submission:







Made with: My Mind's Eye paper, stazon black ink and random embellishments/adhesive

I'm not sure what it is with this that I'm unhappy about.. maybe the really badly placed fake strand of pearls? beats me!

4th of July Plans..

I'm not sure I'll have any time to post crafty-goodness - It's almost the 4th of July and being married obligates you to things not normally in your weekend.. like hosting a BBQ with a guest list at least 14 people long.. how do you cook 14 peoples worth of meat you ask? I don't know yet! we'll see!

Other things on the menu:
Homemade Potato Salad
Homemade Macaroni Salad
A tossed salad
Chips (the potato sort)
Homemade Chips and salsa
Punch of some sort..
Corn on the Cob
Watermelon
HotDogs
Hamburger
Chicken

I'd also like to make it official with a red and white checkered table cloth, long table and lawn chairs.. Domestication anyone?

SketchMania Details!

SketchMania seems like it's going to be a hit so far! YAY!

Right now the designers each have a copy of the sketch, and we're Posting the first ever SketchMania sketch on Wednesday July, 7th - so be prepared to scrap! or craft! or be creative!

Our sketches are not for one thing or another. Nor are they to be followed directly! They are just a starting point; whether for cards, 8x8 or 12x12 layouts, paintings, quilt squares, prints, digital graphics.. whatever. It's up to YOU! we just want to share with our friends and see the things they come up with. We want to be creative and inspirational together.

Here are the three exceedingly creative ladies that I've invited to be designers:

AJ from http://achocolatedaily.blogspot.com/ where she scraps using products specifically sold to her by CropChocolate.com!

Rachel May from http://rachelmaydesigns.blogspot.com/ where she lets us in on the little secrets of having a happy life in the big city!

and SarahMichelle from http://polkadotdoordesign.blogspot.com/ where she shares all her gorgeous crafty goodness.

and of course (me) DeeDee who you can visit here through the rest of the tabs located at the top of the page =)

Each one of these ladies inspires me and pushes me to continually do better whether in crafting, living or loving the small things. And each of them are excited to share more with you - feel free to browse through their blogs as well as stay in touch over here for SketchMania @ UmWowStudio!

We welcome you with open arms!

SketchMania Launch!

Ok, so I've decided I'm just gonna GO FOR IT!

I'll email the sketch to my panel of designers tonight. and hopefully by this time next week we'll have our first sketch ready to go!!

HERE'S TO HOPING!!
