Party challenges!!!

Party time at the Outlawz!!!!
This weeks special post is from Emily!!!

Hi everyone, on behalf of Sandra, Trina, Pat, Margaret, Lisbeth, Darcy and myself, I want to welcome you all to this week’s challenge!

Thanks to everyone who entered our sketch challenge last week, the entries were all beautiful. We’re looking forward to seeing you join in the fun this week and how you interpret this week's sketch.
Remember you can create anything, a card, tag, scrap page, as long as the sketch is your inspiration. You can also flip, rotate and resize the sketch so long as we can recognise it.

This month’s sponsor is Polkadoodles, our winner will receive three of the digis used by the DT.
And because it is party time here at the Outlawz we have three additional sponsors and prizes to be won!!

A $15 gift certificate from Deedee's Digis

2x $10 gift certificates from Little Blue Button Stamps

A $15 gift certificate from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons

Here’s this week’s fabulous sketch, which has been made with digital kits from Touched by a butterfly.

Now here’s some inspiration from the awesome sketch DT.

has used the cute Geeky Girl and lovely warm autumnal tones for her simply delightful card.

Check out the awesome paper on Margaret’s card featuring Halloween Witch. I just love the colour combination Margaret has used too.

Pat

has used Star Stroll on her gorgeous Christmas card with a perfect set of red bows to match the pop of red on the coloured image.

has used the sweet Puppy Love image to make an equally sweet card, showing how effective a two tone colour scheme can be when the right patterns and textures are used.

Emily

I’ve used the beautiful Angel on my card to make a Christmas card, my first for the year.

Now hopefully we’ve inspired you as we would love to see what you create with this sketch!

Also, there's an extra sketch challenge as part of the party celebrations, check out the party tab for all the details.
