Laura's Sketch 18




Are you all ready because this is a big one!! It's a exciting but also a sad time at 2S4Y as we say goodbye to our current Winter Design Team and soon to welcome in our fresh Spring Team!

Being that this is the Winter Design Team last post, we wanted to take the time and thank each and everyone of our Winter DT members. Your inspiration and talent that you all displayed here at 2S4Y is unmeasurable. All of your futures hold so strong in this competitive industry, Kazan & I both wish you all the success in the world. You all truly deserve it!

Hugs & Kisses
Laura & Kazan

The Cutting Cafe' offers affordable Printable Stamps and cutting files to crafters, scrapbookers, and cardmakers. The cutting files are templates that you print out (using your home printer)
cut, assemble and then embellish! The format of the cutting files can be used on Die-Cut machines like Pazzles Inspiration and Cricut (with Scal software) and are very easy to use, versatile and fun too.

The printable stamps are just that, images that are sent to you through email that you print out using your home printer. After the images are printed out you can color them in or paper piece them like you would any other stamped image!

One of the best things we love about the Printable Stamps and Cutting Files is that we don't have to worry about finding space in our craft rooms to store them... Simply keep them in a folder on your computer to use over and over again! What a great idea Regina!

Card of the Week & The Fab5!

Thank you all for putting in such tremendous effort and talent into the gallery week after week. Your cards are all true works of Art. Laura and I have also enjoyed receiving all of your Design Team applications over the past two weeks. It has become a ritual with the two of us to get together for lunch with her laptop and pour over the entries to try and narrow it down to 6. I bet you can imagine how hard this task is just from the high standard of entries we get each week for our Gallery. We meet this afternoon and I can't wait! But first things first....

Thank you so much to our Sponsor Scor-it for providing this weeks fabulous prize and also for your awesome donations of Scor-it boards and Teressa Collins paper to the Design Team. You are an amazing company with an equally amazing product! Without further delay here is our winner of a Scor-it Mini:

Krista from Krista b Cardin found cute felt coasters at Michaels for $1 and cut them up to use on her cards. I am off to Michaels today! Thanks for the tip Krista :)

The sponsor for tomorrow is a dear friend of ours and lets just say that it is going to be one giant post with so much to see and marvel over, it will have you entertained all week :)

Kazan's Sketch 18



For project details visit my blog: Nunutoolies

I know many of you may be surprised to see my Christmas card posted mid January but with all the new and exciting things happening at 2 Sketches 4 You it does feel like Christmas! More about my card a bit later..

First I would like to wish everyone here in the U.S. a wonderful Martin Luther King Day. The significance of this Holiday has never been as profound as today because of tomorrow. Tomorrow we as a Nation and the world will witness history in the making as we welcome our new President Barak Obama.

This week Laura and I also shared our first Magazine Cover together. Our good friend and former 2 sketches 4 You Designer, Aashild Ruud, is celebrating the 5 year anniversary of her Craft Magazine: Ett trykk and 2S4Y is featured in the Magazine which hits News Stands in Norway on February 1st. We are also excited to be teaming up with Aashild's Rubber stamp company as a sponsor here at 2S4Y in the not to distant future :)


....and let us not forget this is the last week for our Spring Design Team call...we have some AMAZING sponsors lined up for the coming months and our Design Team is going to get spoiled so don't delay - send in those entries!

Now for some serious eye candy. Our Design team did a fabulous job with the sketch this week using Die-cut Paper especially designed by Teresa Collins to work with the Scor-it scoring tool. See the before and after images of these cards on the Design Team's blogs

This Weeks Sponsor for COTW:
Scor-it

The Scor-it tool is one of our favorite products to use here at 2 Sketches 4 You. This time they have teamed up with the fabulous Teresa Collins to bring us die-cut printed paper designed by Teresa Collins to use with the Scor-it! Our whole design team each got to work with a different sheet that has a die-cut card and envelope on it and little images to cut out for embellishments - it is soooo much fun and easy too!

Scor-it is excited to be exhibiting at CHA again this year in Product Performers booth #1573. They will be demoing the new line of Teresa Collins "Family Matters" papers, die-cut cards and file folders. Make sure to stop by and see the complete Scor-it line as well as the new Teresa Collins designs and don't forget to tell them Kazan & Laura sent you :)


This week the winner of Card of the week gets to own their very own Scor-it Mini. Here are the details:

• Please provide a link to your card by posting it on this thread
• Deadline for all entries: Saturday January 24th at Midnight (US Mountain time)
• Your card should be based off the sketch provided and can be of any theme
• The winning card will be announced as the Card of the Week on Sunday, January 25th here at 2 Sketches 4 You.
