New Project Life Challenge ~ "Use Twine" on your project!


Happy Monday, everyone! And welcome back to our newest Challenge here at Stuck on U Sketches ... our Project Life Challenges! As you probably have noticed, lots of scrappers are now choosing to document their everyday happenings in the fun, yet simplified way. Talk about a great way to stay better organized and maybe, just maybe, a little bit more current! 

Thank you to everyone who played along last time! We will be choosing  Top #3 winners on our July 1st challenge. The previous PL challenge closed seconds before this one began, so obviously we had no time to choose winners. 

This time we want to see Twine on your PL project. You can do a digital, 3-d project or hybrid ... whichever you prefer. Just remember to add Twine somewhere on your project! 

Okay! Are you ready to see some DT inspiration? We are!! 
Take it away, ladies!

June 14 Die Cut post challenge and DT introductions!

Happy Friday, Die Cut Lovers! We have another great challenge for you today! Here it is already mid-June .... now, how the heck did that happen? Seems like the year is just swooshing by! So, in honor of Summer (or everything outdoors for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere and craving some sunshine), the Die Cut Challenge this time is: 


Your project must be new ... and a Die tool or Die Cut machine must be used!! No stickers and no stamped images unless that are subsequently Die Cut. 

Before we go any further with our Reveal, we'd like to introduce you to some new Die Cut Team members! Here they are:



Hi, I’m Sheila!   I am so happy to be a part of the Stuck on U Sketches die cut team!  I am a wife, and a stay at home mom to two beautiful girls and one insane cat.   Most afternoons, I can be found in my sunny scrap room, working on a project.   My style changes often…I like to follow trends and try new techniques!  I love haunting thrift stores and garage sales for my next project.  Besides scrapbook supplies, Ihoard  collect glass bottle stoppers and miniature tin can chairs.  You can find more of my work at:  http://parttimepretties.blogspot.com/


Hi, my name is Kim Hill. I have been crafting and upcycling (it’s “altered art” now, I think) for as long as I can remember. My love for paper crafting began with scrapbooking in high school during the 1980s. Since then, I’ve added card making, home décor projects (think paper wreaths, frames, etc), and book binding to the mix. Stuck on U Sketches is my third opportunity to participate on a design team. I love inspiring others and being inspired by others to create beautiful things. When not in my craft studio, I can be found hanging out with my wonderful family or working on my PhD dissertation.


My name is Brenda Lawrence,  I am 53 years old and I'm mom to 6 boys/men and grandma to 6.  I love crafting, reading, being with family, camping and outdoor activities as my health allows.  I love my husband who is my soul mate and our life on the farm. I'm a country bumpkin through and through!  I don't often leave the farm because this is the best place to be!  I have so many blessings and I thank God everyday for them and now I have one more to be added to my blessing list and that is being on the SOUS design team! What an honor for me!!!! I look forward to many challenges with these talented ladies!!


Hi everyone,
My name is Melissa with Moe Creations,I started out scrapbooking in 2004 which spun into card making and have been loving every minute of it! I occasionally make some altered projects,  love making little boxes, oh, lets just face it, anything that has to do with paper, I just love!!  I started my blog on April 8th, 2010, have met so many wonderful people, designed for some amazing crafters such as;
Mary with Cricut Cardz Challenge 8/25/2010 - 3/26 2013
Mag Challenge by the Page - Co-owner 10/23/10 -1/6/12
Joy with Joys Life Stamps 1/13/2011-8/19/2011
Celebrate the Occasion 2/1/11-12/13/11
3 Girl Jam - Guest Designer 12/21/12
Cardz TV Stamps 11/7/11- until....
I also have won many blog awards and have been ranked in several challenges!!! I would have never thought that I would have so much fun sharing my crafting ideas and learning from all of you! Just want to say thanks to SOUS for the opportunity to design for them and to add another team to my resume!

Welcome, ladies! We are so glad that you are here!

June 7th Sketch Challenge and new DT members!

Yay! It's Friday and oh my gosh, we LOVE our Fridays! First of all, it marks the beginning of the weekend for most of us and it is also Reveal day! And this is a big one with lots of news! 


This week we are back to Sketches. We've had lots of requests for multi-pic layouts, so we are still trying to accommodate your wishes.  This is a fun little sketch that you will enjoy designed by one of our co-leaders, Sandi Clarkson! Hope you like it! It might look a little intimidating at first but trust me, once you get started, you can't stop! 





But before we get ahead of ourselves, we'd like to take a moment to introduce you to the new members of our sketch team and let them tell you a bit about themselves! 


"Hi I am Kim Kendell and have been scrapping now for over 16 years. I have a love of paper and what can be done with it .You will find I also love mists and paints and lots of layers and flowers. I am a Mum to one beautiful daughter Malina and partner to Don and aunt to many who are all part of of scrapping. I have designed for many companies and business over the years and currently design for 5 teams with this being my 6th. I look forward to hopefully inspiring you with my creations.." 


"My name is Nicolle Kramer and  I have been scrapbooking for around 8 yrs. I am a stay at home mom of 4 children. I have 2 boy ages 19,18 and 2 girls as well ages 16 and 10. My hubby of 20 yrs is extremely supportive of my hobby. We both love the arts.  I enjoy dabbling in different styles of scrapping. i love a challenge. It's fun to learn new techniques and trends. I'd like to think I am an ever evolving scrapper who loves using bright bold colors, textures and lots of embellishments to enhance the story being told on my page in a unique and creative way that keeps the viewer continually discovering new details every time they see one of my pieces.  I have made some amazing friends in this hobby and have enjoyed every team I have been on. Papercrafting is so much fun. :)"


"My name is Elisabetta Colavero (Eli) and I'm italian: I love sun, pizza and ice cream!  Born on the 3rd of March, 1973, I have a daughter Noemi, 9 years old, who is the favorite subject of my projects.  We live in a nice cottege in a little city with 2 old cats. I'm graduated in Agriculture, and I work for the Province of Cremona, Agricultural department. But I'm very lucky! I can work at home, so I have time to devote to my hobbies: reading, sporting, gardening, and of course, scrapbooking. I started about 7 years ago, and I prefer the layouts and sometimes minialbums. The cards, instead, simply hate me!  I have a not defined style, because I like changes and I try always new techniques. Scrapbooking for me it's like a drug... It allows me to express the artistic side of me and, at the same time, to create something that preserves forever my fondest memories. My slogan is: "Do not throw anything" , both in scrapbooking that in cooking. Yes, I'm a good cook too!"

Welcome, ladies! 
Also, Erica Ortiz, who was on our card team is now part of our Sketch team! Yay, Erica! 
If you haven't noticed, along the left-hand sidebar we now how our team photos under the specific team for which they design. 

Alright, time for some inspiration from our amazing Design Team!
