DS50 + Exciting News!

It's Deconstructed Sketch day, and Jen has a very cool sketch for us this week:

Isn't that fun? Love the staircased vertical strips and the diagonal element on top. 

Being that it's the first Thursday of the month, this week's sketch is also sponsored, and the sponsor is ...

  The Ribbon Carousel

One lucky sketch participant will win a one-year membership to the Ribbon Kit Club, thanks to our friends at the Ribbon Carousel. Is that an awesome prize or what?! To be eligible, compete your sketch in the next week and link it up HERE.

• Jessica Diedrich
• Kadie Ensley
• Lori Boyd
• Pam Varnell
• Sheri Gilson

Now for the exciting news ... my guest designer term with the Deconstructed Sketch Girls officially ended last week, but today I officially join the team. Yes, really ... I'm a "Deconstructed Sketch Girl"! I'm thrilled to be sticking around!!

Such good news also means I'm that much more embarrassed about not having a sample ready yet. I know, so lame! Forgive me, but I haven't touched a stamp in a week. I'm looking forward to some stamp therapy today, though {finally!}, so I'll cross my fingers and hope to update with a sample in a few hours. 

A quick word about my silly card ... The mustache was die-cut from brown felt using a super fun new CutUps die from The Cat's Pajamas called Mustaches. The sentiment in the lower left "Have A Fun{TACHE}tic Day" is from TCP's coordinating stamp set, The Mustache Set. This set and these dies are SO much fun!

Today's card is also my sample for TCPTuesday #208. This week, we have a color challenge hosted by Lori Tecler: (I'm totally counting denim as a neutral -- wouldn't you?)

TCP TUESDAY CHALLENGE DETAILS... 1. Each Tuesday we will give you a challenge. 2. You will have until the end of the month to complete the challenge. 3. Add your entry to the guestbook on Alma’s blog or upload to the SCS Gallery, using the keywordTCPTUES208 for this week’s challenge. 4.
