We are so thrilled to share some exciting news! Starting this month, we are changing our challenges to be ALL Sketches and we have added a CHALLENGE Design Team to inspire you and to cheer you on as you join us each week!!!
Each month, we will have a weekly Sketch for you to try!
You can play along each week for a chance to win!
We will announce our Sweet Picks and our Main Winner at the end of each month. So the more times you play, the better chance you have of winning!
Each month, one randomly selected winner will receive a $25 Gift Certificate to the SugarPea Designs Online Shoppe. However, if the winning entry features a SugarPea Designs stamp we will increase the prize to $75!
Without further ado, please help us welcome our new Challenge Design Team! We asked them to share a little about themselves!
Hello…I’m Brandi and I live in upstate New York with my husband, son and two Westies. I’ve always loved art in some form (watercolors, painting, etc.) but making cards has always been my favorite. My other interest include golfing, reading and hanging out with my friends and family. I’m so excited to be a part of this amazing team and hope to inspire some of you.
Hi! I’m Claire Broadwater. I live in Greensboro, GA. My wonderful husband Bill is my biggest fan! I have twin sons and a bonus son and daughter. We have six fabulous Grandchildren. I taught Elementary School for 27 years, but really started teaching at the age of four. I have been cutting and pasting paper my whole life. I started scrapbooking years ago, but got into card making about three years ago. The instant gratification and having cards to mail to others was so rewarding to me. I love mixing patterns and lots of layers. I absolutely adore coloring, too! Bling, big bows, sequins and buttons make me smile!
Hi! Some of you may know me as “Three Trees”, but my friends and family just call me Deanne. I have been paper crafting basically all of my life. I made my first scrapbook when I was five (and still have it today!) and haven’t stopped since. I live right smack-dab in the middle of Canada (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to be exact), so to keep warm and cozy indoors I continued scrapbooking. Then I realized that I would rather share my hobby with others and started card creating. I have been crafting cards since 2008 and love it more every day!
Hi! I’m Jeanne Jachna. I’m a married, stay at home mom of two young adults, and one very active Akita puppy. I live in Northwest Indiana near Chicago. I like to read, garden, and cook, but I have been completely captivated by paper crafting. When I quit my job a few years back my DH started calling me “his kept wife”. The name of my blog “A Kept Life” is a play on that expression. I am blessed to spend my days surrounded by all the things I love. I can’t resist a new set of stamps, bling, big bows and colorful paper. I love to layer on lots of die cuts and mix different patterned papers together. My time crafting is a sweet escape and a fun way to express myself.
Hi, I’m Karren Johnson from Christchurch, New Zealand. I live with my partner, Pete, and our two sons, Matthew 17 and William 13. I have been stamping for about 14 years and find it a great way to relax after working all week at my job. My style is usually CAS and I can do layers when I need to, but I struggle using patterned papers 🙂 My blog address is karrenj.blogspot.co.nz
Hello! I’m Laura Jane, Wife to my best friend and the ONE God made for me. SAHomeschoolingMamma to 6 Blessings. (2 have graduated, and flown to new ventures of thier own, YEAH!) We live in Illinios close to St Louis. Cardmaking has been my passion of learning since 2013. I LOVE playing with stamps, mostly floral images 🙂 and trying out all the artsy techniques that others share in blogland! My blog is After-Hours Ink and Flowers, as I can often be found at home in the school/craft room when everything else is done…or not 🙂 Before cards, my studies were in Baking, Homeopathy/Herbology and Crochet. Super excited to join the SugarPea challenge Design Team and PLAY along! Life is SWEET!
Hi! My name is Lee Ann Barrett; I live in St Louis with my devoted Greyhound named Bella. I have been a crafter as long as I can remember, having done everything from cross-stitch to quilting. Scrapbooking became my crafting addiction about 20 years ago. When I was introduced to stamping a few years back, card making slowly started taking over my life! When I am not cutting paper or getting inky, I am a school nurse. I also enjoy traveling, geocaching and photography. I am thrilled to be working with such a talented group of ladies and feel blessed to be able to work with SugarPea Designs products. Many thanks to Wendy for giving me the opportunity! You can find me at www.greytpapercrafts.blogspot.com
My name is Lesley and I am an avid card maker. I love my sweet husband Corey and our two furbabies…Rolley and Penney. I have been crafting and blogging since 2009 and I am fortunate to have made such lovely connections with bloggers from all over the world. I love paper and blogging…it is a passion! SugarPea Designs is one of my favourite stamp companies and designing for Wendy is a dream! I do hope you will join in our weekly sketches! We cannot wait to visit your blog to cheer you on!
Hello! I am married, have a grown son, a sweet dog and a crazy cat! I am a retired dental hygienist, but I still work full time in my dental office as the hygiene department manager. I have lived in beautiful Charlotte, NC all my life! My favorite thing to do is stamp and create! I was introduced to stamping by a dear friend about 10 years ago and have been hooked ever since! Hopefully, you will be inspired by what I do and fall in love with this wonderful art form as much as I have!
