Challenge #141

Good morning everyone!
Can you believe it is Tuesday already...and time for another sketch challenge.  With Halloween getting closer, our twist (should you choose to incorporate it) is Spooky Time.  But remember -your project does not have to include that theme.
Here is our sketch:

And here are the design team creations for you:

I am sure you agree that the ladies have created some awesome cards and I know they have inspired you to make something great yourselves.  Please post them below.

Now, before I go, I want to spotlight another member of our team- Mary Jo. Here is what she has to say about herself:

Good morning to you all!  So happy to be featured on the TSOT blog today.  My name is Mary Jo Price-Williams.  I live in Orchard Park, NY and I am married and have one very handsome 13 year old boy.  He is my pride and joy and he consumes most of my spare time--when he is busy--which happens more and more as he gets older--I spend my time crafting.  I love the craft and have done pretty much every craft there is to do--I love to tinker and create--I decided a few years ago that my passion is really paper crafts and that is mostly because of the instant gratification--it very little time you can create beautiful things that can not only make you feel good but others too.  I am a Christian and I am very involved in my church.  Many of my cards are used for church members and for our card ministry.  I hope you have enjoyed learning a bit about me--now lets get crafty.I would love to have you check out my blog  Technostamper  I have lots of challenges and tutorials to share!

Thanks, Mary Jo.

OK, let's get crafting!

But, before you go, it is time to spotlight another of our design team...this week, learn a little about Tanya Bell.

I have been enjoying CherylAnn's 'spotlight on TS0T designers' posts that have been running for a few weeks now and it now seems like it is my turn.  So have been trying to think of what to share that won't send you to sleep.  I guess a good starting point is my family photo that I have included as part of my 'blurb' … these guys are my first love, followed very closely by stamping and crafting!  We live a truly blessed life in gorgeous Australia, in the sunny state of Queensland where winter is only a mild 15 degrees Celcius (no snow for this bunny!).

I have been an 'official out of the closet' stamper for about 4 years which was went I joined as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I was soon swept away in this fabulous and fun-loving hobby and can honestly say that I have never had sooooooo many lovely and generous people in my life since I have been crafting.  I think if I ever travel outside Australia I have sooooo many 'friends' to visit all over the world that I may never get home again. Rest assured I will be visiting some of you in the coming years … watch out US girls!

I am a member of a few design teams, have a wonderful dedicated bunch of weekly Stamp Club ladies and all this whilst holding done a full time job (and being mum and wife as often as I can LOL!).  Stamping is my 'sanity' and I love to share an learn from others and being a part of TSoT since the beginning is a big part of the journey I love and feel so lucky to be travelling on!

Now on to your projects...............
