Sketch Saturday #312 - 6th Anniversary Blog Hop

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  I am out of town for a couple of days, so my post is prescheduled.  I hope it goes off as planned.  Anyway, I am here with my DT post for this week's Sketch Saturday Challenge.  It's an exciting week at Sketch Saturday!  Today, Sketch Saturday is celebrating 6 years of sketch challenges!  Jo Edwards posted the very first sketch challenge back on May 31, 2008!  We have a new sponsor this week, too!  We are being sponsored by Little Miss Muffet Stamps, who are generously offering a $25 gift certificate to this week's challenge winner!

Check out the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog and Facebook page, too!

To celebrate 6 years of sketches, we are having a BLOG HOP with Jo and the Little Miss Muffet Design Team!  How fun is that?  There are mystery prizes hidden along the way, so you will want to visit every stop and leave a comment to maximize your chances of winning! 
 

It is the 5th Saturday of the month so that means you can choose any sketch from #215-311.  See the past sketches in the Past Sketches tab on the Sketch Saturday blog.
 
Ok, so with all the info out of the way, you should have arrived at my blog from Barbara's fabulous blog.  If not, you should head back to the Sketch Saturday blog and start from the beginning so you don't miss anything.
 
I chose Sketch #275, designed by Debra, for my project:
 
 
Here is my card:
 
 
My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park A Perfect Summer 6x6 pad.  The adorable image is Polka Dot Pals Roxie from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I gave her a happy face using one of the Polka Dot Pals Add-on Faces in the store.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I did a bit of doodling around the image panel and added a bit of Stickles to the flower center.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I created a fun little sun using a piece of netting trim from Webster's Pages and a button.  A few gems and a 3D sticker from my stash finished my card.
 
Here is a close-up of the colored image:
 
 
Thanks for stopping by!  Your next stop on the hop is Cathy's wonderful blog!  Enjoy the rest of the hop and good luck!
 
In case you get lost, here is the whole line-up:

  7. Hi Carla love your card and especially that tuille - I use that for wrapping pressies so you've just given me another sneaky idea with it. Love how it all combines in wonderful sunny and fun colours and delightful colouring.
