Deconstrucing Sketch Vacation Blog Hop!!



It's a
Deconstrucing Sketch
 Vacation Blog Hop! 
 
Jen is on vacation this week so she thought it would be fun
to mix things up a bit this week and have a blog hop. 
And you know what a blog hop means... that's right PRIZES!!
For this blog hop there will be TWO prizes, one for one very lucky 
commenter and one for one very lucky randomly drawn
participant in the sketch challenge.
 
So what do you need to do?

Well, hop around to all the design team blogs and leave a comment.
The list is below so you can hop in your own order. 
Very easy! Second, take a look at the sketch and make a project
using the sketch as creative inspiration, post it online (blog or gallery)
and link it back to the InLinkz on Jen's blog. Again, very easy!!
On June 27th, 2011 Jen will announce the winner of the comment
prize on her blog. The winner of the sketch participation prize 
will be announced on June 30th along with the next sketch.

So what are the prizes?
Well Jen has kept that a secret so you will need to take
a trip to her blog to find out what the prizes will be! 
But they are sure to be BIG!

 Now for this week's card...




 And this week's amazing sketch...


 I actually made this card for my lovely brother-in-law.
I really had trouble picking out an image to colour for Leon, 
then I remembered one of Kraftin' Kimmie's 50's themed 
images called "Danny" and since my BIL is a mechanic I thought
Danny was pefect to use....




 The paper is from October Afternoon's Road Map Collection
and is called "Sundowner Motel". The border punch is from 
EK Success. And the "Cool Dude" is an accessory sentiment
stamp that come with another 50's themed image called "Richie".



 Then I finished the card off with more papers and a 
"Happy Birthday" sentiment...
