SKETCHY THURSDAYS CHALLENGE BLOG Grand Opening!!

Scroll down one more post for today's Friends with Flair post!

I'm sure it's been no secret as of late just how much I {HEART} the Sketchy Thursdays challenge Diana has been bringing to us weekly on her blog.  Well, guess what??  I {HEART} them so much I've (suckered) convinced Diana to partner with ME on a new dedicated Sketchy Thursdays challenge blog and she (fell for) agreed to it!!  Woooohoooo!!!

Every week we'll be bringing you the same COMPLETELY AWESOME Diana sketchy goodness, but on a new dedicated SKETCHY THURSDAYS challenge blog.  In addition to the sketches, which in and of themselves are the BEST reason to play along, we've assembled an AMAZINGLY TALENTED & INNOVATIVE design team to bring you that extra bit of inspiration weekly!!  Aaaand, if that's just not enough incentive to play along, every week we have a delicious prize for the winning entry!

So, to celebrate the new blog launchand DT, we're having a Grand Opening celebration!!  We want you to WANT to join us on the new blog and play along so there's going to be prizes!  LOTS OF PRIZES!  Here's how it's going to go down:

• Starting Monday there will be prizes posted.

• All followers are automatically entered into every drawing (yeah!! we love our followers).

• Every post you comment on, you have a second entry into that drawing for that day.

• Want us to really love you?! Leave a comment telling us you talked about Sketchy Thursdays' prize of the day on a forum, your blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc. and we'll count you again for that day.

Now, what are we winning? We'll be posting prizes from our launch sponsors, as well as still giving the prizes for the sketch challenge each week, until 9/24. All winners will be announced on 9/25. Do the math... THAT'S A LOT OF PRIZES!! And a lot of chances!

A big thank you to our launch sponsors!

Cosmo Cricket, Unity Stamp Co. and Flamingo Scraps!
