The One with Kelly Purkey's Sketchpad Class (+Giveaway!)

Thursday, November 3, 2011

Photobucket
Sketchpad is a brand-new class from Kelly Purkey, spinning off from her series of successful Sketchbook classes. Sketchpad is a downloadable, self-paced class featuring 12 original sketches, 35 exclusive layouts from Kelly + and her talented contributors (including yours truly!), 35 MORE sketches made from those layouts, and 12 amazing cards based on the sketches from the talented, Kristina Werner... all in a full-color 75 page PDF. Visit Kelly's blog for more details on the class and how to purchase (or keep reading for your chance to win a copy of the class!).

Can I just say how ultra flattered I am to be asked by Kelly to contribute to this class? Like, pick-me-up-off the-floor-cuz-I-just-fainted-with-too-much-excitement! To be among these 24 ladies is like a dream come true:
Nichol Magouirk, Davinie Fiero, Kelly Noel, Marcy Penner, Amy Tan, April Foster, Stephanie Howell, Lisa Truesell, Keisha Campbell, Cindy Tobey, Jen Jockisch, Liz Tamanaha, Shimelle Laine, Kelly Goree, Kinsey Wilson, Jennifer McGuire, Erica Hernandez, Celine Navarro, Heathyr Hintz, Robyn Werlich, Paige Evans, Maggie Holmes, and Geralyn Sy.

I looked through the class PDF and holy moly... It's stellar. Definitely worth every penny (and really, $15 is a STEAL for this class IMHO!).

Here is a preview of the layout that I made based on the sketch assigned to me:
Photobucket
I used nearly all products from the new Chap line by American Crafts. It's soooo great for scrapping boys!

Kelly is offering a free copy of her class PDF to one lucky ducky person! Leave a comment on this post by Wednesday November 9th 2011 telling me what your plans are for Thanksgiving (sure, why not? :) and I'll announce the winner that day. Best of luck!

    Love your weave! For Thanksgiving, we'll be in town, but celebrating with my side of the family, although we haven't decided if we'll be hosting, or having the meal at my parents' new place. Looking forward to seeing everyone though, and meeting my new nephew!

    We do two dinners - one at my family's house and one at my boyfriend's. So much good food! I also started the tradition a few years back of going around the table and everyone saying one thing they're thankful for.

    Thanksgiving normally involves quite a bit of driving ... all around to different family gatherings. Lucky to have family all close by, but it makes holidays a challenge to see everyone!

  50. MelindaNovember 4, 2011 at 2:16 PM

    We haven't finalized our plans! It'll definitely involve some driving-either to a waterpark or to a cousin's whom we haven't seen in awhile!
