Etsy Blog Hop Sketch & Prize

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the Etsy Blog Hop & my very first challenge! A little info about me: My name is Jacquel Bowman aka Jackie and I'm super excited to be a part of the Etsy Design Team!! I've been married to my highschool sweetheart for 16 years and I'm a SAHM to 3 wonderful children--Reginald Jr., Brandon & Bianca. I was introduced to stamping 3 years ago and instantly became an addict---I signed up about 3 months after picking up my first SU! stamp!! I truly enjoy sharing my passion with others & I'm thrilled that Ashley wanted me to be a part of her awesome team!!!

This is my card/challenge for you today! I'm having problems uploading so my sketch isn't here but if you follow my card and the examples below; you should be fine!! My challenge is for you to make a card using this sketch AND the colors of your card must be inspired from the designer paper you use. So, if your paper is red, orange and yellow--*gasp*--those must be the colors of your card!! Easy peasy right!!!
This is the prize that you have the chance to win by playing in my challenge. A $20 Gift Certificate to Lovely Supplies. She has *tons* of goodies in her store so I'm sure you'll have lots of fun shopping LOL!!! How do you win you ask? Make your card/creation according to the rules I posted above and link it up here. Don't have a blog, but upload to places like Splitcoaststampers or Paper Craft Planet? Leave me a comment letting me know and be sure and use the keywords EICJAC when you upload so I can find your creations. Have your cards/creations completed and uploaded by Tuesday, March 3rd at Midnight PST & I'll announce the winner on March 4th with a random drawing.
This is Shannon's awesome card for my sketch! I think she may have been spying on me because our cards are so similar LOL! I love it...especially the dp she used---awesome work Shannon!!!
This is Ashley's card for my sketch! Look at that gorgeous dp she used...isn't it pretty! I love the color scheme too....very yummy!! Excellent work Ashley....I *heart* those dew drops too!!!!

I'm going to take the next couple of days off from blogging because my son is having all 4 of his wisdom teeth removed today and I will be taking care of him. I will be checking my comments to see your beautiful work though, so don't think I'll be completely slacking off!! I will post again on Tuesday/Wednesday so be sure and check back to see if you're the winner!

Thank you so much for stopping by and playing in my very first challenge! I truly appreciate it and can't wait to see what you create!! Have a great rest of the day and a wonderful weekend!!!
TTFN,
Hugs,
