Unscripted Sketches #153 + THREE YEAR blog-iversary!

Posted on | April 7, 2012 | 27 Comments

Welcome to Sketch it Saturdays at Unscripted Sketches! If you are just finding Unscripted Sketches, every Saturday morning we post a sketch for the week. Flip the sketch, rotate it… create a card, a scrapbook page, or anything your imagination comes up with! There is no right or wrong way, as long as you are using the Unscripted Sketch as the inspiration and basis of your creation!

IT’S OUR THREE-YEAR BLOG-IVERSARY!

We’re celebrating THREE years in blog land so welcome to our blog party! We’d like to thank everyone who has visited us over the past three years. We’ve seen lots of changes over the past three years and I think you’re going to like the newest ones, too!

NEW LOOK

First would be our new look. How do you like the new format? (If you can’t see our new format, header, etc. you may need to refresh.) Our new header, clipboards, Top 3 badge, etc. were all designed by our own Arielle, giving us a great new look! Isn’t it fabulous!?! Thanks, Arielle! We’ll be making little alterations and tweaks for the next few weeks, so you may see a few more new things coming up in later posts, too!

NEW DESIGNERS

Second is the announcement of our new designers. We’ve taken on some great ladies with lots of talent! Here they are (in no particular order).

 Stephanie Severin
Michele Cunningham
Jessica Carlberg
Alicia Thelin
Patrice Plauche
Stephanie Gaines
Nicole Laha
Adriana Benitez
Tracey Holdyk
Jane Wetzel
Laura Davidson

A couple of them, even in such a very short time, have had a chance to create something with this week’s sketch! They’ll all make their debut in the next week or two, so you’ll be seeing a lot from all of them soon! Welcome, ladies!!!

GAMES

What’s a party without games? Since we’ve been here THREE years, we’re playing THREE games. There are THREE RAKs to give away and THREE ways to win! (These will be mailed so please see the disclaimer in the sidebar.) Every time you play one of the games, your name will be entered into the “hat”.

1- COMMENT GAME- Everyone who posts a comment below before midnight EST on Friday, April 13 will have their name entered to win one of THREE RAKs. You may comment as many times as you like, but each person will only be counted once.

2- PROJECT ENTRY GAME- Every project submitted via Inlinkz at the end of this post using this week’s sketch (#153) before midnight EST on Friday, April 13 will get their name entered to win one of THREE RAKs. Each submission will count as one entry. Multiple entries will be accepted for this game.

3- SKETCH #3 ENTRY GAME- Even though we’re making lots of new changes and updates, it’s also fun to look back sometimes, so every project submitted via Inlinkz at the end of this post using our THIRD SKETCH (below) before midnight EST on Friday, April 13 will get their name entered to win one of THREE RAKs. Each submission will count as one entry. Multiple entries will be accepted for this game.

After midnight EST on Friday, April 13, all entries submitted for all three games will be collected, combined and three winners will be drawn from all eligible entries. Winners will be announced in next week’s regular Saturday blog post. Have fun and happy creating, everyone!

    I had to laugh at myself….when I first came here today, I thought I was in the wrong site. After I realized that you had “spiffed” up the site, I looked in “awe” as I moved around the site! Very, very NICE! Congratulations and Happy Easter!

    Love, Glee

    Congratulations! I was a really bad blogger these days and that’s why I just found out about your DT-Call. And I really really sorry that I didn’t had a chance to participate in it – but I surely will next time :) Congrats to the new ladies in the DT – girls, your work is awesome! And your new look is gorgeous! Totally love it!
    Hugs
