Welcome to Sketchfest Sunday!

Presented by:


Committed to inspiring creativity, Studio Calico features the work of noteworthy designers, provides online support and encouragement, and offers products that are both fun and innovative. We are dedicated to design and an old-fashioned commitment to customer care.

Each month, Studio Calico combines the latest scrapbooking products with unique finds from a variety of sources while staying true to the basics. You'll find kits filled with products from a variety of manufacturers, coordinated for ease-of-use by both the advanced and novice scrapbooker.

Monthly Kits Include:

- neutral + colored cardstock
- patterned papers from multiple manufacturers
- at least one alphabet
- journaling aid(s)
- variety of embellishments which may include vintage items, stamps, ribbon, chipboard, and more!

Studio Calico also offers add-on kits to supplement the main kit, or to stand alone. Whether it's a main kit or add-on, Studio Calico is devoted to providing the resources to help members put innovative products to use.


You can take a look at the fabulous September kit, HERE, and the add-on kits, HERE.


DO WHAT?

Every day this week at 12:01 AM, PST, we will publish a card sketch. You'll have until 7 AM PST the following morning to create your card and link us to it via Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post. Please link us directly to your blog post, not your main blog address.


PRIZES

A group of prizes will be awarded to random Sketchfest entries including TWO of the same Studio Calico kits that were used in the Crew Caards, "Director's Cut", and this fabulous "LOLLIPOP GUILD" kit;




GRAND PRIZE

We are so excited to announce that we will be choosing a grand prize winner from the ones who complete all seven sketch challenges. The winner will be offered a position on the Caardvarks Crew Team for the new six-month term which begins November 1st! So...if you'd like to throw your name into the hat, be sure to complete all 7 challenges by the deadlines! At the end of Sketchfest, we'll ask you to email us to let us know you completed *all* of the challenges and we'll announce our new Crew Member by October 1st.

So, I just want to make sure I understand the time line and when things are due. So, for example you post the new challenge at 12:01 am sunday night and we have 7:00 am monday morning to have our card up. Is that right? Thanks, this week is going to be so fun.
