In the midst of our travel preparations, I really am SUPER excited to get started with the TE Sketch Challenge again! If you're new to our sketch challenge, WELCOME! And if you're a seasoned pro, WELCOME BACK! Everyone will want to continue reading as we're changing up a few things to make it even more fun and exciting!
1. I'm thrilled to welcome Tracy Clemente as our new Sketch Team Coordinator! She'll be keeping us all in line behind the scenes and I can't even tell you how thankful I am for that! These days I need to have someone lay out my clothes for me in the morning. Tracy, can you pop over and do that too!? *wink* I'm also super excited to welcome Jen Shults and Sankari Wegman to the team. Jen, Sankari, and I will be trading off designing the layouts for each sketch challenge!
2. Your sketch challenge entries should be uploaded right here on my blog using the In Linkz below. Previously your cards needed to be uploaded to Splitcoaststampers and while you're still welcome (and encouraged!) to upload there, we'll be choosing the winners from the cards that are linked here on my blog. New sketch challenges will be posted on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month.
3. We're adding in a new twist called the Top Chef! In addition to choosing one random winner for a TE gift certificate, I'll also be choosing my favorite card each week and awarding the creator Top Chef honors! Our Top Chef will participate along with the Sketch Crew in the following week's sketch challenge and have her card and blog featured right here on the TE Blog. I'll be judging the entries based on the three C's....cute, clever, and creative! Can't wait to see what you all make.
OK... so I think I've covered the changes and it's finally time to get to the sketch! Ready!? It's a fun one!
Here are the sketch requirements one more time:
Create a card using the above sketch as inspiration. You're not required to use TE stamps to play, but there's a bonus prize if you do! To be entered into the prize drawing you must link your card using the In Linkz provided below by Thursday, February 9th. And here are the prizes that are up for grabs:
1. I will randomly select one person from all of the challenge links to receive a $10 gift certificate to the TE Store! If you used predominantly TE Stamps on your project you’ll receive an extra $10 bonus for a total $20 gift certificate!
2. I will select my favorite card to win Top Chef honors! The winner of the Top Chef will play along with the sketch crew and have her blog and card design featured here on the TE blog.
While some things change, others stay the same (which is a really great thing when I'm talking about our amazingly talented Sketch Crew!!). They're back to share their inspiration using the above sketch:

Your card could not be more perfect!!! What a great card for someone turning 21! I'll have to remember that trick of decorating the numbers with Tiny Twinkles. You're brilliant Taylor, and so creative! Love you!
See you soon!
Lisa
Taylor, if I could logistically pull it off, I'd definitely love to help with your wardrobe in the mornings! LOL! Sooo glad TESC is back!!!
Fun sketch and great samples from the team!! Can't wait to play!!! Yay!
Love this sketch! Love circle:))
LOVE these samples - what fabulous inspiration. The sketch was so much fun to work with. LOVED it!
Nurse during take off and landing. Your baby will naturally swallow and pop her ears and not be one of those squalling, screaming in pain babies!
Fabulous first sketch of the year Taylor! I LOVE your card. That image is just perfect and the papers and colors are awesome! The nuber looks great with the blings! :o)

Fantastic Sketch, Taylor! I had a blast making my card. Your card is super cute!!! The bright colors really pop and are so fun!

As someone else mentioned, nurse her for liftoff and landing. But if she's too distracted or won't nurse, give her a bottle (provided that's something she's used to) or give her a soother. In case her ears still hurt, make sure you have some Advil or Tylenol infant drops with you. You could also ask your doctor what dose of cold medicine or Gravol is appropriate for her age in case she is fussy. It will help her sleep. Often dosing for under 2years isn't on the bottle so check with your doctor. I'd also highly recommend wearing your baby during the flight. I prefer a Moby style wrap because is stored small, fits anyone and is extremely comfortable. I bought mine at Snuggy Baby.com but I suppose you won't get it in time. Finer baby stores sell them too; maybe there is one near you. Dress her in layers and same for you worrying more about comfort than looks especially your shoes. Hope this helps.
Fabulous sketch, great cards.
Oh my, Taylor! I'm so happy that the sketches are back, and your take on this one is amazing! Great bling for a special birthday card :D
Yay, welcome back! My entry is a LOOSE interpretation. Very loose. :)
So happy the sketches are back. I was having withdrawals!!! Love them.
