Welcome to the Sketches4All “Spring is in the Air” Blog Hop!

Today begins the Sketches4All “Spring is in the Air” fun-filled, week long event from today through May 18, 2011! There will be at least one new challenge posted each day of the event (two on certain dates) and there will be some fabulous RAKs offered by the DT. Be sure to check out the Special Events section of the forum to see what new challenge has been posted each day! Please note, you will need to register to the site in order to post comments or participate in the challenges.

To start things off with a bang, the entire DT is participating in today’s Blog Hop! We’ll be starting on Stacy’s blog, heading over to Fia’s blog, stopping at each of the DT’s blogs, then looping back to Fia’s. So, if you didn’t arrive on my blog from the fabulously talented, Nicolle’s blog, please start at the beginning of the hop with Stacy (see link below). Along the way, keep your eyes open for 5 special words (it’s a scavenger hunt!). Only 5 of the stops feature a scrappy supply word for you to collect. Once you have your list of 5 words, you can do one of two things. Option one…Complete a layout based on the sketch below, using all 5 of the supplies on your list and post it to the forum on this thread. This will enter to you for a chance to win the fabulous grand prize.

option 2…you can opt to skip the layout and simply email your list of 5 words to this email addy: scrapmiep2@hotmail.com to be entered to win a second chance prize, which is a $10 e-gift certificate to ScrappyJo’s. If you do decide to create the layout for the hop challenge, you can also email your list to the addy above to be entered into the second chance drawing.

Here’s my example for the sketch (I rotated it 90 degrees) and my supply word for the scavenger hunt is BRADS:

Here’s the sketch you’ll be using for the blog hop challenge:

If you find all 5 scrappy supply words and use those items in a layout based on this sketch, be sure to post your entry to the appropriate thread so you will be entered to win the grand prize:
