Raise the Bar's new sketch

Hello again everyone!
{For this week's FFC Friday Spy Day, please scroll down to the earlier post - thank you!}

This week at Raise The Bar, we have a sponsor AND a sketch by the wonderful

*Melyssa Connolly of Whimsie Doodles*

Here is the sketch:

For my card I used the adorable Lollipop Girl:

Late one evening I had an idea to use twine to mimic those old fashioned lollipops.

It was so simple to do! Just put down a nice, thin layer of craft glue, then using a tool,

twirl the twine from inside the circle on out. 

It was actually quite therapeutic, I'll be finding more images to use my twine on. ;)

Here are some challenges I'm joining in on :

Pals Paper Arts: red

Paper Pretties: ribbon or twine

Fab 'n' Funky Challenges: Use a digi

Truly Scrumptious: Love and hearts

Come on over and join in on the sketchy fun!
You can see the beautiful (and I'm not kidding) samples 

here on the Raise The Bar's blog.

You have one week to participate for your chance to win a spot as a Guest Bar-Tender!

Have a beautiful day everyone!

Raise the bar, and come help Japan!

Happy beautiful Friday everyone!
Okay, so a bunch of exciting announcements today so I'm going to list them all:

Raise The bar has a new challenge up, inspired by this adorable pixie below:

Create a card or project based on this picture - you can use a fairy on your card, use the color combo as I have, or create a sketch inspired by this cutie. Just be sure to link up to Raise The Bar and let us know how this picture inspired you!
My card above uses an adorable image drawn by Mo Manning. Mo has a new shop up here and to test it out, she is offering that adorable little chef in my card for $1 - with ALL proceeds going to Japan! So far she has raised over $500 to donate, please consider getting an image for yourself. Are you a friend of Mo's on Facebook? She also offered that free digi paper used on my card!
This card was designed around Pals Paper Arts sketch:

Thank you so much for coming by everyone! I am headed out to celebrate my wedding anniversary with hubby. We're out looking for homes with our 2 youngest kiddos, then heading out to lunch to celebrate. :) Don't forget to enter in to my pie contest that ends tomorrow, see the post below to join in on the fun!
