Ive decided to make a challenge for myself =) Im starting with the newest and working backward so far ive done 203-191. Also the cards im making are 2 inches by 1.25 inches. They fit in these tiny lil ziplock baggies that i have. Ive also decided that each card has to have some sort of stamp on it, as a background , text, or image. It seems that i have several tiny stamps, most are xmas related though, or tiny birds. For embelishments im using tiny things like sequins, small skittles, and ive recently bought a bunch of nail art supplies and those are teeeeeny! they would look great on these even smaller cards that i made, ive been putting them in 5 dram bottles. Ill have to show em off when I take pics.
I really need to work on my cardmaking techniques so I am finally gonna give this sketches a whirl. I am more comfortable working with the most current and going backward. So, I'm starting with 204 today and will try to stay current with new ones as posted while continuously working backwards, if that makes since. I've printed out 10 sketches to get me started. ;)
You guys should link your cards here as you get them done. I know you need to link them in the thread for the appropriate challenge but this way, we could cheer each other on and leave each other some love in the gallery. You might already be doing this, as I have not read through the entire thread!
For players that like to print out the sketch - I recently uploaded a Microsoft Word file with layouts of actual size for the earlier challenges, it's in post #5 of the master thread.
It covers challenges 1 thru 60.

I'm still plugging along. I posted three more pics this week. Still a VERY long way to go, but keeping up with this thread does motivate me once in a while!
thanks for doing that Roxie. I've gotten a little behind with the challenges so I've not met my personal challenge to do them all last year .. .. but I'm not too far short! I have been loading them into my gallery in number order but now I've gotten stuck on #184 and #185 so need to do those before I can load lots more. I think I probably only have a dozen left to do to be up to date! I am now going to try and get up to date before my birthday at the begining of April .. .. but we have some major work to do to the house so my crafting time is limited - I have doors to paint instead!
hugs, annie x
That is great! I have been missing from this thread, and stamping in general, for quite a while. A few days ago I had to spend quite a while searching before I found this thread again. So thanks so much Roxie for making this link! It looks like we might be snowed in for the next day or two so I hope to do some stamping...especially some sketches!
I've decided to challenge myself to do this too- I've printed out the numbers 1-500.... I figure you're no where near sketch 500 yet you may be by the time I back track- hopefully I'll catch up by 300!! What a challenge!!
Wow, I just spent some time looking at the different challenges and was planning to do some of the older ones. I figured it was a good way to improve my skills. I had no clue that others were also doing this...it is nice not to be alone...thanks everyone!
Well I managed to get another 3 loaded today and now I'm stuck on #187 so off to browse the gallery for some inspiration. Then I have several made in the 190s so not too many more to go!
hugs, annie x

Hi Ladies,
After you upload your cards post a link here so we can give them some love.
Good luck and Have Fun!

Ha ha...Annie I think we started this around the same time. Now you are close to 200 (going in order) and I haven't even hit 20 (not in order). :rolleyes:
Congratulations...You are doing a great job!

Annie, that's awesome!!! I've fallen a little behind, but not too bad! This week has been my week on challenges! I've done the current Technique lovers, color combo, sketch, ways to use it, and I'm off to work on the limited supply one. I have also done several on blogs this week in addition to those. Call it a crafting renaissance!

My own challenge is to do all the sketches, there has to be something stamped on it, and they have to fit into these tiny ziplock bags that are 2 inches x 1.5 inches. So far ive done from #184-#240. Ive tried to follow the sketches as close as possible but due to proportions some squares came out more rectangular etc. I think im going to work my way to #1 from #183 and try to keep up with the new ones added. At some point ill have my husband take photos, since theyre small he can fit in a bunch.
Ha! just passed by my old post, guess this thread hasnt move too much.
Nancy Jo just shared this thread with me. Anyone else doing these?
I just saw this thread and what a fun idea to do them all! I've done about 10 of the more recent ones but I'm gonna try and do them all. I'm gonna work from current to back. With the other challenges all week that I so enjoy, I'm gonna try an extra one per week. Like 305 & 1.....
wow...I just found this thread....have thought about doing this as the sketches are a real challenge for me to follow them...glad to see some others may still be doing this. May combine with the other challenges I do most weeks and see what happens.
got quite a few done this past week. these earlier ones are a lot simpler than the current sketches so is making my Christmas cards come together very quickly...here are the ones I have so far:

Keep going! I might just have to join back in once things settle back down after the holidays!
Don't know if anyone else is still doing this challenge but am having a great time with it and getting better at following a sketch. some more I've finished:
