Hello everyone. I am sad to say that this will be the last sketch for awhile here at Graphicat, as well as you'll notice that our Digi site is shut down as well. I have been very unwell for quite some time now and it's just becoming too much for me to run everything. so it's with a heavy heart that I have to take some time to heal and get better. I will be back! Just as soon as I can. Thank you for understanding.

Here are the previous winners from the last couple of challenges:
**Free for All Challenge - Janet
**MACI Challenge - Dorothy S
**Sketch 25 - lauren bergold

Congratulations girls, please email me at graphicatcreations@gmail.com and I will get your prizes out to you!


We have one last challenge for you this week. Let's see a great support for Cheri's great sketch and add your take on this week's sketch.

A special Challenge

This week the design team agreed with Cheri that we should all make birthday cards for a special young lady for her 8th birthday. We heard about her on a Facebook group that several of us are members of and we all decided we should see how many of our wonderful followers would like to join in.
 Here is the story that touched our hearts. 

Ladies I need your help! quick story I met a wonderful lady through FB playing a game I no longer play. A friend via a friend kinda thing. Her name is Daylyn Michael and she is a fellow military spouse. Her husband Josh survived two Iraq deployments and was medically discharged due to brain trauma from 2 IED explosions. On November 15th 2012 , in Midland Tx, in a parade to honor veterans, a Union Pacific train slammed into the float carrying the 2 of them. He did not survive, Daylyn survived without a scratch because her courageous husband threw her from the float so her children would not be orphans. She has asked her friends for a small favor their daughter is turning 8 on the 20th. Her first birthday without her dad. Daylyn wants to make it special and all she is asking is that we flood her daughter with cards. Would anyone be willing to send her one? 

OK so here's the challenge this week, it's an anything goes as long as it's a card for Maci. A birthday card preferably. Graphicat Designs has created some stamps just for this occasion and if you would like to use any of them, they are free for the taking, again, we ask that if you take a sentiment, please use it on card for Maci. You will find the FREEBIES on our Freebie page, just click on the page link above.  Please email any of us for the address to send you card and enter the challenge to win a $15 GC to www,graphicatstamps.com.

Here is some DT samples for you to check out!!

Sketch Challenge #20

Well it's about time we came back huh?! We had a bit of an extended Holiday over here, gave me alittle time to get some new senti's made up for you and to add a few new members to our incredibly talented Crafty Catz team! I'm so honoured to introduce to you Yvette (the incredibly talented sister of our other amazing cat Yvonne! How cool is that?), as well as Regan (I was over the moon when she agreed to join our team! I'm so lucky!!), and a newcomer to the blogosphere, Minnie Maines!! There will be a few newby faces popping in here and there..... so stay tuned!

We have a fun new sketch for you all today, as well as there are some great new V Day sentiments in the shop and showcased by my wonderful team. Of course they are not your typical sappy senti's as I don't do V day as some of you may recall... I would much rather my hubby recoqnize our love for each other on a random surprise one day than on a Commercialism driven, because he's EXPECTED to do something pretend holiday.... anyhow, I have some new *Anti-V Day* sentiments for you to hopefully chuckle over. 
On top of the usual, $10 GC to the Graphicat Stamps online store for one random winner, every entry in our challenge this week will recieve this freebie image.




How cool is that?! She goes wonderfully with all the new sentiments! Now! Here is your new sketch, can't wait to see your creations!
