Happy Saturday all!! Today is the very first ScrapandStampSaturday(SSS) challenge - WHOOOHOOO!! We are all VERY excited about this new challenge site, and really hope that we get lots of participation! Today's challenge is a really fun one - it's a theme-based sketch!! This sketch is one designed by our very own Pamela who is mega talented at making sketches and graciously offered one up for today!! The theme for the layout is summer - anything summer you want to do as long as (a) you use the sketch and (b) you use two stamps somewhere on your layout!! we are also very excited to announce our first sponsor: LIMELIGHT PAPERCRAFTS!!!!! Mandy has been fabulous to work with, and has such a great online store for all of your stamping and scrapbooking needs. I can honestly say that I spend a lot of time in that store and always find something I HAVE to have! Make sure you check out the store, you will NOT be disappointed!! And, to make it even better, Limelight is celebrating its first birthday so there are fabulous sales going on right now with discounts, specials, and deals! 
For our first challenge, Mandy put together this wonderful prize package for one lucky participant in this week's challenge. All you have to do is upload your link to Mr. Linky and next Friday Melissa and I will pick a winner!! Aren't these goodies just awesome??!!

Who wouldn't want to win this? So, you know what you have to do, right? Just make sure it's done by Midnight PST on Thursday June 19th since we will make the announce the following day.
