Game Shows - admit it, we've all watched them at some point . . .well, have you ever wanted to actually be on a game show? What game show would it be? Are you a "couch" Game Show Participant?? Spill it, you can tell us!

For over seven decades now, people have been spending countless hours in front of the "boob-tube" watching contestants perform everything from physical feats to cerebral calisthenics . . . all in the name of winning that big cash prize at the end, or that dream vacation, or better yet, that new car.

Come on down & join us all month long in August as we celebrate game shows with YOU! All challenges will be based on specific Game Shows. And as always, the more challenges you complete, the better your chances are to win that "ULTIMATE" prize at the end. Deal, or no deal?

For my project, I picked the game show “Hollywood Squares.” This game show debuted in 1965 where contestants selected from nine celebrities occupying nine boxes to answer trivia questions. The first contestant that could get three celebrities in a row to answer three questions correctly won a valuable prize. With Hollywood Squares as my inspiration, I went literal and used a square sketch from my design team Sketches in Thyme as my inspiration. I used a variety of nature pictures that I have taken this summer along with a variety of nature themed and earth tone papers to pull this project together.

I like this sketch so much that I'm uploading the project I did for Sketches in Thyme using this sketch. It is PERFECT when you have scraps of paper you don't want to pitch, but are too small to fill a full page.
