My First Critter Sketch Challenge Post



Good Monday morning to you! Today is my first post for the new DT I'm on called the Critter Sketch Challenge blog. I'm so excited to be part of this team - hope you will visit us there and play along!

The challenge this week is a sketch challenge. Here is the sketch:



The sketch also indicates to use 2 eyelets or brads somewhere on the card or scrapbook page. For my card, I turned the sketch around and also added stitching around the papers.

Here is my card:



This week, our sponsor is Stamp and Create. Normally, we will only have 1 give away a month which will be given at the end of the month. However, this week we thought it would be fun to SURPRISE you and give one away at the end of this week. Stamp and Create has chosen to sponsor our blog for one week and is offering one lucky winner a $15 gift certificate to their store. So today, I chose to use an image from theWags 'n Whiskers line. This stamp was created by the very talented Crissy Armstrong and is called A Good Book. Don't you just love her? Can't wait till the weather warms up enough so I can sit under a tree with a good book. This fabulous tree is from the Magnolia-licious store and is probably my most favorite accessory stamp as I use it all the time.

Recipe:

Papers from K & Co, distress inks, copics, flower brads, flower soft, ribbon from Michaels, and Martha Stewart border punches.

Here is a picture of the copics I used:



Well, thanks for visiting me today. Hope you will play along with us at the Critter Sketch Challenge blog. Would love to see you there! Have a great day!
