Challenge #106--Card Sketch

I hope everyone has had a great week. I spent three fabulous days with my husband for an early Valentine's Weekend in Italy. Lots of great picture taking moments this past week. But unfortunately, my camera broke while I was in Italy and now I am on the hunt for a new camera. I can't believe how many different kinds are out there.

Today should be the Recipe Challenge. But because Valentine's Day is coming up, I thought I would switch the rotation for this month and upload the Card Sketch before the Recipe Challenge.

Take a look at what the Design Team did with the Card Sketch this week. Amazing inspiration!

If you decide to use the sketch, we would love to see your card you make. Just upload a link in the comment section so we can take a peak.

Have a super week!

Challenge #105--Layout Sketch

Happy Tuesday!

It has been a crazy week at my house this past week. Between the snow and kids being stranded at their schools unable to get home because the buses would not run, and my son getting hurt in school twice in one week, and then my son having not one but two birthday parties to celebrate his 11th birthday and also getting 4 of my kids to the dentist, I have had plenty of picture taking opportunities.

I am sure you too, have had picture taking opportunities this past week. Those pictures you took this past week are perfect for what we have to share with you here on the Sketches! Blog today.

Today, we have a layout sketch to share. I am so excited to show you what the Design Team did with it. They are so talented!

If you decide to use the sketch, we would love to see your layout. Just give the link in the comment section to your blog or online gallery where your layout is, so we can take a peak.

Have a super week! And don't forget to get your camera out and capture the moments!
