Hello my friends!  Can you believe it is already the first of December!  Holy sh--!  I am so not ready for the holiday!  I am crazy with too much other stuff--like the new embroidery machine I just bought myself yesterday--Merry Christmas to me--of course I don't even know how to sew more than a straight stitch so it will take a bit to learn--learned how to thread it today and played along for a bit.  But of course since it is Sunday night I had to think about the new sketch challenge.  So I put the embroidering down and worked on the sketch--hope you have time to play along too.  Here is the sketch for you to try this week......

I think this is a really fun sketch--although I really didn't like my card at all, lol. Too much other stuff on my mind. But sorry to say you are still going to see it! Here is my sample...



 It was one of those cards that just kept going and going--I couldn't get it to look like I wanted it to.  And the colors on the picture are pretty bad too.

1. You have a full week to play along!
2. Create a new card using the sketch as your inspiration.
3. Use any products you choose.
4. Add your card to your blog or other on-line spot and link back to this challenge.
5. Come back here and add a direct link to your sample for the challenge and NOT you home page of your blog--people will not look for your challenge card--trust me.
6. And this one is not really a rule but a request--get rid of that word verification!  It makes it hard for us to comment on your samples.  It is easier for you to delete the spam then for us to jump through tons of hoops to comment.  If your put your comments on moderation you do not have to worry about spam--you will have the option to delete it BEFORE it ever goes on your blog so you will ALWAYS be safe!
7. Have fun and tell you friends to play too! 
   Add your sample below
   Thanks!  Mary Jo

Well I think all the craziness of Summer vacation is now behind me.  Camping is done--Vacation Bible School is done--both of my mom's surgeries are done and now we can just enjoy the last few week's of summer at home--maybe--unless something else comes up.  Hope you are enjoying your summer!  I have a really easy sketch for you to try this week!  Here is the sketch....
