hang in there - Seize the Sketch 1

Happy Tuesday, and welcome to the very first challenge of Seize the Sketch!  I am so excited to continue on with this group of super-talented ladies, and look forward to bringing you some awesome sketches by the DT along with amazing inspiration! :)

This week our sponsor is - FRESH SQUEEZED STAMPS and our WINNER will receive TWO stamps sets of their choice!!!

Here's some helpful information:

Seize the Sketch:
1. Each Tuesday at 5am (PST), we will bring a new sketch to you, created by one of our design team members.  This week's sketch is by Amy!
2. The sketches may be used to create any type of card! The sky is the limit!
3. At the end of the week, the "sketcher" will choose the weekly winner and the rest of the team will choose one honorable mention each!

Here's my take - let's see yours!  Cardstock and vine die from PTI, stamps from Hero Arts.

Thanks for taking a peek - be sure to check out what the rest of the DT has created for you this week!  Have a great day!  Cathy
