Hi Stampers,

I'm excited to announce that in addition to being a Guest Designer for Create with Connie and Mary Occasions Edition I'm also joining their Thursday Challenge Design Team. That means every Thursday I'll be bringing you cards inspired by their Sketch and Color Challenges! I love sketches and color challenges. It really helps when you're creating a card. There is nothing worse than staring at a blank page 🙂 …. with a challenge at least you have a direction to go…

This week's challenge was a Sketch Challenge. I created this Sending Kisses Card…

…based on the sketch to the right. A simple sketch with a fun twist. I really liked the offset 2012 Create Challenges-004layers with the rounded corners.  I wanted to keep this card simple like the sketch so I added random heart stamped tone on tone to the Pink Pirouette layer and embossed hearts to the Very Vanilla layer! You'll want to be sure to visit the Create with Connie and Mary website to get more inspiration from the other designers!

While you are there, you can also sign up for the Create Occasions Edition going on right now! I hope you're inspired to play along with us this week! We love to see what you come up with!
