I have had the thrill of being the August guest at
Freshly Made Sketches. It got even more amazing when they asked if I would do a sketch for this week. Me!! A sketch!!! That you all are going to use!!!! Can you believe that I've never done that before?? So...here is my first ever sketch...
I'm not going to say that it is wildly creative - but I think it gives you some room to play. I was dragging my feet coming up with something (nerves!), then I made a card for my personal use and realized there was a sketch in it!
I used a tag for the top panel. I scalloped the next layer. Then the bottom layer isn't even a paper square - I used a mini heart stencil. Clearly my sentiment went in a different place than on the sketch, but I figured many players might want to use that top panel for an image.
This month with the group at Freshly Made Sketches has been truly wonderful. They are such a friendly and welcoming group. There is a private Facebook group and the chatter ranges from blogging horror stories to advice on product purchases to funny life moments. Thank you all for letting me join you this month. It was an honor!
I do hope you all play along with this sketch - I am very excited to see what everybody comes up with!
