New Challenge @ Sunday Stamps #SSC346

 Today begins a new challenge at...

Sunday Stamps // #SSC346 ...A sketch challenge!!  This "In A Row" sketch (by our design team memeber, Laurie) was perfect for using up some of my designer paper stash!!  I picked this retired packet of papers from Stampin Up because of the fall feel they have...perfect for an autumn thank you card!

Now it is your turn!!  How will you use our sketch?? What kind of inspiration does it stir up for you??  We can't wait to see your creations using Laurie's "In A Row" sketch!!  Hop on over to our blog and sketch out all the details and gather up some additional inspiration from the rest of the design team!!

Allsorts Challenges // #AC802 ...An "anything goes" challenge!!  They always give us an additional theme that is optional to use, but today I didn't use that and just played along with the "anything goes" portion of this challenge!!   My anything goes showcases my love of dies (Spellbinders layering sentiment dies) and designer papers (Stampin Up)!!  Of course card #2 would also work for this challenge since it is an anything goes challenge!!  I used ErieLee Creative dies and Stampin Up papers, inks, and stamps for card #2.
