New Challenge @ Sunday Stamps #SSC371

 Today begins a new challenge at...

Sunday Stamps // #SSC371 ...A sketch challenge!!  I put together this week's sketch, but had no idea how close it was to the sketch that we had for challenge #370.  Five squares vs. 3 butterflies...crazy how close these two sketches were.  We turned them in separately, completely unaware as to the similarity of them.  Great minds think alike, I guess!!

Now it is your turn...we hope you will join the fun and play along with us over at Sunday Stamps.  We look forward to seeing you take on our new sketch challenge.  Hop on over to our blog for additional inspiration from the rest of the design team and for all the details on our new challenge that begins today.
