Happy New Year, everyone! Thanks for an amazing 2011 - it's so much fun being able to share what I love with you all! I am really looking forward to what 2012 has in store for us. :)
For our first 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge of 2012, we've got a Blog Hop AND a SKETCH created by Leanne for you all to use. Not only is it a fabulous sketch, but if you play along with us, you *could* win a month-long stint as one of our Guest Designers! How 'bout that??? Here's the sketch - and remember, a sketch is a guideline. Feel free to rotate it, change the shapes...make it your own (within reason, of course!)
I will admit, I had a heck of a time with this sketch and, in the end, rotated it and didn't use some of the elements because they just didn't *fit* - sorry, Leanne! But, once I did get it going, I like how it turned out. I was able to use Jen's fantastic inspiration challenge over at the TCP blog, Dancing in Pajamas - hearts, red, black and kraft??? I got this!!!
So, there you have it - my take on Leanne's sketch. You should play along with us - you could be one of our next Guest Designers! If you need some more inspiration, please hop on over to Tamie's blog to see how she made this sketch shine. Don't forget to leave comments along the way to be entered to win this little prize pack from yours truly:
See you soon!! Have a great week!
