MIDNIGHT MADNESS LAUNCH IS HERE!!!! Week #1 (MMSC1)

Welcome to the Weekly Tuesday Midnight Madness Sketch Challenges!

I fell in love with the whole idea of sketch challenges and I am so excited about our first launch. Our Midnight Madness Designer Team has created some examples in hopes to spark your inspiration. Since it is the kick off, you have a number of samples to help get your own creative juices flowing. We will rotate the samples in the future along with links, so you will always have plenty of inspiration. I wanted to share as much of their incredible talent as I could for our launch. We have collaborated here to start these challenges for mere joy and our love of crafting. In honor of this kick off, I am donating a


Enjoy our samples and check out what you will want to know, because there is MORE!!

    I just discovered this sketch challenge, and actually finished my three cards today. THe examples are all awesome, and I am kind of embarrassed to place mine in the same group. But I will keep trying. I need more supplies, I am sure! (etsdas on SCS)
