  25. I have been wanting to come by and play for a while now, I have seen so many of my blogger buddies who create such lovely works with the sketches provided, and this was the week!! This was THE SKETCH that said, "USE ME!!!" for my project yesterday!! There is a lot going on this month, isn't there... Love the flower tutorial you've posted and look forward to seeing more. It is always so nice to see new ideas that we can incorporate in our own works to help us grow as crafters. Lovely works from the team, and I think that Sue's digital stamps are gorgeous!! And just look at the amazing works this amazing DT has made with them, wow!! I will be back to play in the future!! Now, to get the blinkie onto my blog!!!
    Take Care,

I upped the challenge for myself and did a 3 x 3 note card box. It was fun, but to do the sketch in minature 5 times took a while. I hope you like it. I put it in Mr. Linky.
