Woo hoo! Can you believe it? We are so grateful that these amazing companies have offered giveaways to participants in our challenge! And that can be you! Check out the Freshly Made Sketches blog for all the details!
And now on to my card. I will admit, with no shame, that the pressure was on for this challenge. We invited all the sponsors' design teams to play along with us if they could and play along with us they did! The cards they all created are amazing (see them HERE) so I wanted to create something that fit right in. I relied on a tried and true formula for me.
I chose the sentiment on this card intentionally for this challenge. I'm so grateful for opportunity I've had in belonging to the group of friends that make up the design team at Freshly Made Sketches. We are so much more than a group of girls that make cards together. Despite the fact that we live on different continents and that some of us only "know" each other on Facebook we are a very close-knit family. I've never belonged to a group like this before, and I'm pretty sure that I will never will again. So a big MWAAAHH to my Freshly Made Sketches teammates.
And, of course, I am grateful for you, the designers that join us each week for our challenge. Since the beginning I consider it a privilege that you choose to include us in your crafty journey and I love to see your creations in the gallery. I hope that you will play along with us this week!
Thanks for stopping by!
