Merry Monday #107 - A Sketch (by me!)

Hey everyone, it's Monday and that means time for another fun challenge at Merry Monday!  This week's theme is my very first crack at choosing our challenge and I decided to go with a sketch. It's also my first time making a sketch so I hope it inspires you all to get crafty with us this week!


Here's my sketch, made into a lovely graphic by the multi-talented Lesley Croghan of course.  There's lots of room to fancy it up or keep it clean, whatever floats your boat :)


You can see all the details and gorgeous inspiration from the rest of the Design Team here.  Or stop by their blogs and give them some love:

Katie Melhus (you're here!)

Thanks for stopping by, keep it crafty!

    WOW! A gorgeous take on your sketch Katie. The DP with the CAS area is a perfect contrast.

    This is such a great card--love that you kept 1/2 of the background white. Took me a bit to figure out how to use the sketch, but now I have some more ideas! Thanks for the inspiration, Katie!

    Oh what a beautiful DSP you've used - it's so fresh and really stands out against the white card stock! Fabulous sketch - I really had fun playing along!
