Create With Stamping Friends Challenge 945

Sketch Challenge Week With Winter Adventures!

It’s Thursday Challenge time at Create With Stamping Friends and this week’s Sketch Challenge is all about square cards. Take a look:

When the Winter Aventures Suite became available, it was first on my list because of the snowshoes! I am from Maine and I do snowshoe during the winter months. I also love the snowflake embellishments and the designer paper I used today.

I started by choosing my designer paper layer and because the color is Secret Sea & white, I knew I wanted to add a few splashes of color so I chose Lemon Lime Twist & Strawberry Slush:
