Hello! I have never done a sketch challenge before but thanks to Jo at Jo’s Scrap Shack, I took the plunge and I’m so happy I did. My niece’s birthday is coming up so I decided to use the sketch as my inspiration to make Amber’s card. She is turning 11 and growing up so fast!
If you want to check out the sketch to see how I did, go to Jo’s post here. Every Friday, she hosts a Funday Friday Challenge (FFC) and everyone is invited to play along! This sketch challenge ends June 7th, 6:00 pm CST. Winners will be announced on Monday, June 10th.

Hi Jo! I’m so tickled you mentioned your Funday Friday Challenge yesterday! Thanks for reaching out to me to give it a try! I had so much fun with this challenge and had a wonderful experience trying out a sketch for the first time. It really helped me in the design and it just came together so easily. I usually get lost in the layout so this was an eye opener for me. I can’t believe I waited so long to try out a sketch. I love your new challenge opportunities and will be looking to participating in many more that you offer. Thanks again for reaching out and encouraging me to link up. I really appreciate it and thanks for your lovely comments on Amber’s card! I hope she likes it. 🙂 Hubby said it was bright and colorful and reminded him of an ice cream shop. 🙂 Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend so far! ~Vanessa
Love the striped paper! So colorful! I like how you textured the ovals too! I also like how you layered the image for dimension. Nice job!
Thank you so much Valerie! I appreciate your lovely comments and your visit! 🙂
