Papertake Weekly - Sketch Week

Hey everyone! Hope you're having an awesome start to your week! I had an AMAZING weekend and was lucky enough to get to take three Prima classes this weekend taught by the wickedly talented Frank Garcia! I made three drop dead gorgeous projects and am so very happy with them! It's going to be really hard to give them away. *sigh* but the best gifts are always ones we want to keep for ourselves, right?  So now it's time to pull myself back down to earth and get back to business. It's time for a new challenge at Papertake Weekly, and since it's the last Tuesday of the month, that means it's time for one of Dawny's awesome sketches, and it also means we're sponsored by the amazing folks over at Simon Says Stamp!!

.... $25 voucher up for grabs for you to spend in Heidi’s shop  and as there's a whole host of fab stuff there, our winner is  soooo going to be spoiled for choice– woohoooo :)

Thanks so much for the awesome prize, Heidi!!

Here's my take on the sketch

I kept it very simple and just followed the sketch while adding a few flowers. Please be sure and visit Papertake Weekly to see all the gorgeous creations by my design team sisters!! I'm super excited cause we've got three AMAZING guest designers joining us through the month of May! So please welcome them with open arms! And then we'd really love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play along with us! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!
