Let's Get Sketchy in the New Year!

Thought I'd pop in and share a new creation (I know my posts have been few and far between....that's what a little munchkin does).  We're enjoying EVERY minute of it!!  Can hardly believe Olivia is already 5!!!  Time sure flies!

Today is the first Stella Says Sketch Challenge of the new year and I thought I'd share a card I made for a friend who is battling cancer right now. :(

Stella Says Sketch @ The Bug Blog

Today there's a great new sketch challenge at The Bug Blog.

So, here's my take on the sketch - a little thinking of you card for a special aunt in our family.

Of course, also use this Swirly Butterfly image that I absolutely love that has retired.

HOWEVER, there are some really awesome new butterflies that would be perfect on something like this at The Bugaboo Stamps Store!

Today over at The Bug Blog, we have a new Stella Says Sketch, Sketch challenge, just for you!
