What a fun challenge....can't wait to play along!
Great new challenge. And I am thrilled to have won the December challenge. Was so fun to see the wonderful assortment of Christmas ideas. (I think I completed 8 of the 12.) Can't wait to do some shopping! Thanks so much.
How fun, I love sketches so can't wait to play along!
Congratulations to Kathy on winning the December challenge!
Oh, is the new digital image going to be released today?
Sounds like a fun challenge to me! Congrats Kathy!
I hope I read that right...and we can post a link to a card in a gallery, cause while I do have a blog, (although I haven't written in it forEVER) I don't usually post my cards on there, as then whoever will get said card, can see it before they get it. So....I'm hoping I can post it in my gallery on Splitcoast, and link that to here and still be eligible. :-)) That is of course, IF I get one made...which I do hope to do. :-)) BTW...if I do...it will be the first time I've done your challenge! I don't have time to do a lot of challenges, but with winter here I may be able to find a little time to just play, least I'm hoping to!
Well, I just printed out the handy pdf of all the card sketches at PageMaps. This is a new site to me and very handy! ALL of the samples are completely gorgeous. I hope to play along soon!
Lisa, stay tuned! New digi release coming soon! Marcella's pen has been busy at work and you're going to love what she has in store for 2018!!
Deb, YES! Feel free to use your SCS Gallery and then just provide a direct link to your creation so we can see! :-)
Oh WOW!! Everything is STUNNING!!! I always forget about card maps and I LOVE how each of the designer used their sketch!!
Julie--what a fun challenge...especially for the layout-challenged (uh, that would be ME!).
Your maps with designer cards inspire me – love this challenge and designer samples are super great.
Congrats Kathy. Fun theme. Sketches are a great way to kick start a project. Hugz
I love making cards following a map(sketch) in fact I hardly ever make a card without one. I am so going to join in this challenge. The DT rocked their cards.
That’s a super fun challenge !

The maps/sketches are SOOOOO gorgeous! And the example cards are exquisite! I'm loving all of them! I'm also loving all the entries. Some really gorgeous stuff going on there, and it's fun to see if I recognize which sketch they did! Keep them coming, everyone!!!!
This is more fun that a box of chocolate frogs. Just entered my third. Only 7 more to go LOL. Hugz
Oh my!!! I'm having a blast with this challenge, the Card Maps are amazing and the samples from all of you Power Poppy ladies are stunning and so inspirational.
Thank you!!
Hugs,
Maria Rodriguez.
