Thank you for joining us for another sketch challenge - and this one is a challenge!! But first, I just realized that I forgot to announce the sponsor yesterday for this week's challenge. I think I was so wrapped up in trying to post a picture of the random generator thingy that I forgot. (Maxine - thank you for the tip. I'll give it a try next week.)
So this week's sponsor is The Pixie Cottage! Talk about adorable images! And do you get a lot of bang for your buck - their stamps are big which is nice for a quick card but are really nice for scrapbook pages which yields a bigger canvas. And here's what Michelle has offered for a prize:

Here's the sketch we'll be working with today - and as I said, it is a challenge but I know you can do it!! Afterall, this is why we do them, to think outside the box and push ourselves in creativity and passion.

... And here she is returning the sentiment of how much she misses him. Here is Fabby Gabby's card and she did fabby for sure! You know what I think of when I look at this? I see this as the wonderful country art that is done on an embroidery hoop!

And here's my card and I have to say I was really proud of this until I put in the line up with my team. I think my card pales in comparison! My team is fabulous and I am very blessed to have them. Like my card says, this is the season of blessing - the season of thanksgiving. I want to take a moment to thank my team for helping me every week and working so hard for my little blog. I appreciate each lady - they are amazing! I also want to thank Michelle for sharing her wonderful images with us. If you'd like, you can visit my blog to get the details on how I made this card.
Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see what you do with this sketch. Be sure to come back here and link it in Mr. Linky directly to your project. Leave comments, too, we love to hear from you.
Get out! These are all so incredible and wonderful! I can't even decide which is my favorite, the variety is so cool. The cows are so sweet missing each other, scarecrow is a darling, and your bear is toooo cute!! Wonderful job ladies!
