So happy to announce that Rosalie is going to host monthly Cutter File Sketch Challenges in the forum. And what makes those Challenges different then your typical sketch challenge is we will be including the cutter files to help you facilitate those challenges. These will be ongoing throughout the year. So you can keep up with your projects. I have added the files in SCUT GSD KNK WPC AI. A bonus file will be available for those who commit to join in on the sketch challenge. Thank you to Rosalie for stepping up to be a hostest with the mostest.

Our Sketch comes to us from Becky Fleck. Becky happily gave us the opportunity to showcase her sketch.

For my niece who is a Softball Champion. I think she really liked it and will hang on her wall. I got this idea from my Creative Team Member Wendy. (Thanks Wendy)

About Tricia…

I’m a 37 year old mother of one Autistic daughter named Alexandria, step mother to a 25 year old son named William and a 22 year old daughter names Judie as well as a very young grandmother to one 18 month old grand daughter named Chloe. I have been scrapping for about 12 years now, and I love every minute of it. I use the QK Silhouette and love it. There is not a layout that I don’t use it on. My scrapping style is eclectic. I love everything and am not scared to try anything. When I am not scrapping I am behind the camera taking pictures of my family and the world around me. I just recently started making cards seriously where it used to be a one time thing that I did quickly and didn’t care how it turned out.

Lots of things happening at the end of the week at VDBC.. So check back again… see ya then!!

Enjoy!
