Jen's DECONSTRUCTED SKETCH

** Edited to Add: Guest DT info below.

Hello friends and happy Thursday. I'm here to bring you a card for this week's challenge on Jen’s Deconstructed Sketch blog.

Today I used one of the NEW images from ALL THAT SCRAPS called C.C. Designs Laugh Lines Christmas Car. I love this image so much. I wanted to show you that it could also be used as an every day image and not just for Christmas. The sentiment is from the AmyR set Fence Sentiments. The paper, which by the way has my fav colors purple and green, is from the Bo Bunny Garden Girl 6x6 paper pad. Here is Jen's wonderful sketch and my card.

If you’d like to join us this week all you need to do is create a project using the above sketch as inspiration. There are no specific image requirements for this challenge. Upload your project to your blog or to an online gallery and link it back Jen's blog to Inlinkz by Wednesday, October 19, 2011 at 8 pm CST. (If you miss the deadline please leave a link to your card in a comment on Jen's blog… we’d still love to see it!!)
