This week’s Blogger Challenge was a sketch challenge. I had a card I needed to make so I adapted my sketch challenge to fit my needs. Pictured below, you will see the sketch. The beauty of a sketch is that you can be as “free” or as “fitted” as you’d like. It’s basically a “jumping-off” point that you can adapt to fit a stamp set’s image or a need that you have, especially if you just don’t know where to start!
Above is the October sketch that I used, and you can see the card below that. Do you recognize the stamp set? It is “Good Neighbor” which was a SU Sale-a-bration stamp set last year, mounted in part on a scrap of Welcome Neighbor DSP which was also only available during Sale-a-bration. I knew that this was an adorable stamp set that I would want to keep for my “Welcome Neighbor” baskets that I like to give. I frequently welcome new neighbors with a batch of brownies or chocolate chip cookies, but I’m going to add a small package of handstamped cards and my catalog now too! What a great way to introduce myself and my Stampin’ Up business I’m thinking!

Wow – great card. I have that set and don't think to pull it out, but your card makes me want to. Those little houses look great in pastels and I love all the places where you stamped – on the outside, on the inside, on the envelope. It makes it all so special.

This is GREAT! I love that stamp set, but am always stumped at how to used it–your rocked it 😀
Wonderful card, Jeanne. Love your row houses.
I love the completed envelope and the 3D houses. Great job on the sketch.
