H2H#25 Ready for a Sketch?

It's week #25 over at the Heart 2 Heart challenge blog! It seems like just yesterday Mary started this weekly challenge to showcase CTMH products, and it's been 1/2 a year already! If you would like some inspiration featuring fabulous CTMH products, you really should check out this blog. There are some very creative people sharing their art there!

This week is a sketch challenge!

Here is the sketch we are to use:


My kids are already talking about Halloween costumes, so that's where my inspiration came from today. I rarely give out Halloween cards, but I couldn't resist breaking in this stamp set:

    found your blog through comments on susan raihala's simplicity blog.
    i love your cards, and your ideas, and your creativity. i discovered your boxes of christmas cards for your family that you made last year. what an awesome idea!!
    how did you make the box? i think i wd like to do this for my family this year. i always struggle with ideas for them when really they don't need anything. this is the perfect answer. thoughtful. useful. handmade.
