Hey everyone! I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend! Ours was quite busy with the two weddings, but still fun. My feet really killed me after the first wedding, so on Saturday, I went and picked up some sorta cute Naturalizers. They worked like a charm on Sunday, but standing still made my heels ache. I don't want to wear those shoes that look so comfy they're hideous, so they'll just have to do!
So, I'm back this week with a card + a sketch to share with you! Skipping Stones Design is such a great company. I've designed for them before earlier this year and had a great time. This time, I'm back as a Sketch Designer. Now, this is my first time taking on this challenge, but it was fun! I usually sketch first, then design. So, it wasn't too hard for me to draw up the sketch below. So, give it a shot and head on over to Skipping Stones Design blog to link it up! I'd LOVE to see what you do with it.

You gotta balance your shoes, Ashley! Not so ugly that they're too comfy, but no so stunning that they're gonna kill ya feet - just an inbetween pretty shoe works for me ;D LOL!
I digress, love your take on the sketch, especially those shades of green! Beautiful!
Hugs,

You're bringing raffia back! And I don't know how to act! (Get it, bringin' sexy back?) Honestly, that song went through my head when I saw this card! I LOVE IT!
