Maria's Sketch Challenge #30 - 08-17-09

Hey Friends! This week is Maria's (me) week to host a challenge! It's strange talking about myself in the third person. . Anyway, this week's challenge is a sketch challenge! Easy, huh? Okay. . .there's approximately 4 months to go before the holidays roll in and if you create one card a week, you'll be making approximately 16 cards or so. Well, we're already on week 30 so that means we've already created 30 cards. Wow, that's not bad!! Well, you still have time so play along with us and together we can get our Christmas cards done so we won't stress out when the holidays roll around.

To play along, comment this post with the link to your blog, SCS, PCP or Online Photo. We'd love to see your lovely Christmas cards so be sure to join us this week!!
