FINALLY GOT TO PLAY ALONG MME SKETCH CHALLENGE

....please vote for my layout HERE.

yes, i did finally got the courage to play along

MY MIND'S EYE Sketch challenge

and i love how it turned out. i honestly don't have a lot of MME's paper.

i have my ABBEY ROAD kit i purchased at MICHAEL'S

and got it very cheap and i also got a few LIME TWIST

papers from ARTFUL DELIGHT kit and some SO SOPHIE papers

from my NOOK kit last year. And, oh yeah,  ARTFUL DELIGHT's January kit

had some MME goodies, too.

well, without further ado here is my take on the sketch-

  The challenge was to design a layout based on this fabulous sketch and use the theme “NEW” on the layout (sketch by Anam Stubbington).

thanks again for stopping by my blog i really appreciate it.

have a wonderful rest of the weekend.

hugs & lots of love,

isay :D
