Sketch Challenge at Heart 2 Heart

This week over at Heart 2 Heart Challenges, we are having my favorite kind of challenge…a sketch challenge. It’s often how I start almost any project…cards or layouts. It beats staring at a paper or some photos for an hour (or more) trying to make a decision on how to cut my paper and what…
