Great Impressions January Challenge–It’s a Sketch!

 

Today’s the day!  This is my very first Great Impressions Stamp post.  Yippee!  Today we are kicking of the new challenge for January and it’s a SKETCH challenge. 

 

This is my take on the sketch.    I used the sweet stamp Mouse with Bubble Hearts.     Although he is perfect for Valentine’s day, I know I will be using him again for birthdays, anniversaries, and even summer themed cards.

Here is a look at the sketch created by DT member Erin Taylor for the challenge.
