TULIPS & BUGS

 Good morning, and welcome to my blog.  Today is another Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Challenge, and we have two new sketches and one retro sketch.

Today, I'm showcasing 

Sketch #301

This is another very easy sketch, and it's a good way to use up some of those scrap design papers and card stock we all have.

If you want to see the other sketch, I'll showcase it around the 16th of April, when last month's winners are announced.  Other wise drop over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, and see what the design team have created.  You'll see Sketch # 300 as well as the retro sketch a blast from the past that Kelly decided to use.

A quick look at the inside of my card.

As I said, it's an easy sketch and it's a way to use up your scraps.
