I have some exciting news today! I was selected as a Guest Designer for Splitcoaststampers’ Clean and Simple challenges, and this is my week to serve in that capacity! I’m thrilled to have been chosen from the many people who tried out for the winter design team.
Since it’s Monday, it’s also time for a new weekly challenge at Paper Therapy! We have a sketch challenge this week. I combined the sketch with this week’s SCS Clean and Simple theme, “A Day in the Snow.”
When I learned the CAS challenge theme, I knew I wanted to use this snowman designer paper. Isn’t it darling? I had originally planned to use a different sentiment. Then in Friday’s mail I received this stamp, which I’d won as a trivia contest prize. It was perfect for the theme so I decided to use it instead of my first choice. I turned the sketch sideways – here’s how it was originally drawn:
I hope that my readers will join in the challenges this week at both Paper Therapy and Splitcoaststampers! I’d love to see what y’all create!

Congratulations on the DT spot!! Your card is just darling. The snowman paper is just too cute and I love the stamp. It looks so good inked in that blue. The embossing and the flip of the sketch are perfect touches.
