Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #600 Celebration!

Yes, you did read that correctly: Freshly Made Sketches 600th Challenge!  I am so happy to be celebrating along with a wonderful group of former FMS Queens!  We are inviting YOU to participate in the celebration!  

Fresh Made Sketches is one of the challenges I cut my card-making teeth on years ago and I'm happy to continue to play along when I can!  There's just something about a Sketch that gets my juices going.

Ready for my card?  How about that 600th Sketch?  Here you go...

Fun, right?  Well fun is what I'm here for!  Fun is what I give you:

ASD: Pengu-tastic Holiday, and Mermaid's Melody cover die.

I love how this one came out!  But I just know the other guest designers, and the FMS team will give you even more inspiration so head over now to check out the party post!!  

We sure hope you'll join us to celebrate this monumental milestone!
