April Sketch Challenge

We here at Heart 2 Heart Challenges are so excited to have so many of you playing along with us each week. Whether it's your first week or your fortieth, we're glad you're here. Play along as little or as often as you like. All skill levels are welcome!

Are you ready to get sketchy this week? We have a terrific sketch for you to try! Feel free to interpret it in any way that you like, but as always be sure to use some CTMH products and mention the Heart 2 Heart challenge blog if possible! You have until the end of the month to play along with any of April's challenges. You might even make it into our Top 10 or be selected as our top chick to guest design with us soon.

Now let's show off what this month's guest designer, Geri, created with this sketch.

So sweet, Geri!

Now here's our Team B Design Team and their creative (and cute!) interpretations of this sketch:

Sketch time!

Are you ready for a new challenge this week? It's a sketch challenge - one of my favorites! Unfortunately, I didn't get to play along this week as having a ginormous section of tree fall into your roof kinda kills the mojo for the evening! But the rest of the DT has some awesome artwork to share - wait till you see~

But before we get to that, here are the two participants who won May's sponsored prizes - both from the Button challenge week - #11 Karen Fullam and #28 Connie MacFarlane! Congrats ladies!! Please send your mailing info to me at mbryt1@bex.net and I will pass it along to the sponsor. Another BIG thank you to Angel Shifflett and Sharon Holmes for sponsoring our prizes!!

This coming month of challenges brings 2 new sponsors and 2 new prizes - take a look:

From Michelle Owen of Cutezie Creations:

And from Romaine Rancier of Bumbles n Bees:

Great prizes ladies!  Thanks so much for sponsoring us!! Be sure to stop by and leave these ladies a little note of thanks.

Ok, on to our challenge. First, I present the sketch:

And now for some beautiful artwork based on the sketch, starting with our May Guest DT, Joelle  -

Wow! Joelle chose to fill in all 4 sections of the sketch with images. You rocked the sketch, Joelle, and it was fun having you play along with the team. Thank you~
