Your Favorite Sketch

Sometimes even the most creative paper crafter needs a blueprint. That's when sketches are so helpful. A scrapbooker may use a sketch when she wants to cram a lot of photos onto a layout. Or a card maker when she wants a fresh look for her greetings.

Close To My Heart has many pattern books filled with ideas. The best part is you don't have to make your project identical. Use the parts you like or that work with your photos, stamps or embellishments.

Our Design Team members share their favorite sketches this week:

We're excited to have Patti joining us this month, so please give her a warm welcome in the comments section and/or visit her blog (click on her image).  Patti shares:
I love all things crafty but I'm especially fond of paper crafting because you can complete a great project from start to finish in such a short amount time. I've been in the financial industry over 30 years and  a Close to my Heart consultant for 17. My life has been incredibly enriched by the friendships that I have made through sharing this creative endeavor.
