{1.14.2012} SPARKS designer drafts

hey there little guy

Here we are with the new SPARKS challenge from Paper Smooches for this week.
My absolute favorite challenge of the bunch:

week 2

I had so much fun with this sketch.  It all started with that adorable little bug.  I just had to include him somewhere.  After playing around with different locations, he ended up as a tab above the sentiment.

Check out the other girls sharing their SPARKS cards this week.

    Don’t get me wrong, I DO NOT like real bugs at all, but I sure do love stamped images of them. AND this little guy is cute!!! Love the whole card – it’s so bright and positive feeling!
