It's time for the new sketch at The Sweet Stop, SSS233:
I had a hard time with this sketch... Somehow the circles threw me off... I almost gave up on making a card, but at the very last minute, the idea of tearing a circle opening came to me and I was able to create this. Yay! I am so proud of myself!
Check out what the Sugar Babies came up with: Cathy McCauley, Korin Sutherland, Ceal Pritchett, Marlena Peduzzi, Melissa Shultz, Robin Parker, Stephanie Serrano, Ann Tuck, Cynthia Olheiser, Debbie Owens, and Jamie Moore.
Thanks for stopping by,
Monika

Monika, I love this! So rustic and gorgeous. The circle idea is great, I too had a hard time with the oval. Wonderful creation!

You always take shabby chic to a whole new level, and this is gorgeous! It's an explosion of Autumn right in the center of your card! I love the torn opening! Stunning!
