Card Sketch #6, May Guest Designer, and National Scrapbook Day

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

You can download and print this sketch by clicking on the card sketches link found under the "printable sketches" tab on the right sidebar.

I'm going to be completely honest here. I almost didn't use this sketch. While I loved it, I was afraid since it is so specific, that we would have a card week full of cards that all looked exactly the same. I am proud to say, the creative team proved me wrong! Over this week you'll see several different ways to construct this sun design and will see how fun this card sketch can be!

National Scrapbook Day - Saturday, May 7

Of course we are going to celebrate National Scrapbook Day! Here's what you find at Sketch Support on Saturday, May 7:

• a fun "scavenger hunt" blog hop with our Creative Team

• a bonus sketch

• a big giveaway

But we aren't stopping there! We love National Scrapbook Day and this hobby so much that we are going to celebrate it all month with several bonus sketches posted every Friday for the month of May. 

With almost every sketch we post here at Sketch Support we also share a project that uses the sketch for a different purpose. Like a layout from a card sketch, a two-page layout from a one-page sketch, a card from a two-page sketch, etc. We are going to follow that trend with the bonus sketches. The bonus sketches are all going to be based off the regular sketches for May. You'll see a one-page sketch based on a card sketch, a two-page sketch based on an add-on sketch, and many more! 

This month we'll be sharing 11 sketches total instead of the usual four! It's going to be a month full of sketches, projects, and fun!
