Now for Our New Challenge!

Hello Karen here! Welcome to our 2nd challenge, this time I'm bringing you a Sketch to work with!
  
I also am very pleased and very proud to introduce my sister,
Sarah Pinnington who has kindly agreed to sponsor the HCTB.  After many years of trying to get me to make a card she  finally got me to 'have a go' and that was it, I was hooked.  I therefore blame her entirely for my dusty house and complete lack of savings!   On the other hand I get have a fantastic teacher 24/7 and always lots of fab inspiration so really I am very lucky.   Sarah runs Stampin Up classes in Maidstone and Romford every month both of which are a huge success and her projects really do have that 'special something'.  Sarah has posted
a little bit about Stampin Up and please pop over and see her, I know she would love you to visit.

Sarah here!  I am delighted to join Here come the boys' challenge blog as guest design team for this challenge.  I really enjoyed following the sketch.

Stampin Up do a great range of masculine themed products and with their colour co-ordination and matching stamp and punch sets they make it easy to get good results what ever your stamping style.  You can find a link to the online catalogue on my blog including the brand new mini catalogue which has some fab new men's stamp sets.  Thanks for having me as GDT this week.

This is the prize you are challenging for this time!

Good Luck! Hugs
