More Challenge Fun - EBTKS Challenge #21

So while I was scanning many of my normal blogs, I found Everything But the Kitchen Sink, thanks to Kelly Marie from Lawn Fawn.  I really like the concept behind their designs, and so I was really excited to try this challenge:  

Whenever I think of cards with a circle, I'm often drawn to this adorable, versatile stamp set from Impression Obsession!  And, since it is summer I used some really bright colors:  

 

So this will make a great birthday card for either one of my family members or friends!  We have a lot of fall birthdays coming up!  I really thought this challenge was neat and I'm starting to definitely enjoy working with sketches!

In other news, if you look at my flickr page you will see that I have really been cranking out christmas cards lately.  Since I'm a teacher, I try to get as many christmas cards as possible done before the school year begins.  In the next few weeks, I'll select my favorites and place them in their own post!  Have you all been working on your christmas cards yet?  How about halloween cards?  I would love to see examples from others for the fall and winter holidays!  Thanks for stopping by!  =)
